The Museum of Architecture and Design is launching an open call for participation in FARAWAY, SO CLOSE – 25th Biennial of Design, curated by editor and curator Angela Rui and MAO curator Maja Vardjan. The open call is dedicated to designers, architects, filmmakers, graphic designers, interaction designers, illustrators, writers, animators, photographers, researchers and other interdisciplinary agents who see the biennial as an experimental, collaborative platform for testing, developing and sharing their own approaches and expertise around the issues and structure of the new biennial format.
Seven well-known individuals from host-country Slovenia have been selected for their unique personal and professional projects outside the field of design. Their knowledge and originality will be interpreted by seven international creative figures chosen for their ability to use design and architecture as tools for investigating contemporary issues. By testing disciplines outside their comfort zone, FARAWAY, SO CLOSE will present possible scenarios that enquire into global as well as local issues.
After choosing a team, the selected participants will actively join their research and design process, which will start with the Kick-off event in September 2016 in Ljubljana.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 10 July, 2016
