Edit request
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
As I say on my user page, I'd like to augment this biography with information from published sources. I thought I'd start easy with a list of the subject's publications, while I get the hang of things. I have sourced the list at the top with the subject's professional website. As I understand from https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_self-published_works, this is "Acceptable: The website for a company to support claims about itself or its employees." I have supplemented this source with sources for individual books at the publisher, a third party.
I suggest this new section:

Edit request
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I work for Jasper and I'm trying to augment this page according to the guidelines. Except where I can find a third-party source such as an exhibition review or museum website, I have sourced these exhibitions using Jasper's company website. As I understand from https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_self-published_works, this is "Acceptable: The website for a company to support claims about itself or its employees." An alternative source could be Jasper's monograph, where they are listed: Morrison, Jasper (2002). Jasper Morrison: Everything but the Walls. Lars Müller. ISBN 9783907078440. OCLC 469426651. If these sources are not satisfactory, I'd be grateful for advice.
I propose this new section:
Selected Exhibitions
- 2019, 'Corks' at Kasmin Gallery, New York, USA[1]
- 2019, ‘Thingness’ at Piknic, Seoul, South Korea[2]
- 2018, ‘Objects & Atmosphere’ at Iittala & Arabia Design Centre, Helsinki, Finland[3]
- 2017, ‘Thingness’ at the Grassi Museum, Leipzig, Germany[4]
- 2017, ‘Thingness’ at the Bauhaus Archive, Berlin, Germany[5]
- 2016, ‘Thingness’ at Tate Modern, London, United Kingdom[6]
- 2016, ‘Thingness’ at Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, Switzerland[7]
- 2015, ‘Thingness’ at Grand-Hornu, Boussu, Belgium[8]
- 2014, ‘Source material’, curated by Jasper Morrison, Jonathan Olivares, Marco Velardi at Kaleidoscope Project Space, Milan, Italy and Vitra Design Museum Gallery[9]
- 2011, ‘Danish Design – I Like It’ Design Museum Danmark, Copenhagen, Denmark[10]
- 2009, ‘Jasper Morrison’ at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Bordeaux, France[11]
- 2006, ‘Super Normal’, curated by Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa at Axis Gallery, Tokyo, Japan[12]
- 2001, ‘Jasper Morrison’ at Yamigawa Centre, Tokyo, Japan[13]
- 1999, ‘Jasper Morrison’, at Axis Gallery, Tokyo, Japan[14]
- 1998, ‘IDYB Exhibition’ at Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Cologne, Germany[15]
- 1994, ‘Jasper Morrison’ at Galerie Binnen, Amsterdam, Netherlands[16]
- 1992, ‘The House of Cappellini’ at Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan, Italy[17]
- 1988, ‘A World Furniture Show’ at Prodomo, Vienna, Austria[18]
- 1988, ‘Some New Items for the Home, Part I’ at DAAD Galerie, Berlin, Germany[19]
- 1987, ‘Reuters News Centre’ at Reuters, Kassel, Germany[20]

[edit]- Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves so long as the article is not based primarily on such sources. The large amount of sourcing to the subject's own website makes the addition of much of these claims not possible. Those which are referenced to reliable secondary sources may be used, and should be included in a new edit request, leaving out those referenced by the subject himself.
- The image of the chair should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. You may use the Commons:Upload Wizard for this.
- Only one

On Spintendo's guidance (thanks Spintendo), I have removed from the list of exhibitions those where the only source I have to hand is Jasper's website and the office's internal records. I've sourced one exhibition (1987) by a monograph which was published by an established publisher. As I understand it, that is acceptable, and it is the only instance where I have used that source.
I believed I had uploaded the image of the chair to Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:APC_designed_by_Jasper_Morrison.jpg Is this not the case? Thanks.

Editor's note 9-JAN-2020
- The changes made to the edit requests above this editor's note have been reverted because they did not make use of the guidelines for altering previous posts found at WP:REDACTED. Those guidelines state that when another editor posts after you, any changes made to the previous posts need to indicate added text with underlined font and removed text with
strikeout font.- Because an edit request was subsequently submitted and then answered after those non-redacted changes were made, that edit request and reply have been moved to the bottom of the page, while the changes made to the requests above were moved to just below this note .

I've noticed the 'citation needed' in the second paragraph. Can I suggest this edit, with references:
He was a student at Kingston Polytechnic from 1979 to 1982, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in design. He studied for a master's in design at the Royal College of Art, London, from 1982 to 1985.[1] In 1984, he studied on a scholarship at the Berlin University of the Arts, formerly the Hochschule für Bildende Künste. In 1986, Morrison opened his Office for Design, in London.[2]
I also request the addition of a paragraph along these lines:
In 2006, Jasper Morrison and the Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa curated the exhibition Super Normal at the Axis Gallery in Tokyo.[3] The exhibition was a 'celebration of normality in design'. It brought together products that Morrison and Fukasawa admired, by known and unknown designers, 'that don't try to grab our attention' as Morrison said. He explained: 'Too many designers try to make their work seem special by making it as noticeable as possible that the historic purpose of conceiving things that are easier to make and better to live with has been side-tracked'. The Super Normal exhibition led to a book of the same name.[4]

- In response to Spintendo's request for clarification, can I suggest the paragraph amended as below. I have deleted reference to the scholarship as I have no information as to its meaning beyond the statements in the publications.
- He was a student at Kingston Polytechnic from 1979 to 1982, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in design.

- Hi @Spintendo:
- I have found this explanation spoken by Jasper and published:
- 'I had a scholarship in Berlin in ’83, ’84 – something called the Shakespeare Scholarship... Hochschule der Künste, HDK was where I studied. The Shakespeare Prize was awarded to an artist by a Hamburg benefactor with a certain amount of money. So David Hockney was awarded that prize in ’83, I think, and he had to choose someone for the Scholarship. He didn’t have any idea who to give it to, and Kasmin said, ‘Why don’t you give it to Jasper?’ And ... so I was shipped off to Berlin. Actually, I could have chosen anywhere, but I chose Berlin. I had a friend who was teaching there, at the HDK, so it was much easier to do it that way. So my middle year of Royal College I spent in Berlin, which was fantastic.'[1]
- 'Kasmin' = https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/John_Kasmin
- David Hockney's holding of the prize is testified here: https://thedavidhockneyfoundation.org/resources/education-awards and here https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Toepfer_Stiftung_F._V._S.
- The latter page explains, in German, that the prize 'was linked to a one-year grant at a German university for a recipient that the award winner selected.' The citation associated to the statement says the same: 'Associated with the Shakespeare Prize was a monthly grant of 920 euros for a young person proposed by the award winner for a one-year course at a German university.' (When Jasper went there were no Euros.) The prize no longer exists apparently. http://www.kulturpreise.de/web/preise_info.php?preisd_id=2343
- Does this provide clarification? Perhaps the statement in question could be revised to: 'In 1984, he was the recipient of a one-year grant to spend at a university in Germany. He chose the Berlin University of the Arts, formerly...' JT at JMLtd (talk) 12:24, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
