TALK SERIES: SUSTAINABILITY & CERAMICS
During this 1 hour live Zoom talk (40 minute talk + Q&A) Iris will talk about Smogware - a project to provoke debate and behaviour change towards improved air quality by harvesting smog dust which they then use as stains in ceramic glazes. The particulate matter makes visible, and even tangible, the poor air quality that surrounds us. Together they have collaborated with researchers and ceramic makers from the Netherlands, to global cities from Milan, Berlin, to Beijing and London.
Iris de Kievith is as an independent architect focussing on transformation challenges. Stating ”if the environment shapes who you are – what environment do you want to create?” Iris works together with Annemarie Piscaer on the project. Annemarie studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven and Master Education in Arts at Piet Zwart Institute. In 2014 she started Studio Dust, a design studio focusing on research and design regarding waste-streams. With the thought that everything has a value even dust, ‘from dust to dust’. She teaches among others at Academy Sint Joost and Design Academy Eindhoven.
