Denmark 1997. The exhibition consists of several individual but interrelated elements. The dragon - the most important of four heavenly creatures in Chinese mythology and one of the most widely and variously used Chinese symbols - is a figure that recurs throughout this exhibition project. It appears in different shapes, indoors and well as outdoors. Most spectacularly, there is a gigantic flying kite, in the shape of a dragon, from the lawn of the museum’s sculpture park. Before the dragon kite is launched, it is fitted with gunpowder, which at a given time is ignited and explodes, transforming the dragon into a crackling, fire-breathing creature.

Denmark 2015. Remember the DANSK stores around the U.S., I wonder if you miss them as much I do ?

Jens Quistgaard regarded himself more as a sculptor than a designer, however he did practice industrial design, thereby expanding the traditional role of the artist. This exhibition shows how the design of objects and utensils for daily use in the home was achieved with techniques and form language, which heralded new times within design and industrial mass production, whilst still preserving craftsmanship. Several of QuistgaardÂ’s designs and ideas, which today may seem somewhat simple, were actually revolutionary for their time.
