DiploMA

GraphicDesign exhibition

The Exhibition of the Graphic design MA students from the Metropolitan University, was held in the 2B Gallery in Budapest, IX disctict, Táday street 47, beetween 2017 September 1-8.

By the jury, I won the right to design the identity and the layout of the exhibition.
This included: Facebook event invitation, web banners, printed advertisment posters, nametags, and presentation posters for the exhibited designs and their designers.

The exhibition got opened by Péter Maczó, teacher of the university:

"This year 16 students defented their dissertations. Its not only significant by the numer of the students, but also because the variety of their designs. The topic in most cases are choosen by their own emotions, but in choosing the tools and the way of producing, the classical drawing and illustrative ways got replaced by professional, computer technology, which combined the manual knowledge with the creative tools using, which is balanced through the four semesters of the studies also."

Quote from "Magyar Grafika" ("Hungarian Graphics") journal.

"We weave ourselves into fabric"

Citing a work of art

The purpose of the exhibition was to evoke a work of art that is not present in its physical form; reconstructed with the help of associations, but at the same time reinterpreting its atmosphere. The starting point is Imre Mariann's installation titled "Saint Cecilia".

Imre Mariann's work consists of a concrete body placed on the ground and a plexiglass suspended from the ceiling, but the point is the multitude of threads connecting the two objects - the "heavenly" and "earthly" bodies: the knots tied at different heights represent the soul leaving the body.

But filaments can even refer to strings, as the virgin and martyr revered as a saint is the patron saint of music, with a lute or harp often seen in his depictions.

The threads represent the human and sacred nature of St. Cecilia in this exhibition as well.

Visitors had the opportunity to take part in the final form of the exhibition by grabbing a thread of yarn. The resulting, ever-increasing system of fabrics weaves around, and after a while may even obscure the selected parts of the text, the rhythm of which - like Imre Mariann's installation - moves from the material to the immaterial.
