Hook-ness: a collaborative exhibition featuring the work of seven Vancouver-based designers who explore the complexities of ‘hook’. Each designer questions the conventions and assumptions of hooks – offering an array of new findings, interpretations and narratives.
The Hook-ness exhibition is the first of a series of investigative studies conducted under the scope of the –Ness project, conceived by Vancouver designer and curator Joji Fukushima. –Ness explores a strategy of design investigation where mundane events and phenomena are examined and re-designed to expose the limitations of our established perceptions.
The Hook-ness exhibition at the 221A Artist Run Centre in Vancouver, Canada is accompanied by a designer talk, an exhibition catalogue and this site.
