(smow) blog compact: Verner Panton – Visiona 1970. Revisiting the Future at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery

Parallel to the exhibition Konstantin Grcic – Panorama, the Vitra Design Museum is revisiting perhaps the daddy of all explorations of our possible futures, Verner Panton’s 1970 Visiona 2 exhibition.

Lacking a three story Rhine cruiser on which to present the complete exhibition, the Vitra Design Museum are instead presenting a recreation of the fabled Fantasy Landscape installation from Visiona 2 in the Vitra Design Museum gallery.

A recreation which one can enter and so experience with all your senses. Not that we recommend licking it.

In addition “Visiona 1970 Revisiting the Future” at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery presents original plans, sketches, inventories and other documentation to help one fully understand the scale and variety of the original 1970 Cologne exhibition.

Visiona 1970. Revisiting the Future can be viewed at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery, Charles-Eames-Str. 2, 79576 Weil am Rhein, Germany until Sunday June 1st 2014.

Entry is free and full details can be found at www.design-museum.de
