Bruce Mau's Massive Change Exhibition

Toronto designer Bruce Mau has directed an exhibition which starts in Vancouver on October 2nd, and which looks at the positive effects of design worldwide in all kinds of disciplines.

Visitors will enter the exhibition through an orientation gallery and pass through segments on urban design, movement, information, energy, images, markets, materials, military technology, manufacturing and living. The final gallery will sum up global wealth in an installation of silver balloons inflated to different degrees, reflecting relative expenditures on such things as education, health, energy and the environment.
