Invitation to all interested parties in the South East Europe to apply for the competition and participation in the exhibition

GHOST PROJECT 2010: „BALKANSKI DUHOVI“/„BALKAN GHOSTS“- INDUSTRIAL DESIGN REGIONAL YEARLY REVIEW

THE COMPETITION THEME

After four years of our continuous work to revive the industrial design in Serbia, GHOST PROJECT has become the regional platform for the promotion of design.

„BALKAN GHOSTS“ is an initiative to connect Balkan designers and multiply networks of progressive activities in the region, as well as re-establishing broken connections between different cultures, various creatives, design and business, man and nature.

EXHIBITION

Chosen works will be part of a Mikser festival's central exhibition in the Talent zone. Mikser festival is taking place in Belgrade from May 25-29, 2010, at an attractive industrial location on the bank of Danube.

FIELD OF COMPETITION

Industrial design: furniture, lighting, everyday objects, interior elements etc.

ELIGABILITY

The competition is open to individual designers in South East European countries. Each candidate can submit several designs

CRITERIA

Mikser's jury will select the works based on the following criteria:

• Originality

• Innovation

• Functionality

• Technical and technological viability of the design. Ghost Project will showcase only the prototypes. Submitted designs should be executable in technologies available to the designer.

• Esthetics

• Environmental aspects of the product – submitted design should be eco-friendly and sustainable

• Management of resources and materials. Careful, rational use of materials and resources necessary for the production of the object will be considered an added value. The jury will particularly value the relationship of the object toward the limitations of the contemporary industrial design. Social and economic context, endangered natural resources, limited availability of the materials and technologies used on the domestic market should be treated as a design challenge and inspiration for solutions that open up new possibilities.

Ghost Project is initiated and organized by the cultural organization Mikser. www.mikser.rs

Poziva sve zainteresovane iz regiona da se prijave na konkurs za učešće na izložbi:

GHOST PROJECT 2010: „BALKANSKI DUHOVI“/ „BALKAN GHOSTS” - REGIONALNA GODIŠNJA SMOTRA INDUSTRIJSKOG DIZAJNA

TEMA KONKURSA

Nakon četiri godine rada na reanimaciji industrijskog dizajna u Srbiji, GHOST PROJECT prerasta u regionalnu platformu za promociju dizajna.

„BALKAN GHOSTS“je inicijativa povezivanja dizajnera nekadašnje kulturne panorama Balkana i ukazivanja na važnost umrežavanja progresivnih inicijativa u regionu, kao i uspostavljanja raskinutih veza između predstavnika različitih kultura, stvaralaca različitih disciplina, dizajna i privrede, čoveka i prirode.

IZLOŽBA

Izabrani radovi će učestvovati na centralnoj izložbi Talent zone regionalnog Festivala Mikser koji će se održati 25.-29.maja, 2010.god u Beogradu, na atraktivnoj industrijskoj lokaciji na obali Dunava.

OBLAST KONKURSA

Industrijski dizajn: nameštaj, rasveta, upotrebni predmeti, elementi enterijera, itd.

PRAVO UČEŠĆA

Konkurs je otvoren za sve zainteresovane koji se bave dizajnom u zemljama Jugoistočne Evrope. Svaki kandidat može učestvovati sa više radova.

                         

KRITERIJUMI ŽIRIRANJA

Stručni žiri organizacije Mikser vršiće selekciju na osnovu sledećih kriterijuma:

• Originalni dizajn. Tragamo za autentičnim idejama koje će doprineti da se zemlje regiona pozicioniraju na međunarodnom tržištu.

• Promišljenost koncepta i njegova opravdanost

• Stepen razrade idejnog rešenja

• Inovativnost – jedinstveno i napredno idejno rešenje

• Funkcionalnost

• Tehnička i tehnološka izvodljivost eksponata - na izložbi Ghost Project se izlažu isključivo prototipovi, predložena rešenja treba da budu izvodljiva tehničkim postupcima koji su dostupni učesniku

• Estetika

• Ekološki aspekti proizvoda – proizvod treba da ispunjava savremene zahteve očuvanja životne sredine i održivog razvoja

• Racionalnost – racionalna upotreba materijala i resursa potrebnih za proizvodnju predmeta doprineće vrednosti projekta. Žiri će posebno vrednovati odnos projekta prema ograničenjima sa kojima se suočava savremeni industrijski dizajn, pogotovo u našim sredinama. Društveno-ekonomski kontekst, ugroženost prirodnih resursa, limitiranost domaćeg tržišta materijalima i savremenim tehnologijama treba tretirati kao projektantske izazove i inspiracije za rešenja koja otvaraju nove mogućnosti i ulivaju optimizam.

Inicijator i organizator izložbe Ghost Project je kulturna organizacija Mikser.
