Exhibition PARIS

Currently showing in Paris, the exhibition 'Archéologie du futur' 

analyses 20 years of contemporary trends as seen through 

the watching eyes of Li Edelkoort.

The Institut Néerlandais on Paris’ Left bank is the setting for an exhibition by Li Edelkoort that explores the trends that have shaped our lives over the last 20 years. Opening in the city the day before design fair Maison & Objet gave an opportunity for its key target of design visitors to experience the exhibition for themselves.
Archéologie du futur is the first exhibition devoted to the identification and analysis of the contemporary trends that have the most influence over our way of life – as seen through the prism of Li Edelkoort; the icon of trend forecasting. The aim of the exhibition is to show that trends are not passing fads, but long-term phenomena; each one shaping aspects of our lives, from the food we eat through to the colour of our clothes. A wide range of images and audiovisuals from the Edelkoort archives illustrate the fourteen trends chosen; key movements in lifestyle between the years 1990 to 2010.

These fourteen trends are juxtaposed in seven sections: Body/ Soul, Global/ Local, Flora/ Fauna, Urban/ Rural, Armour/ Amour, Abstraction/ Narration and Nihilism/ Hedonism.
To pick two at random - Abstraction/Narration; as with the rest, these trends are arranged chronologically, with Abstraction timed at 1991 onwards, but Narration five years later, from 1996 onwards. The Global trend from 1989 explain how the seeds of the hippie years of the 60s and 70s have blossomed into a trend for Bohemian luxury – all the riches of the silk route have found their way into our homes, as carpets, chairs, accessories, perfumes and food. Opposing Global is the trend for Local, from 1995 onwards, where increasing globalization in retail has led the consumer to want to become a ‘Sunday artisan’ and create things for him/herself. Regional and seasonal foods flowers and crafts regain their importance.
The exhibition also includes a trend studio installation that demystifies the process that surrounds Edelkoort’s work and explains the sociology behind trend forecasting and shows how powerful colours can be. During the exhibition, Li Edelkoort will present an interactive trend workshop with members of the public, helping to underline just how much trends influence us today.
Li Edelkoort started trend forecasting in Paris as early as 1975, working to create innovative trend forums for influential Paris textile fair Première Vision, as well as creating the Trend Union trend studio and publishing the influential magazines View on Colour and Bloom.

Archéologie du futur
20 ans de tendances vues par Li Edelkoort

20 Jahre Trends von Li Edelkoort

Institut Néerlandais, Paris
22. Januar 09 bis 8. März

Archäologie der Zukunft : die Trendforscherin Li Edlekoort sagt uns seit nunmehr 20 Jahren 

wo es ihrer Meinung nach lang geht - und die Zeit scheint ihr Recht zu geben. 

Diese erste Retrospektive verdeutlicht uns das die voraus gefühlten Trends 

keine isolierten an und für sich existenten Launen sind sondern durchaus 

langfristig unser aller Leben überformen.

Gezeigt werden Design-Items (u.a. Piet Hein Eek, Hella Jongerius, Studio Job...), 

Mode, Fotografien aus aller Herren Länder sowie audiovisuelles Material aus dem 

Fundus von Li Edelkoort.




Photo: Imke Klee

Li Edelkoort gilt als die Trendforscherin, in 2003 wurde sie vom TIME Magazin als eine 

der 25 einflussreichsten Personen in der Mode genannt, in 2008 erhielt sie die 

"Médaille de Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres" vom französischen Kultur-Ministerium. 

Ihre Magazine "View on Colour" und "Bloom", sowie ihre Trendhefte für Trend Union 

finden international Beachtung, ebenso wie ihr Wirken an der 

Design Academy Eindhoven und im Designhuis.

Das Pariser L'Institut Néerlandais wurde 1957 gegründet und ist eines der ältesten 

ausländischen Kulturzentren. Es organisiert diverse kulturelle Veranstaltungen, 

darunter Ausstellungen, Konzerte, Filmvorführungen, Kolloquien. Außerdem besuchen 

immerhin gut 500 sprachbegeisterte Franzosen die Niederländisch-Kurse der Institution.

Il s'agit d'une exposition d'envergure consacrée à l'identification et à l'analyse des tendances contemporaines 

vues à travers le prisme de Li Edelkoort, icône internationale des tendances. Cette première rétrospective 

consacrée à son oeuvre démontre que les tendances ne sont pas des engouements passagers, 

mais au contraire des phénomènes à long terme qui façonnent chacun des aspects de nos vies. 

Une grande sélection d'objets de deisgn, de mode et de photographies provenant du monde entier 

ainsi qu'une foison d'images et d'autres matériaux audiovisuels des archives d'Edelkoort sont exposés.
