'Food chain' is the title of the exhibit by French artist Genevieve Gauckler. Dutch gallery Mu has invited her to show us the many sides and stories of food. According to Genevieve, food is everybody’s concern, whether you like it or not. Food is ambiguous, it is good and bad at the same time. We have a talk with her and walk through 3 months of illustrations created especially for this space.

We have a talk with Mike Meiré at Design Miami 2007, who tells us about his "Farm Project" was created in conjunction with the Dornbracht Edges series.

NAT, designing nature is about the interface where nature and culture, biology and design intertwine. Some call it biomimicry, others next nature or simply ecodesign, but no matter what you call it, it is a fact that for some time now designers from a wide range of disciplines have expressed a keen interest in this specific interface. MU has challenged ten of these designers, all of them with a proven track record in successfully integrating living nature into their work, to develop a new work for NAT.
