Art Dizajn
art installation & exhibition design by Studio Rašić
We were invited to do an exhibition of our environmental & exhibition design projects in The Library of Marija Jurić Zagorka. Our projects were exhibited inside while outside we decided to use library windows for an installation that promotes our approach to design that is very much inspired by art. Large hand made letters make a sign that reads DIZAJN (Design), and they are the main part of the typographic art installation, while the second part is the word ART. Using the two terms in our work, we are questioning the relationship of a designer and an artist towards the environment, consumerism, politics, economy, recession, etc. Is the designer also an artist? Where is the boundary between cultural and commercial creativity? Do such creative functions contribute to the economy?
Each letter is a work of art for itself so we putted the title under it:
D – „infomania” (D is made out of CD’s which were really used in our projects)
I – „knowledge” (I is made of books we designed)
Z – „corruption” (Z is made from the police line tape. „USKOK” is a Croatian Anti-corruption & Anti-criminal Organization)
A – „darkness” (A is made out of neon lights)
J – „thirst” (J is made from empty non-recyclable plastic cups)
N – „consumerism” (N is made out of toilet paper)
Design: Studio Rašić / Ante Rašić, Marko Rašić, Vedrana Vrabec
Location (city, country): The Library of Marija Jurić Zagorka, Krvavi most 2, Zagreb, Croatia, January 25th – February 12th 2011
