The 8th annual Budapest Design Week kicks tomorrow and I will be there giving regular coverage of the various exciting events which are scheduled to take place.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Opening BDW is Couleur Locale – The Colours of Europe in Object, an exhibition curated by Viktória Szépvölgyi and Rita Mária Halai and held at the Design Terminal. The show presents a series of contemporary design objects chosen from just under 30 countries which question “whether it makes sense to talk about national character in a globalised world.”<br />
<br />
I am really pleased to see that the Open Studios will continue to run this year. Anna Zaboeva from Siberia shoe shop and the award-winning Graphic Design agency Stalker Studio are amongst the 14 design studios and workshops who will be opening their doors to the public for this year’s event. Although I never managed to pop along to any of the open studios last year I hope I’ll manage to squeeze in at least one visit during the jam-packed schedule!<br />
<br />
This year’s guest of honour, Poland – currently holding the presidency in the Council of the EU – have been doing the rounds at various design weeks and will be bringing a new and bigger version of their UnPolished exhibition to Budapest’s Museum of Applied Arts. In fact, a whole host of Polish programmes have been organised in the Museum throughout the week: Natasha Pavluchenko will showcase her award-winning Urban fusion collection and a panel of influential Polish designers including Agnieszka Jacobson-Cielecka will hold an open presentation to discuss the past, present and future of Polish design.<br />
<br />
Budapest Design Week 2011 runs from 30th September – 9th October. <br />

Those rather scuffed looking shoes are mine as I stood on the central podium placed between the two screens displaying the latest experimented film directed by Sugár János currently on display in the Videospace Galéria.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The piece is a two-channel video installation entitled 'Kairos vs. Expeditus' in which two narratives are screened simultaneously on opposite walls of the gallery. The viewer must place themselves in the center of the room on a small wooden podium and choose which projection they should watch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrSAyjZ1czgSAyjqPf_isIjXyYwXO-Q3-MUl5WwyFXs0P10MNnQ_S7pNjAHfGty_XQYT6ibKgZq3i6mgkY6CWGG8okhqNlV4cYx3nQU9dy1bp2gxJg8q5m9xhDUKz4zXUz0vKhmNtrw8/s1600/sugar+janos+-+the+situation+-+videospace+-+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrSAyjZ1czgSAyjqPf_isIjXyYwXO-Q3-MUl5WwyFXs0P10MNnQ_S7pNjAHfGty_XQYT6ibKgZq3i6mgkY6CWGG8okhqNlV4cYx3nQU9dy1bp2gxJg8q5m9xhDUKz4zXUz0vKhmNtrw8/s640/sugar+janos+-+the+situation+-+videospace+-+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
On one screen we see a man struggling with an impossibly long coil of wire, whilst on the other screen there is an airport scene depicting an automatic door which never seems to open. There is a mixed feeling of urgency and frustration as you watch the films, twisting your head from side to side trying to decide which side is more important, all the while urging the two narratives to reach a conclusion.<br />
<br />
In addition to this piece, another film is played in the gallery window depicting a daring escape from a subway train carriage accompanied by a scrolling quotation by Donald Rumsfeld given in the wake of 9/11.<br />

I dashed into the Szatyor Gallery last week to have a quick look around the brand new Lomo/Film/Mozi photography exhibition. The show features the work of the finalists from the gallery's recent lomo photography competition based around the the topic of lomography and cinema. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The best works were selected by a panel of judges comprising of photographer Tamás Dobos, Andrea Éva tóth and creative director of Artificial Group Attila Haberlund.<br />
<br />
The pieces on show all reference, in some way, the methods used in cinematography from editing techniques to transitions and other special effects.<br />
<br />

<br />

<a name='more'></a>The images created by the creative duo seek to question mainstream society's single-minded view of what classifies masculine and feminine. The models in the paintings and photographs can at first glance be coded as male or female but at closer inspection, details will reveal themselves - a bit of stubble, long eye-lashes, a strong jaw-line - which will make the viewer second guess themselves. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Igor and Ivan Baharov</b> explored the exhibition's theme by producing a super8 film entitled Rudderless, inspired by István Domonkos' 1971 poem of the same name. The poem's stanzas focus on the role of minorities and immigrants in contemporary society, which Igor and Ivan then translate into an eerie and noir-ish short film full of surrealist imagery.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Mikyta Svätopluk</b> created large installation full of historical images from the 20th century which he collages together and manipulates with analogue techniques. The resulting pieces blend together political iconography and kitsch, vintage images accompanied by Socialist and other Eastern-European nationalist symbols.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

There's been a lot of hype around this exhibition so I thought I would pop in to find out what all the fuss was about!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
In order to really understand why this exhibition holds any cultural significance, I needed to do a little background research. I soon discovered (after minutes of trawling through google results) that Bizottság were a collective of artists from Szentendre who formed a band together and achieved cult status in the 1980's.<br />
<br />
Now, the music they produced is highly questionable and certainly not to my taste - but then again I've spent the whole summer listening to RuPaul, Sweet Vacation and Britney Spears so who am I to make any comments on taste? However, the art which the key members produced during the height of their notoriety was what really gained my interest. Intrigued by the comparisons to 'The Factory', I felt compelled to see the exhibition for myself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhibOowxDUxKwDQ66d7ZBk9u1EYVuBKCxwdlwv7w-lqCEOIZDHD-mIxWje-uDZpJipBmO7i9m4foUY_ng9crhWHQhELvf2r6QNGwkLE4phIo2Bn-goR_A7sQX_UqQdBFhvNIjMIvqqDNo/s1600/DSC_0089.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhibOowxDUxKwDQ66d7ZBk9u1EYVuBKCxwdlwv7w-lqCEOIZDHD-mIxWje-uDZpJipBmO7i9m4foUY_ng9crhWHQhELvf2r6QNGwkLE4phIo2Bn-goR_A7sQX_UqQdBFhvNIjMIvqqDNo/s640/DSC_0089.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The exhibition opens with an imposing black and white photographic image the size of the entire wall which towers high above the viewer, the floor covered in grass (possibly real, I didn't touch it) and a strange Hindu-esque alter in the center of the room. You are then lead into another room with an incredible installation which represents the bitter rivalry between the state owned record producing companies and the underground 'indie' labels which was prevalent during late Soviet-era Hungary. Made up from what seemed like hundreds of 12" vinyl record covers, the installation acted as an amazing comparison piece. On the outside are the naff (but 80's tastic) covers which the state owned recording companies were producing, whilst on the inside you find some inspiring, raw and punky designs created for the underground club scene lining the floor.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFVCsTNQZsCZucMfTM0YOmeuQfGuCexSqtqWjdx7ReqvJfZconJFe9Sx2-rn14Ymaa-GA5mT6IGbNP9VuuWGGAaK9Csme2ML257sQVuyFLgdkiXzoQRtKOfl7hYUTuEctDd965udpe8N0/s1600/DSC_0111v2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFVCsTNQZsCZucMfTM0YOmeuQfGuCexSqtqWjdx7ReqvJfZconJFe9Sx2-rn14Ymaa-GA5mT6IGbNP9VuuWGGAaK9Csme2ML257sQVuyFLgdkiXzoQRtKOfl7hYUTuEctDd965udpe8N0/s640/DSC_0111v2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
This installation sets the tone, if you like, for the sort of cultural environment in which Bizottság rose to fame. The state produced entertainment clearly was pretty shoddy and strictly controlled, therefore it is no wonder that a band who stood up and 'ignored the external pressure' in order to create the sounds and visuals they wanted became so popular.<br />
<br />
The rest of the exhibition focuses on the work which Bizottág's key members Zámbó István, László Lugossy and András Wahorn (plus a couple of other artists such as the incredible András Böröcs) created before, during and after the band's peak. The amount of work on show is pretty overwhelming so I would recommend you set aside a good few hours if you want to thoroughly take in all which this exhibition has to offer.<br />

After a long, art deprived August, the creative season kicks off again in Budapest. Last night I went for a much needed fix of graphic design at the opening of the brand-new Forrai Ferenc exhibition at <span class="fsm">Műhely.</span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The <span class="fsm">Műhely a petite new cafe and gallery which has just opened in </span>Fő <span class="fsm">utca in Buda, which is just a stones throw away from </span><span dir="ltr" id="place-title">Batthyány tér</span><span class="fsm">. The opening night saw friends and family of the owners as well as a handful of graphic design (and wine) enthusiasts cram into the cosy venue to view the latest work of designer Forrai Ferenc.</span><br />
<span class="fsm"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="fsm">For the exhibition, Forrai has produced a series of wine bottle labels featuring some clever visual puns and bold graphic identities including some Bauhaus inspired Pinot Noir, a Bikavér bull made from drops of blood and some amusing 'front' and 'back' bottles featuring an abstract depiction of the naked female form.</span><br />

Human beings are fiercely territorial creatures. I witness this first hand on the trams of Budapest every morning during my journey to work. The commuters of Hungary feel a certain inclination to not only find a seat on the tram, but to ensure that no one else can sit within a 4 foot radius of them. The most common tactic: place your bag on one seat, another on the opposite seat then sit with your back to the window and your legs stretching into the aisle. Try and sit down next to them and you’ll find yourself awkwardly trying to clamber over their legs as they refuse to budge even an inch. These regular turf wars on the public transport system are hilarious to watch but are a severe pain- especially before I’ve had my morning coffee.<br />

It is through everyday observations of ordinary people claiming public areas as their own which inspired Territorial Pissings, the latest project by Dutch creative group KOP. Each week, one of seven different international artists created an ‘Urban Intervention’ in one of the many green public spaces located in Breda, Netherlands. The aim was to see how passers-by and users of these public spaces would react to the sudden change in their environment.<br />

British artist <a href="http://crosshatchling.co.uk/" target="_blank">Anna Garforth</a> was one of the many creatives involved in the project. Claiming a children’s playground as her territory, she created a giant typographic piece on the fence surrounding the area using coloured tape. Watch the video at the top of the page to see how it was made.<br />
Also taking part was <a href="http://spy.org.es/about.php" target="_blank">SpY</a> (Spain’s answer to Banksy) who secretly spray-painted new lines onto a football field, disorienting the players and <a href="http://www.harmendehoop.com/" target="_blank">Harmen de Hoop</a> who staged the reburial of a Bronze Age skeleton.<br />

Unfortunately the turn out in Budapest was not as high as expected but the quality of images provided by those who did participate was exceptionally high. Beautiful landscapes and intimate portraits sat side by side on the glass ‘gallery’ wall at the centrally located Gödör Club. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Standing at over 2m tall, these colossal images are the newest pieces in the show. However, those of you who are familiar with Schauwecker's work will no doubt recognise that he is exploring the same themes and aesthetics which he has explored throughout his career.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_zlmO3QVhPy7FAyB3npA9WGV1RguOHie4eKwWyg_cz7wxpmJRkbRl21dgFJqsVpwDaw6KOus7Uax8WL1J3x3uZw7aimQFelhaw_3C5Dxd4a8GIpOYMV09JXGpXjkHzloBv1q__03NSEk/s1600/Mathias+Schauwecker-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_zlmO3QVhPy7FAyB3npA9WGV1RguOHie4eKwWyg_cz7wxpmJRkbRl21dgFJqsVpwDaw6KOus7Uax8WL1J3x3uZw7aimQFelhaw_3C5Dxd4a8GIpOYMV09JXGpXjkHzloBv1q__03NSEk/s640/Mathias+Schauwecker-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The work of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan (amongst others) has had a strong influence over Schauwecker as he subverts and distorts our perceptions of the 'human being'. Each individual drawing is like a series of expert studies of human anatomy amalgamated into one single form. The result? Deformed, writhing, contorted limbs which wouldn't look out of place in a <span style="font-size: small;"><span class="SpellE" id="zp77557">Jeroen</span> Bosch painting or as a creature from the Silent Hill video game series. </span> <br />

In addition to the large-scale series of drawings, Schauwecker presents a selection of paintings from his Sleepwalkers series. These highly expressive paintings portray scenes of hybrid monsters caught somewhere between reality and dreams, like a nightmare which is clawing its way out of the artist's sub-conscious.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDzrCdNvXFrPt3PU2QXE3on5lmCYmrXvaAiVzLBgy7yJatVFfOpRZCrMe97hmOccz1dvKwd4NuTrKRbntHOFUAAMwpNrc7AHKBKdQWEK8BaCUOcIdfptC3AHN5LacNL7g9dMJohMpQSE/s1600/Mathias+Schauwecker-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDzrCdNvXFrPt3PU2QXE3on5lmCYmrXvaAiVzLBgy7yJatVFfOpRZCrMe97hmOccz1dvKwd4NuTrKRbntHOFUAAMwpNrc7AHKBKdQWEK8BaCUOcIdfptC3AHN5LacNL7g9dMJohMpQSE/s640/Mathias+Schauwecker-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Schauwecker continues the theme of dreams - particuarly nightmares - in an animated film which features a simple animated line drawing mapping out the events unfolding within the unconscious mind. Terrifying creatures with sharp, lethal looking fangs twist and spiral around the screen in a continual loop.<br />

The team mixed together various textiles and tailoring techniques from various regions of Hungary along with more contemporary construction methods. First prize went to <b>Renáta Gyöngyösi</b> who married the traditional costume of the Transdanubian Region with punk rock. The collection took several cues from contemporary pop culture and high street trends, with several of the garments embellished with studs and spikes. The public prize went to <b>Rita Gallatz</b> who drew inspiration from the embroidering techniques of artisans from Kalotaszeg, magnifying the ornate details and turning them into large pieces of costume jewellery.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixKaCtspWqG7E-1hhk4N3Xfpy0T3Q8x-dN-ZJ9QiBvfsZMVGVUgiiwDsUJwxnULpVoG2TbOMAeTbeWakFOPZIEnF-w_qvOWCZHcmx_Hhuw014we7GmJc7JJce3FzW0ccL4k6Lk3KmbSXw/s1600/rethink-rebutton-2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixKaCtspWqG7E-1hhk4N3Xfpy0T3Q8x-dN-ZJ9QiBvfsZMVGVUgiiwDsUJwxnULpVoG2TbOMAeTbeWakFOPZIEnF-w_qvOWCZHcmx_Hhuw014we7GmJc7JJce3FzW0ccL4k6Lk3KmbSXw/s640/rethink-rebutton-2011.jpg" width="640" /></a>Several of the designers experimented with eye-catching prints. <b>Judit Eszter Kárpáti</b> started with Matyó embroidery patterns and digitally pixilated them, turning the natural form of the flowers into geometric shapes. <b>Judit Pusztai's</b> colour-minimal collection of streetwear featured fun prints resembling Busó masks and wooden carvings of shepherds. <b>Ilona Karácsony</b> drew inspiration from patterns created in the Mezőkövesd region of Hungary.<br />

Also drawing inspiration from Hungarian wood-carvings was <b>Mónika Kovács</b>, who hand knitted and hand-printed her mini collection. <b>Ilona Hendzsel</b> and <b>Mónika Nagy</b> collaborated together to create a sweet collection of accessories titled Little Bird, Little Bird - inspired by Easter eggs and ginger bread biscuits felted together into necklaces and handbags. <a href="http://oneadaydesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/budapest-essential-looks-artista.html"><b>Artista</b></a> showed off a piece from their incredibly elegant collection titled Next Spring..(a sneaky peek at things to come hopefully!). The garment makes use of light-weight fabrics cut into contemporary patterns and printed with images of traditional Hungarian costume, marrying the past and present together in one piece.<br />

<b>Dresscode's</b> garment was a golden explosion of netting, plastic and metallic textiles which resembled a pantomime Dame. Second Prize winner <b>Szilárd Surányi</b> incorporated heavy pleating and ruffles into his design. His coloured patterns are split up by strips of white which makes it appear more sophisticated and less costumey.<br />

<span id="goog_99474974">Organisers from the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts invited twenty-five artists from several EU member countries to participate - each one displaying a brand-new or existing piece of work on the 20,000 square metre artificial lake. The exhibition also allows the broader public to experience and appreciate contemporary art in the open air. One of my favourite pieces was <b>Waiting</b> (pictured above) by Slovakian artist</span><span id="goog_99474974"> Erik Binder. The piece, which includes a park bench and a street light which appear to be floating on the surface of the lake supposedly challenges our expectations of reality and our perceptions of an objects functionality. </span><br />

<span id="goog_99474974">Representing Hungary was Balázs Kicsiny and his sculpture <b>Late Departure, Early Arrival</b>. The piece is consistent with many of his previous works and continues the narrative of his 2010 installation <a href="http://oneadaydesign.blogspot.com/2010/11/budapest-art-fair-janos-gat-gallery.html">Temporary Resurrection</a>. Featuring the same helmet-wearing figures as before, this time Balázs places them - still eating their dinner - inside a 'four headed' vehicle. </span>"The aim is to condense the contradictions of experiencing space and time into a visual paradox. When we set off from home, we can never be sure if we will return in the same time and space as the one we departed in, just as those who stayed at home cannot be sure that it is the same people returning home who they said goodbye to earlier. The people who stayed at home are personified by the four figures in the welded-together vehicle waiting for supper, and the people returning home are the viewers who wish to interpret the work, who are excluded from the work, from the space of the nonexistent home.” (artonlake.hu)<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I love cartoons so much you cannot even imagine! A perfect day for me is sitting on the couch, eating nothing but peanut butter covered bagels and watching Cartoon Network from 9am to 11pm. Sure, I could watch the news or I could watch something more 'informative', but why make myself depressed by current events when I can tune in to see Billy and Mandy torturing their best friend the Grim Reaper or watch Ben 10 save the world from aliens?</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I'm just a big kid at heart really. So imagine my elation when I discovered that the Barbican are opening the most comprehensive collection of animation to ever be exhibited in the UK. <b>Watch Me Move: The Animation Show</b> will showcase the full range of animated imagery which has been produced within the last 150 years. Opening on the 15<sup>th</sup> of June, the exhibition will feature the work of such legendary animators such as Walt Disney, Pixar and Aardman.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

<a name='more'></a><b>Just take a look at the insanely over-the-top work of University of East London's Eliesha George or London College of Fashion graduates Kana Tojo and Yashin Kim for example. You cannot deny that these designers know how to put on a show - and you cannot deny the overwhelming excitement which courses through your body as you see these incredible garments come down the runway. This is what I felt was missing while I was watching the Modart 2011 graduate show on Saturday.</b><br />
Modart perpetuates a certain standard of functionality and wearability which is instilled in the the students. They produce collections which are commercial and accessible and you could really see the pieces integrating perfectly into any woman's wardrobe. But, I just didn't feel like the envelope was being pushed far enough. I think that when it comes to a graduate fashion show, you really shouldn't play it safe. At this time, every year, a sea of graduates emerge from education and you really need to do all you can to stand out high above the rest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkfboZ3jdznsEHxTjSw8mDsqjgmFzs82Zm5NKD5Um4Wgj92h5JQVMksNTwFZrU_XinLtfWprBYyxyvzd36suL0gIg_t8ze_uCOSFbZucTbbXG5I0eAS6LPmbpwDi4Z8Awg16h3DKoqRsQ/s1600/ModArt-diploma-fashion+show-2011-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkfboZ3jdznsEHxTjSw8mDsqjgmFzs82Zm5NKD5Um4Wgj92h5JQVMksNTwFZrU_XinLtfWprBYyxyvzd36suL0gIg_t8ze_uCOSFbZucTbbXG5I0eAS6LPmbpwDi4Z8Awg16h3DKoqRsQ/s640/ModArt-diploma-fashion+show-2011-7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
However, maybe these more 'down to earth' shows are more practical in the long-term for students. Sure, they can make a big neon leopard print Victorian gown and they can be called innovative, but it makes me wonder, do the art schools do enough to educate their students on how to make something which a modern woman would actually want to wear? Perhaps some of the colleges should take a page out of Modart's book and educate the up-and-coming designers in a more business-minded way. <br />
Anyway, let's talk about the show! Each graduate presented a mini-collection of half a dozen pieces with inspirations ranging from Poirot to dungeons and there were a few surprises in the form of some adorable toddlers and a flock of pregnant models! <br />

Anett Madar made all of our hearts melt when she brought out her petite models to showcase her collection of childrenswear titled “Szemőke”. Designed for girls ages 3-6, the collection draws inspiration from nature and natural forms and structures. The pieces are all romantic, whimsical and created using natural fibres. <br />

Women With A Movie Camera aka Iris Wakulenko and Chryssa Panoussiadou recently sent me a link to their latest documentary Like Anyone Else and I felt compelled to share it with you all. The short film is essentially a human rights story, exploring the themes of marriage and equality for same-sex couples. Filmed at various Royal Wedding street parties in the heart of London's gay district, the two creatives have created a piece which truly celebrates love in all its forms. In 2009 I had the pleasure of interviewing Iris for jotta.com (the piece has sadly been taken down after Jotta deleted almost all of its back-catalogue of articles) during the promotion of Two Way Love, a wonderful short film created in collaboration with the Kyoto University of Art & Design which explores the relationships of Japanese and Western cross-cultural couples.<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Last week I had the chance to meet up with the Danish graphic designer Rune K Drewsen during his brief visit to Budapest.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
We organised to meet at the Printa Akadémia, a logical choice seeing as it was where he recently exhibited in his one-man show 'It's Not Just Medicine'. The exhibition, which was inspired by Hungary's favourite national past-time -drinking- featured 24 original screenprints created in the Printa screen printing workshop.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">As I arrived and ordered myself a cup of tea from the cafe the door burst open and an excitable couple rushed past me into the gallery space clutching notepads and a map, excitedly shrieking at each other in Hungarian. They dived towards a treasure chest situated on the floor and frantically started entering the lock combination. At this precise moment, Rune arrived – camera in hand, ready to snap away at the lucky couple as they plucked the prizes from the chest. Needless to say I was baffled by the events which had transpired.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“It's the Urban Treasure Hunt,” Rune explained, handing me a bright yellow flyer, “This is the first time we've done it here in Budapest. Previously we held the treasure hunt in Copenhagen, but this year we really wanted to go somewhere foreign. We were really lucky because so many artists and designers here in Hungary wanted to get involved and help us organise it.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAIIjU99j6Qkvlzu_sZAcDz-hoHNb_6FqNTyH9-PYudVXu59cLwCltrWTPWUoqgj3n3EikcD7bFNVgHUugMQumEz7LG53JHfyxDV4_WerHKKd6oKO3SbvDyuzFeiHZSRQi4scdrb_rP6c/s1600/DSC_0011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAIIjU99j6Qkvlzu_sZAcDz-hoHNb_6FqNTyH9-PYudVXu59cLwCltrWTPWUoqgj3n3EikcD7bFNVgHUugMQumEz7LG53JHfyxDV4_WerHKKd6oKO3SbvDyuzFeiHZSRQi4scdrb_rP6c/s640/DSC_0011.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">"I think the Treasure Hunt is a great opportunity for locals to experience their home town in a new way - like a tourist. It's amazing the things you notice - and don't notice - in your every day surroundings."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Rune convinces me to give it a try the following weekend but I point out to him that I now have an unfair advantage over other treasure hunters as I know where the treasure is hidden.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“Ah yes, but you don't have the combination number for the lock...so you wont be able to cheat.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I assure him that I am a well experienced lock-picker so wont require any codes and on that note we make our way into the gallery space. We sit on a small bench just by the gallery entrance and Rune tells me the inspiration behind the name of his exhibition. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><style type="text/css">

</style> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“When you arrive in Hungary one of the first drinks people ask you to taste in Zwack Unicum. You take a shot and then this awful bitter taste immediately hits you” - Rune pulls a disgusted face - “and you say 'Urgh its horrible!' But, the Hungarians always say 'Aaah yes - but it's good for you''”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzw_tDVneudS2uwry5O2tuLpztHo8vmCLX2ppbisUtlx4ZL0XReC8EUG_UIjYmsvtWxkDWZjJdQDbfyHPhqoyaWWqpCVyO03_1yRs360GWwYElObIXYIXLW9n-3MapxikcWV50_w3ny-g/s1600/DSC_0012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzw_tDVneudS2uwry5O2tuLpztHo8vmCLX2ppbisUtlx4ZL0XReC8EUG_UIjYmsvtWxkDWZjJdQDbfyHPhqoyaWWqpCVyO03_1yRs360GWwYElObIXYIXLW9n-3MapxikcWV50_w3ny-g/s640/DSC_0012.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“So really this whole exhibition is inspired by Hungary and the local drinking culture. Each image contains its own narrative based on an event or an experience I've had while exploring Budapest's bars. In several of the images I reference the national drinks such as Palinka and Unicum. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“Unicum was my main source of inspiration for the colour choices in these prints, I used the original colours of the bottle which were red, black and white.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><style type="text/css">
<!--
@page { margin: 2cm }
P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm }
-->
</style> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Incredibly, 'It's Not Just Medicine' is the first collection of screen prints Rune has ever made. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“I was nervous about working with silkscreen at first , I tend to work really fast but this is a very tiresome and slow process. I also like to be clean, I hate getting messy and there is so much ink! Cleaning up was the least enjoyable part of this project.” </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“Mistakes will happen when you are screen printing but that's great! Sometimes a detail will be missed or a shape or a line will be created accidently, altering the image and sometimes improving it in a way I hadn't thought of before.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2KWZUBK9CbGs77IZZCbp6aAxl7KET3zRUBLlgJMKt8IAKNaPknNXBswQGyGiZxbcjpgl7UuBMy7DGiZEowEJ6F0fyi_6oHHWaKUUlmdObtC8N1itsLoEkw4KxyhcmvuwkZiZi4iO0Z4/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx2KWZUBK9CbGs77IZZCbp6aAxl7KET3zRUBLlgJMKt8IAKNaPknNXBswQGyGiZxbcjpgl7UuBMy7DGiZEowEJ6F0fyi_6oHHWaKUUlmdObtC8N1itsLoEkw4KxyhcmvuwkZiZi4iO0Z4/s640/DSC_0013.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Each of the prints is in a limited series of 40, all of which have a small red dot of ink applied by hand, making each one unique.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">“The small red details were very important to me. They makes the viewer explore the image further. Once they realise there is a red dot in one of the images they will go back to find it in the other ones - it's like a game.”</div><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div>Although the images are based on a specific event, they are all open to a interpretation. Visual puns are played out and objects can be read in a multitude of ways.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">"Sometimes, people who view my work see some strange things. For example in one piece, many people have come up to me saying they like the one with the trumpet and I think 'What trumpet?' They show me and it's the illustration I did of a man who has fallen off the bar stool!"</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">"It's great that people view my work in different ways. The red dots, for example, in one piece could be drops of blood or they could be tears. In another one there is a man holding a baby bottle - it could be a father staying up late, looking after his child who wont go to sleep or on the other hand it could be a guy at a bachelors party."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">"Working on this project I think I've learned more than I ever needed to know about Hungary's national drinks," Rune jokes , "If you ever get talking to a man in a bar, I guarantee you he will tell you absolutely everything he knows about Palinka - which region produces the best Palinka, what ingredients to use, how to make it. Everyone here is an expert. The Hungarians are very proud of their drinks!"</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

A self proclaimed 'street artist without a street' and an 'accidental photographer' , the post-modern aristocrat captures contemporary urban lifestyle in a vivid and simplistic way. In Urban Jungles and Scenes In The Key Of Life, Hubertus is seen trapped within his own images. The photographer captures his reflection in the shop windows and shiny advertisements which seem to consume him. There is a voyeuristic edge to many of these images due to the suggestive nature of the content and the way Hubertus often crops himself just slightly 'off camera'. <br />

Images from the Elegantly Wasted collection explore how the waste of society can be considered as chic and fashionable. Piles of trash are captured in a glamorous and exuberant way turning them into works of art.<br />

For those of you who are unaware of the Gyula Derkovits Art Scholarship, it was founded by the Hungarian state in 1955. The initiative was open to artists under the age of 35 and those who succeeded in winning a scholarship were provided with a grant to support their creative practise whether they be a painter, sculptor, graphic or media artist. Back then it was only around 3000 Hungarian Forint over a period of three years (which by today's standards is roughly £3.23 per year) but now the scholars receive 80,000 HUF over a period of 11 months.<br />

Each year there are roughly 200 applicants for the 10 open positions in the first year of the scholariship. The reason the scholarship is so popular is not only down to the program's prestige but because it is the only form of stable support from the government.<br />

The 2010 Grantees of the Gyula Derkovits Art Scholarship Review exhibition is in its final week at the <a href="http://www.mucsarnok.hu/new_site/index.php?lang=en&t=571&curmenu=102">Ernst Múzeum</a>. Featuring 30 artists in total, the show features a vast array of creative disciplines and styles. In this installment One A Day will focus on the graphic design and illustrative work which was exhibited. István Csákány's piece 'Suspended' immediately catches your eye as you enter the exhibition. The woodcut piece is based on an old archive image of workers removing the 'Snake Killer' sculpture by Hungarian artist Pál Pátczay. The original image dates back to post World War II events when the statue, which was supposed to be erected in honour of Raul Wallenberg, a diplomat who helped to rescue many Jews from the Holocaust, was removed and hidden by the Communist government.<br />

Anikó Loránt's illustrations are wonderfully carefree and full of colour. Using both paper and wood as a canvas, the images are perfectly suited for children's story books. Anikó displays 8 pieces in total, the titles of which form a poem: 'There is no model for rationality, all the gods are laughing out loud, how could they fit in when the sun does not need them to dance on a narrow fence.' <br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Ádám Albert</span><br />
'Find the key!' and 'RAF manual' by Ádám Albert were firm favourites at the exhibition. The Veszprém born graphic designer has earned scholarships in Rome, Munich and has won the ESSL art award - the Gyula Derkovits Scholariship is another impressive accolade to add to the list!<br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Beatrix Szörényi</span><br />
There was also some typographic work in the form of Beatrix Szörényi's Prophecy font chart. The font itself has been aggressively scribbled over and defaced making some of the letters almost illegible.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">After giving up on the <a href="http://oneadaydesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/urban-treasure-hunt.html">Urban Treasure Hunt</a> last weekend One A Day stumbled across this brilliant solo exhibition by Zsolt Domsodi which is currently on show at the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/gruzzwe">Gruzzwe</a> gallery. The ever so subtly titled 'Attack Of The Giant Holyshit!' sees Zsolt mix together his love for illustration and the undead...</span></span></span><br />
