The interdisciplinary Dialogue Design Festival is meant to initiate a series of meetings between two different artworlds, with their various historical background and current design trends.
DIALOGUE stands for the leitmotiv of the festival - seen as the dialogue between Polish and Belarusian artists, between various forms of artistic creativity and art manifestos as well as between diverse fields of art, such as graphics, music and animation. This dialogue also constitutes a springboard for various comparisons, but above all it's meant to create an opportunity for the artists and the public to meet and discover new art phenomena in the field of graphic design. The lectures and workshops that make part of the programme will certainly offer a great possibility for the begginers and more experienced professional artists to discuss, exchange opinions and start artistic cooperation that may result in creating collective, Polish-Belarusian art projects.
The festival, featuring many leading Polish designers and teoreticians, such as Dawid Korzekwa, Hakobo, Homework, Franciszek Otto, Miroslaw Adamczyk, Szymon Salinski, Nikodem Pregowski and Rene Wawrzkiewicz, involves presentations of Polish and Belarusian artists in the public space of Minsk. The outdoor exhibition of posters and logo signs focuses on the confrontation of those two basic elements of every designer's emploi. The poster, frequently defined as a most simplified graphic form, a visual riddle, is juxtaposed with the logo - a most radical form of visual sythesis, giving inspiration for endless discussions and workshop activity.
The lectures, discussion pannels and workshops with Polish artists, dedicated to the problems of typography, ID and poster design, constitute the educational part of the festival, meant to present Polish art scene with its diversity of traditions, inspirations and concepts, to the wider Belarusian public.
The programme also features an unusual multimedia performance, an artistic dialogue between Polish visual artist, Micha? Mierzwa, and Pavel Ambiont, a Belarusian dj. The audience will also experience amazing technological sophistication of Pawe? Janicki's interactive installation that enables the viewer to participate in the process of artistic creation.
The posters and logos presented in uncommon formats will also be exhibited in Poland as a part of future design related projects. The www.dialogue-design.eu blog constitutes a virtual channel of the festival activity, presenting documentation of art events and comments.
