OPEN CALL / DESIGN LAB / REBECA IHRING: GENESIS, CONNECTED TO DISCONNECTED

Genesis Dielo explores the use of ceramic materials in product design through a creative process based on conceptual and intuitive reflection. Initial inspiration stems from the microscopic spiral motif emerging on the surface of a freshly fertilized egg, a symbol of origin and invisible movement. This motif opens up space for cultural and philosophical questions about the beginning of life, which are then reflected in the texts. […]

OPEN CALL / SCHOOL AREA / PETER POZNÍK: PCAE: VIDEO GAMES AS TOOLS FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN

Ateliér Typolab, VŠVU Bratislava PCAE is a publication that emerged as part of the diploma project The Video Game as Tools for Graphic Design.

OPEN CALL / DESIGN LAB / MONIKA JURÍKOVÁ: DELULUSIONSHIPS

Ateliér Typolab, VŠVU Bratislava is a publication about parasocial relationships. About the one-sided relationships we create towards people (real or fictional) who don’t know that we exist. Whether they are celebrities, influencers, fictional characters, presenters and… me. Monika. And yes, you have (at least) one too (with me, of course). This project began as a deep dive into the world of parasocial relationships […]

OPEN CALL / DESIGN LAB / KATA KNEŽNÍKOVÁ: SERIES OF ORIGINAL FISHING JEWELLERY

Bycatch drift is a series of ”fishing” jewelry inspired by the fragile beauty of marine life and the hidden threat of microplastic pollution. Each piece is woven from delicate, mesh-like structures and recycled materials that evoke fishing nets and ocean currents. Tiny pendants appear in the nets — from a winged flying fish to a distinctive shape of a large squid — symbolizing both wealth and decline […]

GRAND HOTEL | ĽUBOMÍR ONTKÓC: KRATOS

Kratos is the embodiment of divine and demonic power. The mythological helper of Hephaestus, the god of fire and blacksmithing. He symbolizes the authoritative power of formation that uncompromisingly enforces its own rules. Just as Kratos controls his world, I influence the behavior of the rocks and the „nuclei“ of them to submit to my vision. I exploit volcanic rocks that have hardened beneath the Earth’s surface: veins, rills, dioritics, rhyolites… I mine them […]

OPEN CALL / SCHOOL AREA / DUO M. ANNA ZBOŘILOVÁ AND PAVLA PŠENICOVÁ: A POSSIBLE DEFECT

Ateliér sklo, VŠVU Bratislava The project “Potential Flaw” emerged as a joint statement by two authors who have been working in the world of glassmaking for eight years. Over time, their relationship with the material and the process itself have changed. From precise handling of technology, from the desire to have glass under control, they are slowly moving towards a more perceptive and open approach. It is not about creating a […]

OPEN CALL / SCHOOL AREA / BERNADETT NIGHTINGALE: PASTE

Ateliér sklo, VŠVU Bratislava The collection of objects is based on kitchen utensils that transform the preparation of food into a slowed down and conscious ritual. The melted forms with a polished pattern require manual attention, moving the utility from efficiency to an experience. In the process of preparation, bodily gesture becomes an important element, and the food itself becomes the ephemeral result. The aesthetics of the works draws from the craft tradition and […]

GRAND HOTEL | SYLVIA CIULISOVÁ: URBAN FOLK

At last year’s BADW, I succeeded with folk models for formal and festive occasions. This year I moved to the streets and present models that no longer need to wait for a special occasion. Urban Folk is my vision of contemporary, ethnically Slovak clothing, in which there is a clear inspiration from traditional folk clothing, but at the same time it meets all the demands of today’s […]
