Three contemporary art/design studios, whose works are often inspired by traditional lace imagery, mined the historic lace collection at The Design Center (TDC) for inspiration. These Dutch and Canadian art/design teams were commissioned to create new, site-specific works for installation in the Center's galleries and on its adjoining grounds during the fall and winter of 2009/10. The exhibition will include: a multi-sensory gallery installation featuring furniture, lighting, and laser-cut fabrics by Dutch designer Tord Boontje. A "lace" chain-link fence installation in The Design Center's front yard by the Dutch design studio, Demakersvan and an environmental installation in the enclosed back yard garden area by Canadian artist Cal Lane.
