Following last year’s outstanding success, we continue the
discount initiative with sixty Budapest-based shops and design
galleries offering a 20% discount during Budapest Design
Week. This program means much for us than an offering for our
audience, as - in addition to making desirable design works
more easily attainable - it calls the attention to small galleries,
showrooms and brand representatives that mediate value
and culture, thus making Budapest even more attractive.
The design week coupons available from the present program
booklet have to be shown upon purchase in the given shops,
which in exchange give 20% discount during the time of this
year’s Budapest Design Week, between 2nd and 11th of October.
The cut out coupons are valid only together with the program
booklet, so, please, have it with you.
The Design Week discount offer cannot be combined
with other special rates or rebates.

Antal Kelle's ArtFormer works were most recently displayed in Dessau in the Bauhaus Kandinsky/Klee Master House, then in Hungary at the Exhibition Hall of the Hungarian Patent Office. His large-sized figures created for the 2009 Budapest Design Week are hung in the Renaissance Hall of the Museum of Fine Arts. They are a platform for the joint interactivity of several persons and utilise the most progressive technologies. From the point of view of interactivity the almost 6 metre tall statue couple that uses the entire space is exceptional in art history. Visitors of the museum can directly modulate them, while others can watch and remotely move the statues from two other venues – the Museum of Applied Arts and the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest. No one knows the other in this relationship. The indirect behaviours and reactions revealing themselves in the movements of the statues fall into play or co-operative acceptance or even denial.

A key element in the program of the 2009 Budapest Design Week is the Open
Studios initiative, the aim of which is to present the work of Hungarian designers
through actual examples. According to our experience, the Hungarian society is
still unsure about the design profession. That is why we would like the public to
get closer to the working process, the technical background and the craftsmanship
of certain fields within design, to see how, through what phases a product is born,
to ask questions, and to understand through personal experience what designers
do day by day.

In the framework of the Open Studios program the door of 16 designers, designer
teams open for the public as we are convinced that trust in design can strengthen
further through personal experience.
The designers are looking forward to meeting you!

Aladár Németh – from prime movers to computers

Book presentation
october 5. 19.00

Mudeum of Applied Arts
1091 Budapest
Üllői avenue 33-37.

Aladár Németh (1931-2002) was a defining personality of Hungarian design. He was a successful and acclaimed designer, the activist of the association of fine artists and ICSID, teacher of the College of Applied Arts. The monograph written by József Vadas concentrates mainly on his creative work, in which not only the different vehicles (tractors, dump trucks, ships), but also lab equipment and electronic devises played an important role. A career reporting about the rugged times of Hungarian design is analysed by placing it in the period's economic and intellectual environment and presented through spectacular pictures.

I laugh when something is real, real fun. I think that important things are simple. I do play, but I am not a toy. We all have our job to do. My job is to deal with what I like. I share my experiences. I'd like to invite you to the first exhibition of my life. http://sargika.wordpress.com

The style of the uniquely designed woolen carpets of Brinkus Design is a kind of breaking point from the strict rules of geometry and rigid angularity. Thanks to hand-tufting the shape and surface of the carpets can be freely formulated, while coupling the different materials results in the creation of special pieces that can make any interior original and characteristic.
Adventurous visitors can try sculpturesque shearing and can even take the result of their work home.

The project was launched as the co-operation of two universities (Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest and Schule für Gestaltung, Ravensburg) as a joint research and art initiative for experts and students who live in Hungary or Germany and work in the field of visual communication. The exhibited task was completed by randomly associated German and Hungarian pairs. After the first move of the starting designer the graphical work was sent six times between the artists of the two countries, thus shaping into its final form. The visual responses are interesting even in their own right, but the real excitement is the process of the creation.

That version of the mapping of visualisation, in which the invisible or the hardly see through is realised in a visible model. The aim is the creation of a visual essence that helps understanding. Art is the steady utopia of self-reflexion, the gesture of self-cognition and self-correction by self-expression. Ego Trip is a visualisation experiment for the spiritual mapping of the ego. Self-mapping, self-measurement that might take the creator closer to understanding his/her own intellectual development.
