Piece and processes of current Design as Contemporary Art

Authors

  • Sebastián García Garrido

Abstract

Art and Design only differ today in the intention when it comes to making one type of piece or another. As a consequence, Art and Design dialogue in their expressive, material and technical concepts, and share the processes of the handmade industry and of the audience purchasing and contemplating visual creation in museums. The number of current designers creating pieces of strong visibility, inspired in local multicultural aesthetics, and whose manufacture process must be handmade, is increasing. This will promote artisans’ ability to design up-to-date pieces, as a result of the exchange of points of view, whereas trade fairs will increasingly compete with centres for Contemporary Art.

Key words: design, handmade, art-piece, contemporary art, multiculturality, glocal, symbiosis handmade-design.
