Kevin Henry is an industrial designer, educator, curator, and writer interested in the intersection between art, technology and culture. He has lectured widely on a variety of topics ranging from sustainability, d.i.y. culture, 21st century curriculum, and the changing relationship of the photographic image in the era of social networking. He has curated five exhibitions: the most recent two on contemporary Chinese design and the social, political, cultural, and economic ramifications of do-it-yourself culture. His book on design visualization for UK publisher Laurence King is due in 2011. He is an associate professor of product design at Columbia College Chicago.

The Meuse-Rhine Euregion is active at the environmental and sustainability level. The local companies are pioneering. We think it is important to show good and valuable examples of companies with sustainable products and services. The exhibition has become a case example of what happens at economical level around environment and ecology. From cleaning products to hybrid cars, they have one thing in common: their sustainable nature.

Location: Ancienne Halle aux Viandes, Rue de la Boucherie 4, 4000 Liège.

Expo: 10th of October until 24th of October, free access, 1pm-6pm (Tue-Sat) ; 10am-3pm (Sun). A visit outside the opening hours can be arranged on request.
