You are warmly invited to join us for a drink and a final opportunity to explore the KABK Art & Design Research Practices exhibition which focuses on how research is conducted through and with materials, using the sensory portal of touch. The exhibition features samples and recipes made and shared by KABK students and workshop instructors, curated by Laura van Santen, tutor, BA Interior Architecture & Furniture Design.

To whet your appetite, some words of advice from participating artists and designers:
‘Material breakthroughs require that you put faith in the process of experimentation’.
— Marcos Kueh Sheng Pang, textiles
‘It’s an intense process of listening to the material to find out how to adapt to make the next step. Finding your own specific recipes and techniques brings fulfilment to the process’.
— Chiel Lubbers, biomaterials
