Design Camp for teens sneak preview
Dre Wapenaar and Ab Rogers speak Sunday 16 June, 2002 at the Honewell Auditorium, Carlson School of Management, of the University of Minnesota (MN). They will present their work and talk about the Design Camp of teens (age 14-17) that will take place 22-26 July.
Dre Wapenaar is a Rotterdam-based artist whose primary medium is tents - environments designed to shape encounters, whether between individuals or for large groups. Dre's portfolio includes a tent for reading newspapers, a birthing tent, "Deathbivouac," the "Pavilion of Loneliness," "Tree Tents" and "4GPP" - a pavilion for the performance of Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt's "Concerto for Four Grand Pianos." A notable pianist himself (and a dexterous exponent of ten Holt and Bach), Dre will be co-teaching the DWELLING workshop with Jennifer Yoos. Location, time, RSVP.
