Ferizovića
Subota 9. mart / Ispod mosta Gazela sa
Novobeogradske strane na platou ispred broda NNK
Pridruïžite 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 žitelji preseljeni u problematičan projekat socijalnog
stanovanja Kamendin, gde više nije imao uslova za nastavak svoje
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 će 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. | 1311 |

(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. godine. Autorima će slediti serija proizvoda i
u slučaju moguće komercijalizacije dogovoreni procenat od prodaje.

del | Shredder Box Parts Arrived | Belgrade | 15/09/2017@12h | Building Schredder | Self-funded | minipogon | Shredder box parts were ordered from Germany,
thanks to Katharina Elke who made a contact
for us, and organised a bulk order via
Precious Plastic forum. Pieces were cut from
combination of stainless steel for knifes and
regular steel for the rest of parts for
85euro (+35eur for shipping). It was not
possible to find affordable price in Serbia
at the moment. Also the shipping is done
through Graz (as it was not possible to send
it outside of EU) so a friend Igor received
it there and brought on his visit to
Belgrade. | 1507 |
