Prague Quadriennale 2015, Students’ section
Curatorial concept & realization: Piroska É.Kiss
The aim of the early exercises is to take possession of basic skills of design, including research, collection, systematization, composition, proposals and technical drawings.
The next step is one of the most popular courses:
The Collector’s room.
Each students imagine a Collector with different collection passion. The exercise is to build the character of the Collector, design the room/flat/space where she/he lives and which shows in detail the Collector’s passion and her/his life.
At the end of the semester a fully detailed model has to be made about the living space of the imagined personality and passion.
The aim of this exercise is to stir the imagination, research and realize the connection between the characters and their territory. It is also really important to improve the skill and culture of model-making ability.
We want to shaw these models of The Collector’s room by an installation which is a collector’s room whose passion is to collect the models of The Collector’s room project.
