z33 is an art centre in hassalt, belgium which recently opened an exhibition entitled
‘1% water and our future’, which will run until september 28th. the show is curated by
ilse crawford and jane withers and examines our relationship to water through the eyes
of artists and designers. 1% is the amount of potable water on the earth and in an age
of resource scarcity and other environmental concerns, this figure takes on added
significance. in addition to a full exhibition featuring numerous works by well-known
designers and artists, a number of side events are also planned. one of the tertiary
programmes is a project focusing on the significance of public swimming pools and
cinemas by designer jon stam.
