Blood related - a Talk by Basse Stittgen
Basse Stittgen reveals a world through a lense of materiality. For this talk he will explore blood as a material beyond disgust and stigma.
The work of Basse Stittgen (1990) is positioned at the intersection of design, art and material research. It stems from a fascination for matter, how it can be created, cared for, and questioned to unfold hidden narratives.
Basse’s work looks for ways how objects can mediate contemporary complexities by way of making invisible processes tangible. It puts things out of place and reshapes them through tools and processes that are developed from looking at the world through a lense of materiality.
He graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2017 and since then his work has been exhibited at the V&A Museum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Kunsthalle Basel and the 13th Shanghai Biennale of Architecture. It is part of the collections such as the MAK Vienna, the Rijksmuseum Twenthe, the Verbeke Foundation, and the Wellcome Collection.
