On September 6, the Center for Visual Arts of the Metropolitan State College of Denver, kicked off its month-long exhibit, Substance: Diverse Practices from the Periphery,” which featured DtM’s Kinkajou Microfilm Project. According to the Center for Visual Arts, “this exhibit is an international exhibition that highlights the contributions of over 30 contemporary industrial, graphic, architectural, environmental and media design innovators who are making a profound contribution to the field of design. In a consumer culture so oriented towards design today, the exhibition places specific emphasis on projects that focus on the needs of under served people, places and problems.”

Exhibition curator Lisa M. Abendroth, Associate Professor and Communication Design Coordinator at Metropolitan State College of Denver, has brought together a critical collection of timely work engaging national and international audiences and participants. Featured projects include Architecture for Humanity’s Biloxi Model Home Program; AeroVironment’s Architectural Wind Turbine; contributions by Continuum and Fuse Project for Nicolas Negroponte’s One Laptop per Child project; Design Corps’ Farmworker Housing Program; the Kinkajou Projector by Design That Matters; Electroland Studio’s Urban Nomad Shelter; Imvubu Projects’ Hippo Water Roller; Potters for Peace Ceramic Water Filter; and celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the completion of the Empathic Elder Model Research is the work of Patricia Moore of MooreDesign Associates.
