Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam presents Change the System

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen presents the power of change from a new generation of designers with Change the System. The exhibition illustrates the impact that designers have in the solving of large global problems. The exhibition is divided over eight rooms and exhibits the work of over fifty national and international designers and artists. Several designers conduct experiments, continue their research on the spot or create new work. Names such as Eric Klarenbeek, Iris van Herpen, Jólan van der Wiel, Dave Hakkens and Christien Meindertsma are connected to the three current themes scarcity, conflict and plurality.

With Change the System Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen dedicates itself to the resilience of creativity. The museum wants to inspire its visitors to look at social themes through the eyes of creative thinkers. The exhibition shows a current overview of groundbreaking design as well. From young and renowned designers that relate to the theme in an innovative and personal way and dare to work outside the boundaries of their own disciplines. Sometimes through research, sometimes with a very practice approach.
