Thomas Heatherwick in Bali

An evening with Thomas Heatherwick

And fundraiser for developing earthquake-proof houses for Lombok

I was invited to the Heatherwick studio one afternoon in London and Thomas showed me things that blew my mind. He showed me a process that is so unusual in the architectural world, where creativity reigns rather than practicality and financial ability. I'd always been aware of his work, but I'd never plugged the name into the man, and the man is wonderful. We've been having a WhatsApp conversation ever since and he's a very special person. He's coming to Bali and to bring his magic into the world of bamboo would be a dream of all dreams. He truly is a creative mastermind of great things.

British Designer Thomas Heatherwick will be visiting Bali this October.

Since founding the Heatherwick Studio in 1994, Thomas Heatherwick has garnered international recognition as one of the most influential and innovative designers worldwide.

He will be giving an evening lecture at Bambu Indah with John Hardy on Friday October 12th. The talk will feature Heatherwick's innovative design work. He will explore his relationship with creativity and how this influences his design process.

The event is also in aid of developing a new sustainable earthquake proof Sasak house project which will be presented during the event. This project is a creative response to aid Lombok's development efforts after the recent earthquake. The event is supported by Bamboo U and IBUKU.

Event opens: 4:30pm
Thomas speaks at: 6:00pm
Dinner: 7:00pm

Price of admission: Rp 450,000, includes dinner by the river at Bambu Indah.

Please email yuni@johnbali.com to RSVP.

Thomas Heatherwick is a British designer whose prolific and varied work over two decades is characterised by its ingenuity, inventiveness and originality. Defying the conventional classification of design disciplines, Thomas founded Heatherwick studio in 1994 to bring the practices of design, architecture and urban planning together in a single workspace.

Thomas leads the design of all Heatherwick Studio projects, working in collaboration with a team of 200 highly-skilled architects, designers, and makers. Thomas' unusual approach applies artistic thinking to the needs of each project, resulting in some of the most acclaimed designs of our time. Based in London, Heatherwick studio is currently working in four continents on projects valued at over £2 billion.

Following the success of the UK Pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010, Heatherwick studio has gone on to win exciting design briefs including the Learning Hub at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, and the new Google Campus in Silicon Valley. Thomas has been appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, a Royal Academician and in 2004 became the youngest Royal Designer for Industry.

Fwd: "HARI BAHAGIA" Pameran Tunggal Hari Prast

HARI BAHAGIA

PAMERAN TUNGGAL HARI PRAST

Hari Bahagia adalah pameran tunggal dari Hari Prast yang akan diadakan di Uma Seminyak dari tanggal 30 September - 25 Oktober 2018. Hari Prast adalah ilustrator dan komikus dari Jakarta yang dikenal dengan gaya ilustrasi ligne clare yang terinspirasi oleh karya-karya Hergé—kreator The Adventures of Tintin. Bekerja sebagai insan kreatif di sebuah agensi periklanan di Jakarta, kecintaannya pada budaya lokal dan pop culture menjadi inspirasi yang kental pada setiap karyanya.

Dalam pameran bertajuk Hari Bahagia ini, Hari Prast menciptakan seluruh karya pada pameran ini dalam semangat berkarya dengan merdeka dan bahagia. Kebebasan berkarya ini diekspresikan dalam upayanya bersenang-senang mengawinkan unsur lokal dan budaya pop yang kemudian diterjemahkan dengan visual lugas dan pesan yang mudah diterima oleh semua kalangan.

Bekerjasama dengan Heartlab Bali, sebagian besar karya dalam pameran ini dipamerkan dalam bentuk cetak cukil untuk menambah sentuhan unik dan spontan, begitu pula dengan pemilihan Uma Seminyak sebagai lokasi pameran tunggalnya yang pertama karena Bali merepresentasikan kebebasan berkreasi dimana berkarya dan bersenang-senang adalah dua hal yang tidak terpisahkan.

September 2018

Pembukaan mulai jam 16.00 wita.
Ditandai dengan sesi Artist Talk bersama Hari Prast & Hanh (HeartLab Bali)
