Surface Design Show 10th-13th February

For the past five years, the Surface Design Show has earned renown for highlighting innovative new works in art and style.

The Open Gallery has long supported architects and designers - believing that art should extend beyond the gallery and into living spaces. From angular courtyard projections to panoramic loft spaces, the installations have the power to radically transform a space but can also function as windows to the outside world and thereby offer a subtle enhancement to the aesthetics of a building.

Open will be at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London on the 10th - 13th February 2009. The Out of Openness collection will be one of several on display at our exhibition stand 176.

This year the design powerhouse, Sebastian Conran, will be launching the Show on Tuesday 10th February. Open will be there with a glass (or two) of champagne in hand so come by and join us!

Debate at ICA

Debate at ICA

Thank you to everyone who came to the The Artscape Project's Debate 2006 at the ICA, "Future Cities: Nature vs. Technology" - the event was a complete sell-out!

Of course special thanks go to the inspirational speakers; Sir Terry Farrell, Julia Barfield, James Heartfield and Hilary Lawson, the film crew who captured the event for the BBC, and the journalists from the Evening Standard, Architects Journal, Building Design, Hospitality Interiors and the Landscape Institute Magazine.

Thank you also to everyone who gave us such positive feedback on the speaker presentations, the debate and video works which provided a backdrop to the event and a focus for discussion.

For anyone who was unable to attend (or was turned away at the door when tickets ran out - apologies!), please contact us if you would like a free DVD of the event.
