BLESS - Celebrating 25 Years of Always Stress with BLESS N°42–N°74

€49.00

The third publication of the Paris and Berlin based situation designers encompasses their collection and projects from 2010 until 2022, with written reflections on their innovative and witty work by Douglas Fogle & Hanneke Skerath, Anna Gritz & Krist Gruijthuijsen, Nakako Hayashi, Tom McCarthy and Jeppe Ugelvig.

2022 marked the 25th anniversary of BLESS. Since 1997, Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag have been working together on numerous transdisciplinary projects. Dubbing themselves 'situation designers,' their products blend fashion, art, design, architecture, business and social practice, always aiming to create an equilibrium between mental and physical exertion. Driven by the ambition to create objects for everyday use, BLESS defines her practice and products as a way of life—based on the firm belief that one can shape life today in a way that creates a future worth living in.

The third publication of the Paris and Berlin based designers is one of the three outcomes of the project A Year with… BLESS N° 72 BLESSlet, with which KW Institute for Contemporary Art honored the anniversary. The publication encompasses BLESS's collection and projects from 2010 until 2022, with written reflections on their innovative and witty work by Douglas Fogle & Hanneke Skerath, Anna Gritz & Krist Gruijthuijsen, Nakako Hayashi, Tom McCarthy and Jeppe Ugelvig.

Bless is a provocative collaborative project by Desiree Heiss (born 1971 in Freiburg, Germany) and Ines Kaag (born 1970 in Fürth, Germany) generating products in the fields of fashion accessories, design and fine art.

Bless have exhibited internationally at the 1st Berlin biennale (1998/99), Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (1999), Centre Pompidou (2000), Manifesta 4 (2002), Palais de Tokyo (2003), Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2004), Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (2003), Goethe-Institut, Tokyo (2005), Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2006)...
