“Blisko” (which means “Closeness” in Polish) is one of the “Design to Go” exhibitions produced by Fundacja Bochińskich. The exhibition was designed to fit into a box and be shipped around the country with the intension of increasing awareness of polish design both in the country and worldwide.
Exhibition on-site
With a team of various specialists we were able to create an unique narrative exhibition that brought up the issue of closeness (or maybe more adequately —intimacy) of modern relationships. Through carefully chosen objects by curator Anna Siedlecka, animated movie created by Kulczyński FilmLab and visual identity designed by me (Jakub Koncewicz) we’ve told the story both of polish design and changing characteristics of people’s relations with technology and each other .
Space Between Each Other
Whole narration was told through a lens of space travel. Creating the logo of the exhibition I was drawing inspiration from NASA sign. To accompany it I designed set of five icons each representing one of the presented objects. Together with the objects descriptions they became a part of exhibition’s set design visibly displayed in big scale on black walls.
Window Display
After displaying the exhibition at festival “Bydgoszcz Design Days” it was installed in the local Bochińscy Foundation’s studio and presented once again on Gdynia Design Days festival. For this purpose I had an opportunity of creating a short motion design display on the front window of the studio.
The project was at the same time a chance for collaboration between me and an design intern Nina Kardaś. Together we were able to create an video promoting the exhibition during the Gdynia Design Days festival.
