imm Living will be hosting Not Forkchops, the first and only event during design week where the attendees will decide the outcome. Not Forkchops encompasses the idea that we live in a country where worlds have collided, cultures of all kinds (not just ethnic based cultures) have merged, borrowing ideas from one, and adapting from another. Not Forkchops will give Canadian artists and designers the opportunity to showcase how the idea of cultural adaptation and adoption has influenced the work they produce, in a way that is elegant, contemporary and unique.
Unlike many other shows, where the attendees are simply there to observe, Not Forkchops will require the active participation of the individuals in attendance. They hold the fate of the designers in their hands. Each designer will be appointed a specific colour sticky note. Voters will get to place their favourite designer’s coloured sticky note on a blank wall, creating a dynamic, ever changing piece within the space. The designer with the most votes will have the opportunity to collaborate with imm Living and work on a project that may see their product(s) sold on a global scale. Not Forkchops will run from January 25, 2012 – January 29, 2012 at The Department. Stop in and place your vote!
