In the permanent exhibition at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum in Dresden that is about various aspects of being human, gewerkdesign has redesigned the last room with a studio exhibition on the theme of beauty. "Bin ich schön!" (I am beautiful!) is a participatory project involving around 100 Dresden residents, which will be expanded iteratively over the next few years. Exhibits and stories come from participatory workshops and the permanent exhibition. To ensure ecological sustainability, we worked with existing materials as much as possible. Visitors encounter themselves in many places in this participatory and modular exhibition and actively contribute to its changeable design.

As exhibition designers, gewerkdesign was responsible for the following tasks: scenography, exhibition architecture, and spatial graphics.

The travelling exhibition »NACHRICHTEN–NEWS« that we designed for the Museumsstiftung Post und Telekommunikation, is now moving from the Museum for Communication in Berlin to the Museum for Communication in Frankfurt, where it will be on display for one year starting on October 9th.

The spatial set-up of the exhibition is an increasing sorting of the cacophonic news overload that we are confronted with today, resulting in a clear overview and positioning within the diverse media landscape. The exhibition is modular, sustainable and inclusive and reflects the controversial relationship between the news and its users. The exhibition is dialogical throughout: Visitors are being asked their opinions station by station. The interactive exhibition is intended to make visitors explore and become conscious of what habits and needs motivate us to choose specific news channels.

We designed this year's Christmas card by means of cyanotype printing. This photographic printing process involves long-term exposure to UV light, i.e. sunlight. The result is a tribute to the December sun, which also runs through the design of the unique series: Each motif features a dark, eclipsed sun as the focal point, around which various objects from our office and garden are arranged to conjure up abstract, imaginative pictures.

We complement the images with a poetic text about light and darkness, quoted from »Le Soleil / Die Sonne« by Francis Ponge, 1954, in an annotated edition published by Matthes & Seitz Berlin, 2020.
