Flexibility

Flexibility was a collective installation, presented during the 2008 Torino World Design Capital. The world is changing at an ever-increasing pace, producing unexpected, disruptive results. According to Guta Moura Guedes, curator of the Flexibility, design in a fast-changing society, designers must respond to this context by creating everyday structures and products that are highly adaptable or transformable. The exhibition, organised in two sections – a research part and an installation part, took place in the unsettling surroundings of a former prison in Turin, a space obviously not at all flexible. The installation was a site-specific project based on a very open brief about flexibility.
