dna@FORM 2008 is now closed for applications.

We will be accepting applications for 2009 from June 2008 onwards.

 

dna epitomises the thinking behind FORM – exploring the common ground between art and design. It provides visitors with the chance to discover – and buy – the work of up-and-coming talent as it
explores art, applied arts, and design.

Some of the most dynamic work being created in art and design consciously blurs the boundaries that traditionally divided art from applied art and applied art from design. And just as the definition of ‘design’ or ‘art’ is becoming fuzzy so is the definition of ‘designer’ or ‘artist’. Key artists are becoming important players in the field of design and the art world is taking more interest than ever in
contemporary design.

In selecting the work for dna we sought to reflect the values and virtues that this diverse group share. So while they draw on, or borrow, the language of other disciplines, what almost all have in common is their commitment to skilled techniques, to the innovative use of materials and to truly contemporary design and aesthetics.
