Here is an extract from an interview between Marc Benda and TL Magazine about dna10:

“Our first goal is to show how the gallery operates, why we’re relevant, and what we bring to the art world by presenting design. Considering the scope of what we’ve exhibited in the past, such a task is not as straightforward as it may seem.”

” It’s a slightly confusing show in the making. Still, reconciling the different creative identities, backgrounds, directions, chosen processes, aesthetics and forms, the resulting image will be Friedman Benda‘s vision of design, forged over a 10-year period.”
