It is the first solo exhibition in Province of Quebec devoted to the designer J\u00e9r\u00e9my Couture.<\/p>\n<p>Brought to life by a \u2018less but better\u2019 thinking, the 12 chairs are given examples of how our materialistic culture can create more meaningfully. Meaningfulness leads us on a journey where sustainability translates into multiple forms, from objects created with greener materials to others that provide enriching experiences. A more meaningful materialistic culture means rethinking production methods that are obviously obsolete in our modern consumption model. It also means finding new creativity enablers that embrace people and their relationships towards their global environment.<br \/>\nIn a time where sustainability is more than ever solely the green paradigm of recycling, it is imperative to acknowledge the primary humanistic values that lead to a person\u2019s well-being rather than to focus on a purely superficial materialistic avenue. Sustainability must be used as a way to enrich a materialistic culture that can\u2019t find meaning in objects anymore.<\/p>\n<p>One way to create meaningfully is by exploring values that support the engagement with the materialistic culture. Those values bring the possibility for meaning to emerge through relationships between objects and people. These values can be identified as mystery, environmental consciousness, nature embracement, caring, fiction, poetry, etc. By their interactions with one another, they will form the core of materiality, playing a supporting role along with functionality and aesthetics in the relationship and life between objects and people.<\/p>\n<p>Because all theories need to be confronted to reality, the chairs individually illustrate several of those values.<br \/>\nThese chairs are: Carry, Dream, Feed, Fly, Give back, Grow, Light, Slide, Type, Vanish, Warm up and Write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From August 6 to August 29, MATERIA presents Les 12 chaises etc., the first solo exhibition in Quebec dedicated to designer J\u00e9r\u00e9my Couture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11346,"featured_media":2107,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2337"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10047,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337\/revisions\/10047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
