AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

from LA Culture Net

“It's far too ugly for me to die here!,“
(-noted industrial designer Michael Graves when asked about hospitals)

The ugliness that prompted Graves’ outburst included the devices he came across because of his new disability. The Opulent Mobility exhibit is an opportunity to change that.

Wheelchairs, walkers, prosthetics, crutches and other assistive technology devices are part of our lives. But in the grand scheme of design innovations, they’ve been left in the dust. There are hundreds of thousands of designs for glasses, chairs, and tech of every other kind.

Now is your chance to help change the conversation about assistive technology of the future.

Opulent Mobility wants your Art and Inventions! Please submit your art, designs and inventions dealing with mobility, disability and accessibility.

Opulent Mobility will open September 12th, 2015 at Cal State Northridge’s West Gallery.
