Pure Gold. Upcycled! Upgraded! - Museu del Disseny (DHUB)Exhibitions
04/25/2024 - 06/16/2024

Upcycling has long ceased to be a fad and has become a statement of intent. The exhibition Pure Gold. Upcycled! Upgraded!, organized by ifa (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen) in conjunction with the Goethe-Institut and with the support of Disseny Hub (the Design Museum of Barcelona), explores the reuse of waste and its transformation into design objects through artistic processes. The exhibition features a selection of pieces curated by the exhibition commissioner Voker Albus and works from the collections of the Design Museum of Barcelona, along with contributions from around the world. It reflects how upcycling adds value when creating new objects.  The exhibition is complemented by a virtual platform and local workshops, emphasizing the project's cornerstones: ethics, responsibility, internationalization and co-creation.
