Designer – Critic – Editor – Commentator
Client: Academy of Fine Arts and Design Bratislava
Location: Bratislava
Time: December 2014
Department of Visual Communication at AFAD approached me with conceptual, curatorial and design solution for its 15th anniversary exhibition. My goal was to introduce the department as a critical platform and community of graphic designers who see the permanent reshaping of the profession and want to critically reflect to it, reflect the social issues and their own design.
I split the exhibition into several parts in which students either directly participated in the selection and reflection of projects from former and current teachers/students of the department, or I exhibited works with a critical potencial that were created at the department in the current period. I exhibited also my own instalations as a member/students in cooperation with MediaLab at our department. One of them named "286 views" was an interactive presentation of answers from several former and current teachers with Leap Motion technology. Second one named "Give comments and critic!" was designed to activate visitors to participate. They could use specially designed touch keyboard and comment the exhibition or exhibited works.
Because the concept of the exhibition was a critical approach, I decided to use research and its content also for promotion purposes (posters, brochure, baners, invitation) - statements of members of the department used for installation "286 views". I visualised them with fonts created at the department during these 15 years of its existence.
I tried to make also the interior unconventional - in one part of exhibition the critical textual reflections of students were installed on the walls instead of design works. These were hanging from the ramp of the lighting system. On the floor there were installed posters with the statements cut from self-adhesive foil.
Exhibition tried to point out the importance of the critical approach - to show the other potential of the space and media and using of content also for its visual promotion.

Plackartnyj is animation studio based in Bratislava, Slovakia. It is artistic platform for stories not only from East Block. The name comes from the sleeping wagon which is travelling in countries of former Soviet Union. First the members of studio needed to design their web stie that would present their very visual portfolio. But I decided and offered them to design their logo, too. It was simply because they didnt have a professional logo and that was not a good start for me. So I proposed them that I will lcreate for them a new logo as a bonus :) Visuality of logo and web site is not visually strong, it is very simple and therefore nto visualy competingwith their visual style. And that was my goal - to present their visuality not mine, to present them not me, to create a simple web, that is clear and functional.
