On November 10, 'The Secret Life of Materials', an international group exhibition on the fantasy of materials, opened at the Pennings Foundation in Eindhoven. An important part of the exhibition work has been carried out in the Imagestorm / Daylight workshops and is being presented for the first time.
How do artists treat their material? Do they know how to contain the material? Does the material want to obey? The search for the right material, surprises during the production process, the work of art itself, restoration and conservation are highlighted in this international group exhibition.

Carlo Lorenzetti (b. 1990 Chicago, IL) is a designer from Michigan, USA. His formative training in pottery was the basis for his undergraduate studies. He graduated from the University of Michigan School of Art & Design with a B.A in Fine Arts, in 2012. He studied ceramics and furniture design and focused his research on the relationship between digital fabrication with traditional craft techniques.
In 2015 he received an M.A from the Contextual Design department at Design Academy Eindhoven, where his research focused on themes of the subconscious. His focus shifted away from hybrid fabrication methods to user experience. His craft background was foundational in his exploration of domestic and primal archetypes. He looked at human behavior, researching themes of the subconscious mind and psychoanalysis, relating them to his design objects. Vessels and containers offer a physical and symbolic platform. He currently lives and works in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
