Thirteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

Two projects in one, One and Three Books is a curatorial project that is the outcome of an on-going practice based research and pedagogical project, both led by Danne Ojeda. Their purpose is to analyze the relationship between the book as a concept and the book as an object of communication given a very specific socio-cultural context. Inspired by Joseph Kosuth’s artwork One and Three Chairs, both practice based research and curatorial projects are seen as a conceptual proposition that investigates the definition of a book while exploring the book’s form throughout its production process. In this journey, participants of the pedagogical project become co-creators in shaping a learning experience that is expected to assist them in their professional competence, while strengthening their individual character and civic responsibility.
