MoMA: exhibition "Millennium Magazines" on art and design magazines
Magazines afford many artists and designers a good framework for publishing their works without delay. The MoMA is now dedicating a full-fledged show to the medium – it covers countless aspects from publishing to distribution. Entitled "Millennium Magazines", the exhibition will run from February 20 thru May 14 and will present a broad spectrum of international publications dating from 2000 or later – from the mass-circulation trendsetters to the small essentially conceptual editions.

IDD Congress: Method to the madness
Fear of a sheet of white paper or sudden inspiration while under the shower, what designer doesn't know the feeling? But the title "Method to the madness" of the 3rd German Designer Congress suggests instead that creativity can be carefully managed and invites you to help explore the question on March 5 at the Casino Zollverein in Essen. There, product designer Nils Holger Moormann will explain why too much knowledge is not necessarily a source of intelligence and graphic designer Ruedi Baur will outline how many words you need to change the world. Prior registration for the congress is mandatory.

Marta Herford: Recycling concepts
What does waste actually mean? It's well worth giving seemingly worthless things a second chance, as is ably demonstrated by the show for what is now the fifth edition of the Recycling Design Prize 2012, which run at Museum Marta Herford from February 18 thru April 1. Nomination criteria for meaningful recycling product concepts: not just quality design and eco-compatibility, but also items that if possible are mass produced and made by young people or the physically challenged.
