It’s that time of the year when we all start looking forward by looking back. Not that we relish looking back on 2020, but we are certainly looking forward to 2021. One exhibition we are looking forward to is the New York debut of curator Alice Stori Liechtenstein at Friedman Benda. Liechtenstein is co-founder of Schloss Hollenegg for Design at the Schloss Hollenegg estate in Austria, parts of which date to 1163. Per Schloss Hollenegg,
The project’s mission is to support young emerging designers, with the aim of creating space for design research, thinking and critique. Schloss Hollenegg for Design offers one of the few residency programs specifically aimed at designers, as well as organising exhibitions, workshops and symposia centered around design.
Liechtenstein curates the exhibition Split Personality at Friedman Benda, running January 11 through February 6, 2021.
In this talk from May of 2020, with Glenn Adamson for Friedman Benda’s Design in Dialogue series, Adamson speaks with Liechtenstein and award-winning Parisian designer Marlène Huissod – who was a designer-in-residence at Schloss Hollenegg in 2019 – on the unique joys and challenges of contemporary design in Schloss Hollenegg.
