Artemio Rivera (Product Design) found a new vocation
at the Internationale Designzentrum Berlin in Mitte: He
now intends to steer his education in directions that will
enable him to become an advocate for sustainable design.
Somewhat more practice-orientated, but not far
from Artemio’s passion, was Shelly Ni’s internship in
Cologne with Feuerwear, where they successfully recycle
fire hoses and other industrial materials to produce
handbags and related articles. Shelly’s bag will be produced
in 2010 as will Rebecca del Monte’s bag at Olbrish
b, our long-time host in Berlin-Kreuzberg. This is
great news, not only from the standpoint of fashion but
also for these interns – not all internships culminate in
a finished product.
In October, with the reconstruction of the Altes Museum,
restoration of the Berliner Museumsinsel was
completed. The Pergamonmuseum, where we had two
interns in the 1990s, is part of this complex as well. However,
the island collections, including the Museum für
Islamische Kunst where Daniel Smith became our first
intern this year, will undergo further changes. I invite
you to read his report at the end of this edition.
