1984 - the year that has come to the fore countless times in recent years, the year that briefly characterizes the changes in social and economic trends intensified by the pandemic.
However, this date is not only the title of one of the most famous dystopia and the definition of a negative sense of community, in many cases a lovely, personal number. Just as the changes catalyzed by the pandemic have brought with them a lot of personal change, so does that number of years hide a number of positive events.

FISE's group exhibition, scheduled for this year's Budapest Design Week, features the latest works by designers born in the cult year, while the hall was born in 1984.

Nelli Szabó:
The Pass_age of Time

"When we leave childhood, we slowly get used to the fact that objects are silent. Yet, when a crisis situation develops or there is a personal connection to an object, the object is able to speak, it starts talking to us. But what happens when objects they start telling us dashed stories in strange language.We are always able to listen to the objects?
In Nelli Szabó's works, objects speak to us, but the meanings of speech do not become decodable by a precisely descriptive logical field. Although its objects certainly stand in space, together they are as if they have been highlighted from the events of a dream.
It's crazy, but there's a system in it - that's how Polonius analyzes Hamlet on stage. However, this system is not easy to read, an instant report cannot be compiled from the world of exhibits that can be consumed immediately when diluted with hot water.
Nelli Szabó's exhibition consists of object quotations placed in space.
Window arch and table fragment, digital frame image stretched out like an accordion - objects collide in space at the exhibition. All this is no longer surrealism, there is no umbrella and operating table here. Nelli Szabó speaks with humor about the use of objects and sheds light on the cultural dysfunctions with the commonplaces of object functionality.
In the exhibition we can see material absurdities taken in beautiful, beaten formal poems. Wood, stone, metal, salt - here are the materials of the exhibition. And what is the menu? Hamlet omelette in Kálmán Imre street. Danish design in the orchestration of an operetta - Nelli Szabó's exhibition not only for connoisseurs. "

According to presentationism, the only real things are existing in the present. Everything what was in the past or what will be in the future is non-existing. I cannot change the past, I can change the present partially and I have a minimal impact to the future. My present is a very narrow window frame or rather a blind window, on which some memories and desires are arranged into a new shape from time to time. The past and the present are a by-product of the human time perception, that helps our orientation. To carry a form from the past into the present equals with the act of remembrance. A fragment of the past that is meant to remind us of the past in the present, so we can say that it’s a romantic endeavour. The old objects function as signs in the present. Signs of the passage of time, they are reminding us that the present soon will become the past and, if we are lucky, our present desires will become our future self.

“Möbius Studies”
Repetitive structures come together into a common framework, orderliness in the endless number of variations. Individually weak, flexible surfaces become strong as the consequence of form creation. I’m studying and modelling the functioning of this static principle therefore I chose a formal element that always behaves differently with the variations of size and texture. In addition to static aspects, I am interested in light effects appearing on different materials, e.g. light-shadow effects on nets, on transparent or reflective surfaces. I’m working on making these studies applicable for interior lighting from lamps to light installations.

Mindannyian másként tekintünk egy tárgyra, ha ismerjük annak történetét. A „story telling” ma már a márkaépítés egyik fontos eszköze, és különösen igaz ez a dizájn területén, ahol egy-egy sztorin keresztül nem csupán egy adott alkotást, de annak inspirációját, elkészítését sőt tervezőjének személyiségét, attitűdjét is megismerhetjük. A FISE 20 tagját kérték fel, hogy meséljék el egy-egy jól ismert munkájuk történetét az ötlet megszületésétől annak fizikai megvalósulásáig. A szelekcióban ékszerek, porcelán- és üvegtárgyak, textilek és más használati tárgyak is helyet kaptak. A válogatásban Kecskés Orsolya Napóleon brossától kezdve, Söptei Eszter háromdimenziós textiljén át, a Logifaces logikai játék „keletkezéstörténetére” is fény derül.

Megnyitó: 2019. október 8., kedd, 18:00

A kiállítás októbert 18-ig látogatható munkanapokon 13-18 óra között.

Eseményünk a Design Hét Budapest 2019 programjának része.
