D&A Lab invited Jonathan Monk to work on the theme "function". He responded almost immediately with the proposal to reinterpret the famous "Bookshelf 1984" by Donald Judd. The shelf was laid flat on the ground and individual elements were completely rearranged into a low table. The interpretation works as an ode to Judd's work, as well as a derivative with references to the designers other work. It is a desacralisation of one emblematic functional piece resulting in a completely different functional object.
D&A Lab is a laboratory that operates on the cross-over between art and functionality, and questions the traditional boundaries between Art and Design. The project Designed by Artists was launched by D&A Lab in 2006, as the brainchild of Dirk Meylaerts and Bruno Rouffaer. Recently they were joined by Isolde Pringiers.
the idea is to approach contemporary artists, and make them imagine and create something that could have a function. The D&A Lab then produces these "relative objects‟ in a limited edtion.
