FISE - Design Galaxy - exhibition at “Lábasház” in Sopron

The basic goal of FISE is to promote applied art and design, and to present our works throughout the country, outside the walls of our gallery. In recent years, FISE has hosted exhibitions in Eger, Győr, Pannonhalma, Szombathely, and Hévíz. After the exhibition in Pécs last October, we are now organizing a large-scale exhibition in Sopron based on our Contemporary Art Collection.

The collection, made up of the works of the most famous domestic artists, is able to provide a complete overview of the processes and trends in the areas covered by the members of the community, as it displays all disciplines (interior architecture, design, ceramic-porcelain, clothing, clothing accessories, goldsmithing, textile design, glass, visual communication). The continuous, versatile presentation of the collection - both in Hungary and abroad - definitely provides exciting and invigorating discoveries for all visitors.

Opening on Friday, May 17, 2024 at 5 p.m.
The exhibition will be opened in the Lábasház by Mayor Dr Ciprián Farkas and DLA Róbert Mascher, the president of FISE.

“When it rains, the flowers open. The lizard eats the bug, the lizard eats the bird. But they all die in the end. It dies and dries up. Generations die out, but the next one is already here. And so, it goes. There are countless different forms of life, countless different forms of death. Eventually, the difference will diminish.” Haruki Murakami

The differences disappear, the motifs and techniques are connected to the trends of the given ages in an eternal cycle. They affect each other and still retain their original quality. As they are reborn or even transform into each other. However, their unique ideas remain, which appear in the language of design with their unchanged laws.

Brigitta B. Horváth
She uses traditional silversmithing techniques to make her home furnishing items, in the creation of which an important aspect is the design approach. She works bravely with techniques that are hundreds of years old in an age where few people know or use these form-forming methods. She combines the ancient world of forms with a good sense of minimalist, clean forms, the communicative role of objects is important to him, which she realizes in her works not only with the interconnected narrative elements of the objects, but also with the communication between the viewer and the objects. Her unique copper lamps and home furnishings speak of her love of nature and fill modern homes with warmth and elegance in a kind of oriental zen atmosphere, which she also inspired during her university years in the Far East.

Corinna Nitschmann
In her creations, domestic wool, which would otherwise end up in the trash, is used as a valuable raw material in modern interiors, thus bringing back something from nature and thus prompting the viewer to reconnect with wool, which the visitor can feel. In this form, the 6000-year-old craft technique meets 21st century design interior design concepts.
Its meandering patterns are derived from traditional Turkmen patterns. In her basic idea, in her creations, the tufts of wool grow a little on these patterns, just as the grass covers the Roman mosaics left alone in open space.

News from Mátranovák

The metalsmith section occupied the artist's house at Mátranovák again. 15 of them are and work there with liquid metals and other materials and tools - wich can be frightening for an ordinary person. They work with aluminium mostly.
And there is preparing a special weathercocok for our majer helper and supporter, László Borkovics!

"Here is cheer and the weather is fine! - informed us the team - as we can see on the photos too.
Keep it up guys!

A kiállítást 2016. szeptember 13-án kedden 18 órakor,
Stomfai Krisztina ékszertervező, a Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem tanára nyitja meg.
Megtekinthető 2016. szeptember 21-ig, munkanapokon 13-18 óra között

2015. október 2-án a Design Hét keretében, a FISE Galéria által negyedik alkalommal megrendezett Design Párbajon (DESIGN FALAT / FALAT DESIGN), a FISE művésztanár tagjaiból és az ő diákjaikból összeállított csapatok mérték össze már másodjára kreativitásukat egy workshop keretén belül. A négyfős csapatoknak három óra alatt, kizárólag a helyszínen kapott anyagok, eszközök felhasználásával és bizonyos tervezési kritériumoknak megfelelve kellett a Kubizmus című fiktív kiállításunk megnyitójára olyan tálaló és szervírozó eszközöket tervezni és modellezni, amelyeket Góg Angéla food designert alkotásai és a kiállítás mottója inspiráltak. Az elkészült munkákat szakmabeli bírálókból összeállított zsűri értékelte.

Az öt csapat jó hangulatú párbaját a budapesti Kisképző (Képző- és Iparművészeti Szakközépiskola / Szakgimnázium és Kollégium) csapata nyerte meg. A párbajon az iskola felnőtt ötvös képzését képviselő diákok Németh Orsolya, Kovács Emese és Brada Hedvig voltak, Szilos András művésztanár irányításával.

A verseny díjaként a nyertes csapat lehetőséget kapott egy kiállításon való bemutatkozásra a FISE Galériában. A kiállítás keretében az iskola nappali és esti munkarendű ötvös szakos képzésének több évtized alatt kidolgozott, a mai kor igényei szerint aktualizált tanmenetének és feladatainak átfogó bemutatása valósul meg.

Tóth Zoltán, ötvösművész válaszai. Villámkérdéseket tettünk fel néhány tagunknak, hogy lássuk/lássátok, mi minden volt tavaly!

1. Mi volt számodra a 2015-ös év legpozitívabb élménye?
Az Ékszerek Éjszakája Budapest rendezvény nagyszerű volt. Remek pozitív pörgés volt a részvétel. Jól meghatározható irány, pont, "részcél" volt.

2. És mi volt a legnagyobb bosszúsága?
Természetesen voltak bosszantó dolgok, de nem tudom eldönteni melyik volt a "leg". A bosszantó, de már elmúlt dolgok egyébként is súlytalanok lesznek.

3. Mi volt a leginspirálóbb dolog, ami 2015-ben történt Veled?
Egy privát, de értő megrendelő. Sok szempontból jókor talált meg. Az ékszer még készül.

4. Mi okozta a legnagyobb meglepetést az elmúlt év során?
Itt is nehéz a leget megtalálni. Bizonyára a sokféle elfogultság is befolyásol, de a "KONTAKT" pályázat fődíja sokat jelent(ett).

5. Milyen újdonságot próbáltál ki az elmúlt egy év során, és milyen tapasztalatot szereztél általa?
Úszva jutottam el egy szigetre.

6. Fogadalom 2016- ra / üzenet magadnak és másoknak a következő évre:
Összeszedettség, gyorsabb döntéshozás.

The PETHŐ-INSTITUTE is world-famous for its conductive-pedagogy for training and developing handicapped children. The exhibition presents a one-year-long creative project. Children were educated and inspired through fine-art. Their self-reflections were partly realised in particular painting, drawings and there are several space-objects made from natural materials. The creations are certainly interesting however the project was much more complex. The well-designed project offered a wide range of inputs actions for the participants and gained really deep breakthrough in remedial methods.

The project was supported by MOL / Hungarian Oil Company and Új Európa Alapítvány /New Europe Foundation.

Metaphor Visual Play (The World of Meta-images Through Surrealistic Illusion) - Solo Show of Chang Sik Kim

The exhibition will be opened by:
Péter Bence Simon
Red Dot award-winning typographer, adjunct professor at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design

Exhibition opening event: April 18, 2024 from 6 p.m
Location: FISE Gallery, Kálmán Imre street 16., 1054 Budapest, HUNGARY
On view: until April 23, 2024, Monday to Friday from 13:00 to 18:00

At the opening of the exhibition, Chang Sik Kim will personally give an introductory talk on his past and recent works and his world-renowned curatorial and conference organizing work.

Chang Sik Kim is a professor at San Jose State University (USA), a typographer, and a creative director at Vol-So Design. His specialty is brand and information design, and typogram (type and image integration), particularly in the use of visual metaphors and methodologies to conceptualize complex ideas.

Chang was the recipient of the Presidential Prize in the National Design Awards in Korea. He has published three complete books, written multiple articles, and held fifteen solo exhibitions in Spain, the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Armenia, Japan, Korea, and the United States. Professionally, he has designed several newspapers, magazines, and more than 150 book covers, in addition to creating many successful character (mascot) and brand designs, as well as several typeface designs for Korean and Latin alphabets for branding projects. He has also served as a juror for several international design competitions such as "Poster for Tomorrow," "Granshan," "Wow Design Festa," and "ideec," among others. Chang’s clients have included Samsung, Yahoo, Hyundai Motors, Hammer Theatre, HP Computer, and Amazon, among others. His research papers and works have appeared in professional conferences and publications, including Graphis, Print, How, MAC World Korea, and Baseline magazines, as well as international conference journals like ICOGRADA, Granshan, AIGA, and Munich Design Week.

The Artist’s exhibition concept:

Typogram is a visual pun through typographic play. I love to play with signs, symbols, and icons. I was also fascinated by a similar element of visual play with types and images known as expressive typogram. This visual expression empowers memorable, symbolic, and conceptual messages to its audience. The compelling optical illusion with dual meanings may enjoyably communicate concepts. It has been a great interest of mine and an inspirational element for my work and teaching philosophy since I become a graphic designer and an educator later. Often, this would manifest in my client projects’ such as logotype, branding design, mascots, or graphics/illustrations on book designs.

The exhibition will be opened by: Szilvia Csanádi-Bognár, esthete, art historian, university assistant professor
Institute of Art and Design Theory

Opening on Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at 6 p.m.
It can be viewed until April 16, 2024, from Monday to Friday from 13:00 to 18:00.

METU Craft & Design - The future generation (Award winners of the Craft and Design section of the 36th OTDK from METU)

The creative person reflects on himself and the world from a special point of view. He constantly refines this reflection, first with his master - this creates a special master-student dialogue. At some point, creative thinking has to step out of the comfort zone and show itself in front of professional discussions and in public, and prove its vitality and right to exist.

An excellent forum for this is the scientific student conference, in the Art and Art Science Section, many young talents from the country's higher education institutions compared their knowledge. Creative talent was honored by 12 award-winning projects in the Craft and Design departments of the Budapest Metropolitan University. The Studio of Young Artists offered the first, second and third place winners the opportunity to introduce themselves as a special prize.

The students of the university's Department of Fashion and Textiles and Department of Architecture and Design present contemporary life feelings, socially and environmentally conscious problems, and everyday situations with their individual vision. They ask questions, curiously research, experiment, and look for the best solution. Just as many generations have done. Their vision is always the latest, their questions are relevant, and their answers echo the past and the future at the same time. They bravely touch on very personal topics, talk about evidence that pushes the boundaries of banality or dissect a traditional culture. Operating with traditional techniques, they reach for completely unusual materials, creating a surprising effect, or even take apart the usual forms and turn them upside down, achieving unexpected results. In their thinking, the concept of the obvious loses its limits, in their creative attitude, the future lies unnoticed in their curiosity and openness.

At the exhibition, we see chairs, benches, clothes, textiles, and bags, but behind them, we are faced with a forward-looking, researching gaze. This exhibition is a snapshot of the future generation of designers.

Mixed TECHnika - Exhibition of goldsmith Betti Domonyi and textile artist Marcsi Schuller

Opening on Tuesday, March 12, 2024 at 6 p.m.
The exhibition will be opened by writer, poet, book illustrator and film director Orsolya Láng.
Contributor: Ferenc Vértesi (guitar)

On view until March 28, 2024, from Monday to Friday from 13:00 to 18:00

Erzsébet Betti Domonyi, the jeweller and architect who creates works at the intersection of texture and geometry. This path enables her to explore different materials in different contexts, how they interact and become one. What is most important for her is to allow the material to evolve as it will, to let it take its course. In the exhibition, the square carbon fibre profile composite is set in different positions, preserving the constructive concept that he builds on the cube. With the CUBE I collection, he aims to show a segment of contemporary art where he can create self-identical works while maintaining both engineering and art.

Mária Schuller is a fashion and textile designer. In her work textiles create cohesion with the graphic approach of the technology of machine embroidery, which has now become her specialty. Textiles are integrated into her creations as a painterly element with their materiality, spatial dimensions, and the experience of somatic pleasure. The found and collected bits and pieces of textile (mostly not suitable for other purposes because they are waste) are used to create a new clothes and other textile compositions by sewing and embroidering, usually accompanied by visual and textual humor.
