Revolving Museum
Boston, MA, USA United States of America

The Revolving Museum presents Jean-Pierre Leguillou and Megan Hurst exhibiting twisted design prototypes, along with 23 other artists and designers. The exhibit challenges consumers to consider design beyond its obvious functional and aesthetic roles.

The 25 participants in this experiment have designed pieces that run the gamut from horrifying to delightful, including products, furniture, apparel, architecture, and graphics. Wallpaper magazines August issue mentioned the exhibits Suicider euthanasia drink and the Unisextoy as favorite prototypes.

The exhibit was created by release1, an organization that provides a forum for design exploration sheltered from traditional market forces.
