“Designing the air” reviews the history of the Valencian fan through a journey that goes from tradition to contemporaneity. The fan, as a traditional piece in the Valencian objectual memory, is reinvented through the eyes of twenty international artists: Ángel Blay Villa, Antonio Serrano, Arnau & Reyna, Carlos Tíscar, Eli Gutiérrez, Inma Bermúdez, Luisa Bocchietto, María Arroyo, Nani Marquina, Nieves Contreras, Pepe Gimeno, Ramón Úbeda and Pepa Reverter, Ricard Ferrer, Sohei Arao & Sumiko Arao, Terence Woodgate, Vicent Martínez and Yukari Taki.
The result of this work is now embodied in a complete 180-page catalog where you can view each of the pieces, with texts by their creators and the history of the fan.
The catalog will be presented on September 28 at Àgora València from 18:00h and the event will be attended by Vicent Martínez, Marisa Gallén, Francesc Martínez and Empar Folgado and will be accompanied by two round tables on the conjunction of design and craftsmanship with Ramón Arnau, Yukari Taki, Àngel Blay, Juan Martínez, Rafa Martínez, Vicente Pla and Xavier Giner, who have participated with articles in the catalog.
In the framework of World Design Capital Valencia 2022, with the impulse of the Diputació de València and València Turisme, and with the designer Vicent Martínez as curator and editor, this exhibition aims to review the history of the Valencian fan projecting the future of the sector through the strategic combination between craftsmanship and design.
