alter. sees an exhibition as more than an end in itself. By inviting visitors to spend time in the space, touch and use products, and engage in conversation, we aim to build new relationships among creators and between creators and audiences.
New this year, the lounge is a space where visitors can use some of the furniture and objects on display. Rather than viewing products from a distance, they can experience their value firsthand—by sitting, touching, and spending time with them.
The lounge will also include a studio, where exhibiting creators and guests will take part in talks throughout the event. These conversations will explore the ideas behind the projects and products, the choices of materials and techniques, and the processes through which the works took shape. Recorded live with an audience, the talks will be shared online during and after the event, building an archive that offers a deeper understanding of the exhibition and the creators’ practices.
We believe the relationships formed here—across disciplines, roles, and generations, and between emerging creators and audiences—can help nurture new cultures and markets, and become a force for change.
