Since the 70s it’s a known statistical fact tha t when people are asked about their favorite color and number the majority will list the color 'blue' and the number '7'. Bell Vol 2. investigates thi s mass cultural phenomenon of ours and raises at the same time a notion of beauty that can be calculated.\n\nFeaturing theoretical contributions as we ll as design and art objects\, the creative contributors take on such quest ions of our time: is it desirable to create art or design that appeals to a large audience? Should art and design cater to or provoke? As a designer o r artist do I use my insight to appeal to mass taste or do I seek to change this taste through my creativity?\n\nIn interpreting these questions bell gave the artists\, designers\, architects and theoreticians free creative r eign to explore. By itself the title “blue 7” impels designers to devel op the creative objects and artistic contributions according to their indiv idual visions and to take up positions in relation to their work in the int erviews featured in the accompanying Bell Magazine.\n\nThe diverse nature o f the box has been shaped by artists and designers and features a special m usician-designed music box by FS Blumm (Morr Music)\, jewelry made from pur ple rubber by product designer Ursula Bonderer\, as well as a poster create d by street-artist Nomad. Designer Andrea Pößnicker has also produced for the box an extravagant currency for consumers with an affinity for design. \nAddressing theoretically the theme “blue 7” lies with Design Professo r Charly Frech (founder of Next At)\, philosopher Jörg Schäfer and Inga W ellmann (Einstein Forum)\, who take up their positions on the popular pheno menon in either a very personal manner or in the form of an objective analy sis.\n\nThe release of Bell Vol. 2 will also be accompanied by an exhibitio n at the CREATE BERLIN Showroom from 16.05 to 27.06.2008. Given the interdi sciplinary nature of the presentation\, creative curiosity and a passion fo r collecting is likely to be rediscovered. During the opening celebration\, artists and designers will present their ideas in person. With “blue 7 bell and CREATE BERLIN present an extraordinary overall concept—an unpa ralleled critical showing of art &\; design!\n\n SUMMARY:Ring the Bell DTSTART:20080516T190000 DTSTAMP:20080723T191819 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
