Other Design District Events:
We don’t know what “performative” means in the Design Miami/ press release, but there will be design-y performances at the Loft Building, 3627 NE First Avenue, and the Chatham Building, 155 NE 40th Street, in the Design District. Those will include a porcelain ice cream cone (and possibly real ice cream), some kind of arty happening by someone called Wieki Somers, a pop-up tattoo parlor, three Dutch designers gluing paper together, participatory “felting,” someone splitting wood, something called photobooth seating and a hypnotist who will help a designer come up with new ideas. At the Oak Plaze, there will be glass making in action, starring designs by the Campana Brothers, Constantin Boym and Sigga Heimis. We’re feeling so old, but we’re so there. And these events will happen all over again on Saturday and Sunday. Public. (What is the charge for the tattoos? Anyone?)
