Vor Kurzem erreichten uns Informationen von CultureLabel (www.culturelabel.com) über einen Wettbewerb, der in Zusammenarbeit mit ICA, London, Triennale Museum, Mailand, Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, und London Design Festival ausgerichtet wird.

Aus dem Pressetext:

RELEASE1.0 is an international design competition launched in partnership with ICA, London; Triennale Museum, Milan; Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin; and London Design Festival. The competition is calling for designs for innovative new museum- and gallery- shop products from all over the world and in return offers the winners financial remuneration and, more importantly, access into some of the most important culture institutions worldwide.

An influential jury from the worlds of design, art and culture will sort through all the entries to pick the final three winning designs (in three different price categories), which will be sold in the shops of the competition’s international museum and gallery partners. The designers will be paid a revenue share of the product sales (7% of the wholesale price) and they will retain the full IP rights of their innovation. More importantly, the competition offers entrants exposure in some of the most prolific cultural institutions in the world and in front of some of the most powerful people in the art, culture and design.

The jury comprises:
Ambra Medda - Director, Design Miami & Design Fair ArtBasel
Ben Evans - Director, London Design Festival
Benjamin Allder - Art Director, MTV Sticky magazine
Ekow Eshun - Artistic Director, ICA
Thorsten Van Elten - Designer
Virginia Bruce - CEO, Real Brand & Business
Frances Raynolds - Acquisitions Board & Patron, Tate Modern
