It is a place of learning, unlearning and ‘up-learning’. In a time of radical shifts and unpredictability, it refers to models that welcome the unforeseeable as a formative element.
This project is part of the extended Graz Cultural Year 2020. It will take place in < rotor > as well as at five locations in Annenviertel neighbourhood and will last until October. | 1489 |

vođstvom Rasima Ferizovića
Subota 9. mart
Ispod mosta Gazela sa Novobeogradske strane
na platou ispred broda NNK
Pridružite nam se u jedinstvenoj prilici
izgradnje kargo bicikla pod stručnim
nadzorom i mentorstvom Rasima Ferizovića.
Za 20 godina intenzivnog bavljenja ovim
poslom u svojoj mehaničarskoj radnji
smeštenoj u Kartonskom naselju ispod
Gazele, Rasim je izradio preko 100
različitih modela, sve dok naselje zajedno
sa njegovom radionicom nije raseljeno 2010
i njegovi stanovnici preseljeni u
problematičan projekat socijalnog
stanovanja ’Kamendin’, gde više nije imao
uslova za onastavak ove delatnosti.
Učesnici će imati prilike da se oprobaju u
tehnikama obrade metala, radu sa
brusilicom, aparatom za varenje i upoznaju
sa metodom adaptiranja Poni bicikla u kargo
vozilio, prikladno za različite namene
transporta tereta u gradu.
Samo izgrađeno vozilo biće stavljeno na
raspolaganje zajednicama koje za njim imaju
potrebu i o ovoj temi ce se još diskutovati
na samoj radionici.
Takođe, radionica se organizuje bez ikakve
finansijske podrške pa će donacije biti
dobrodošle ali ne i obavezne. U predahu će
se služiti toplli tanjir ukusnog sočiva.

Izazov u 3E dizajnu
(3E=Ekologija+Ekonomija+Etika)
Minipogon /
24.12.2018. – 01.03.2019.
Poziv je upućen mladim dizajnerima koji bi
želeli da se svojim idejama uključe u
razvijanje dostupnih tehnologija obrade
reciklažne plastike koju od 2017. godine
razvijamo i unapređujemo u okviru
Minipogona,
po principima
Precious
Plastic–a (Eindhoven, Holandija).
Primenjujući tri važna principa pri dizajniranju
proizvoda - ekološki, ekonomski i etički - idejno
rešenje treba da reflektuje društvenu i ekološku
odgovornost u smislu da predmet izrađen od
reciklažne plastike, uz minimizirane troškove
proizvodnje treba da poseduje visoku upotrebnu
i/ili simboličku vrednost, što će omogućiti njegov
duži vek trajanja (u odnosu na onaj koji je
plastičnim proizvodima uobičajeno namenjen).
Za tri izabrana idejna rešenja biće realizovani
kalupi u aluminijumu i izrađena serija proizvoda.
Radovi će biti predstavljeni na izložbi u Maloj
galeriji primenjenih umetnosti u Uzun Mirkovoj u
toku 2019. god. Autorima će slediti serija
proizvoda i u slučaju moguće komercijalizacije
dogovoreni procenat od prodaje.
