MA show & event (jour fixes)
How do you imagine your graduation show, which guests would you like to welcome and who are you aiming to see and speak to? How to organize that? In a number of Jour Fixes the group plans the exhibition design plus PR and invites for a vernissage and a special event (finnisage) in Feldfünf at the end of September.
Design & …. (praxis colloquia)
Different perspectives are looked at through meet-and-greets with young and experienced designers in their studios, talks, visits to manufacturers, design labels, social practices and Post graduate options + financing.
