Exhibitions
Objectives:
To revive the European traditional knowhow and intangible cultural heritage with contemporary design products
To increase the competitiveness and the economic potential of young design professionals with innovative promotion methods
To involve and engage new audiences to become consumers of art and culture
To disseminate more environment-friendly and low-emission practices in applied art sectors
To enhance transnational circulation of European artworks
We would like to organize a travelling contemporary design exhibition which is based on the methods and technique of traditional European handicrafts. The exhibition gives an excellent opportunity to study the effects of traditional knowledge on present-day design and applied arts. First, we will launch a call for proposals about the exhibition and the related competition. We are waiting for such works of contemporary design and applied artworks which creatively reflect or rethink the European traditional craft know-how. The type of the artworks can be varied, like industrial design, media and animation, (landscape) architecture, metallurgy, ceramics, textile and fashion, jewelry, product design, glass, digital art, etc. We will collect the selected works of arts and they start travelling in the partner countries (5 locations in 4 countries).
