New Book “Der Ulmer Hocker. Idee – Ikone – Idol”
Buch: “Der Ulmer Hocker. Idee – Ikone – Idol”
Von Museum Ulm / HfG-Archiv, Victoria Lea Heinrich, Thomas Hensel, Martin Mäntele
Erscheinungsjahr: 2023
Mit Buch und Ausstellung stellt das HfG-Archiv / Museum Ulm erstmals einen der bekanntesten an der Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (HfG) entstandenen Entwürfe in das Zentrum einer analytischen Darstellung. Mittels eines polyperspektivischen Blicks auf die mannigfachen Bedingungen, die den Hocker ermöglicht haben, wird nicht nur ein Designklassiker verstehbar, sondern darüber hinaus auch ein originelles Modell von Geschichtsschreibung eingelöst, das als wegweisend für weitere Untersuchungen betrachtet werden kann. Der Band bildet den Auftakt zu einer Buch- und Ausstellungsserie über die wichtigsten Entwürfe, die an der Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm zwischen 1953 und 1968 entstanden sind.

What do a wanknutsaw, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, a broomstick and Max Bill have in common? Answer: they all played a significant role in the creation of one of the most famous design classics of the 20th century. Hardly any object is more inconspicuous than this one and yet none has attracted more attention. We are talking about the so-called “Ulmer Hocker” (Ulm Stool).
With the exhibition “The Ulm Stool: Idea – Icon – Idol“, the HfG-Archiv is for the first time placing one of the most famous designs created at the Ulm School of Design (HfG) at the centre of an analytical presentation. By means of a poly-perspective view of the manifold conditions that made the stool possible, not only a design classic becomes understandable, but also an original model of historiography is presented that could in turn set a precedent.

“INTERSECTION” ist eine Gastkuration von Wolfgang Flad, um die kreativen Schnittmengen zwischen Skulptur und Design zu beleuchten.
Verteilt über unsere drei Showrooms zeigen wir die Arbeiten von insgesamt 14 Künstlern und Designern. Hier trifft minimale Abstraktion auf soziale Aspekte, Alltagsmaterialien werden zum Raumträger, andere Funktionalitäten laufen ins Leere und bewahren doch Haltung, während sich hinter manch dekorativer Ordnung unvermittelt ein subversiver Sinn auftut. In einer Zeit des Wandels, stellen die Protagonisten von “INTERSECTION” mit ihren Kreationen vermeintliche Grenzen in Frage.
“Es ist die Idee die Welt neu zu ordnen und zu sortieren, unser Leben neu zu denken …”

UP Vargas Museum
The Goethe-Institut in partnership with IFA (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, the German institute for international relations) and the Vargas Museum presents Pure Gold – UPCYCLED! UPGRADED! an exhibition that highlights re- and upcycling in design.
Composed of 76 pieces by 53 designers from 7 regions in the world, Pure Gold is currently touring the world and will count Manila as one of its stops this year. This initiative of IFA is an exhibition with the theme of upcycling – the re-use of raw materials that have already been processed to create new objects of greater value – aims to raise awareness of alternative production techniques, while simultaneously pointing up contemporary European and non-European design developments. The designs use what appear to be inferior starting materials, combine different kinds of objects in an unconventional way, or creatively process unwanted by-products.
Curated by Volker Albus
The IFA has structured the exhibition as an innovative co-creative format which promotes artistic and cultural exchange, and as a competence center for international cultural relations, connects civil societies, cultural practices, art, media, and learning.
Pure Gold – UPCYCLED! UPGRADED! is an exhibition by the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen e. V. (ifa), Stuttgart, Germany, www.ifa.de and is presented by the Goethe-Institut Philippinen in partnership with the Vargas Museum.

The Goethe-Institut is the Federal Republic of Germany’s cultural institute, promoting the study of the German language abroad, and encouraging international cultural exchange.
