Summary:

"In 'Beyond the New. On the Agency of Things', theorist Louise Schouwenberg and designer Hella Jongerius explore the life and agency of things when experienced in various contexts. As mediators, things shape our experiences and shape who we are when used in daily life. The same things are merely valued for their stylistic newness within a commercial context, whereas the museum seems to be an ideal place for grasping the manifold cultural meanings that hide in the objects on display. In a museum visitors can detect which designs represented cultural innovation when they were conceived and have not lost significance ever since. Included are a philosophical essay on the difference between things and objects, and a hypothetical conversation between Louise Schouwenberg, Hella Jongerius, and three voices from the past: Anni Albers, Walter Gropius and Johannes Itten."--Back cover
