Toegepast: Fit to Boost!

Explosive in Brussels! Design competition Toegepast celebrates 15th anniversary.
Design Platform Limburg is invited in the Design Flanders Gallery in Brussels for its anniversary edition of TOEGEPAST: Fit to boost!
The Gallery works as a dynamic space for thinking, doing and celebrating, in which young and talented designers who were nominated by Design Platform Limburg over the past 15 years meet up with a variety of players in the design sector. Designers, manufacturers, academics and even cooks give Toegepast’s designs a new boost. Design Platform Limburg and Design Flanders are pooling their various networks, approaches and methods for this design exhibition. Curator TeamTank is catapulting Limburg to Brussels for the duration of the exhibition, with a series of remix objects, dream team diners, events-in-events, new networks and clever confrontations as a consequence. You are more than welcome to join us around the table, to take part in these conversations and to hold interviews with the participating designers.
Toegepast: Fit to Boost! Is an exhibition in the framework of Design September 2010.

What?
01. remix objects
Objects that are combined, set in a new context or brought about in association with each other. They are the result of various perspectives, interpretations and methods of working.
02. Dream team dinners
Eight guests meet, eat together and discuss topics determined beforehand such as digitalization and design, the future of training in design, design critique, DIY designers and the integration of the various design disciplines into networks. The meal is designed by FoAM, a transdisciplinary laboratory that brings together people such as chefs, artists, scientists, gardeners and writers. Exactly
what appears on the menu is determined by the combination of guests, the subject under discussion, the tableware given by Studio Pieter Stockmans and the table scenography devised by Caro Van den hole.
03. Events-in-event
Not only are Toegepast people involved, but also those who where missed in previous editions or form a welcome addition to the future. You can find more information about these extra events associated with Toegepast: Fit to boost! on the websites of these partner organizations.
