The Centre d’innovation et de design in Hornu, Belgium, presents the first comprehensive overview of Aldo Bakker's oeuvre, showing the stages of his laborious work process.
The exhibition “Aldo Bakker. PAUSE” at the CID presents the first comprehensive overview of his oeuvre. Curated by Aldo Bakker himself, the exhibition stages the public encounter between the intriguing outcomes of his unique and laborious work process.
Different from most other designers, Aldo Bakker rarely starts a design from the desire to solve a practical problem. In fact, though Bakker may unmistakably be a designer, his interest in functionality only comes in at the latest stage. His objects nearly always originate from the fascination for a form – be it the guardrail of a motorway, the curve of a stairwell, or the facade of a Seventeenth Century Amsterdam canal house. Bakker looks, sketches, and draws and in this way he researches whether a form can be transformed into an object – or rather, an image.
