A World We Don't Want Exhibition
26 Original Fakes looks to the uncertified replica in contemporary Australian design practice, opening a conversation about the the issue of copying in both the creative and commercial markets.
26 contemporary Australian designers have reconfigured a replica of the Vitra Hal Wood chair designed by UK based Jasper Morrison. Through their own act of design, 26 cheap knock-offs reattain their value as authentic works – highlighting the centrality of the designer as a protagonist in the design of the products that surround us – and questioning how Australian consumers accept a situation where the creator of a work has their intellectual property stolen.
