Kristina Wißling was invited to hold the keynote speech for the exhibition opening "PLICA - contemporary design with a view to the crinkle" of the STIFTUNG KUNST, BILDUNG und ERZIEHUNG SPARDA Bank in Münster. PLICA was the second part of a three-part exhibition series and followed SWELL, which dealt with flowing and soft transitions. The exhibition PLICA gave a representative overview of wrinkles, breaks, edges, and folds, which is called plica in Latin.
Kristina Wißling Opening speech: "From da Vinci to space travel - the folding as genius stroke", which was also reprinted as an introduction to the exhibition catalog, included the meaning and range of variation of folding as a modern cultural technique. One of the elementary possibilities of creating space from spatiality and convolution through folding is the equally unexpected and effective use in the current design.
Kristina Wißling`s exhibition object "Ocho" a butterfly made of handmade paper was first constructed and drawn on the computer, and then folded by hand in eight hours. The computer-aided, media-based construction of complex crease patterns has been linked to traditional origami. OCHO is part of the collection of Sparda Bank Münster next to objects by Issey Miyake, Tokujin Yoshioka and Oskar Zieta.
Designers and design teams representing the show included Ken Blackburn, Saskia Diez, Thomas Feichtner, Patrick Frey, Konstantin Grcic, Oswald Haerdtl, Marcus Kistner, Lamborghini, Herman Lijmbach and Jasper de Leeuw, Issey Miyake, molo design, Raw-Edges, Responsive Design Studio, Gerrit Rietvelt, Axel Schmid, Steffen Schulz, Michael Sieger, Elisa Strozyk and Sebastian Neeb, Richard Sweeney, Harry Thaler, Patricia Urquiola, Kristina Wissling, Tokujin Yoshioka, Oskar Zieta
