This event was an introduction to three current projects by Blood Mountain Foundation, a Budapest-based independent organization working at the intersection of contemporary art, architecture and design. Speakers were Tom Sloan, Australian industrial designer and Blood Mountain co-founder, and Jade Niklai, Hungarian-born art historian/curator and Blood Mountain co-founder and director. Workshop was supported by the Hungarian Embassy in Serbia.
During Belgrade Design Week 2009, you enabled participants to meet with representatives from different countries, in professional, as well a sin social settings, which provided the opportunity for spontaneous interactions, where everyone was engaged in true cross-cultural dialogues. This allowed participants from different countries to become familiar with attitudes, ideas, and practices on the common topics of design.
We had received first hand accounts of current situation in creative fields and intellectual status of Belgrade Design Week, exchanged ideas and knowledge, mixed and mingled among each other. And the unique opportunity was given for all of us to establish professional relationships and develop lifelong friendships. We were eager to discover Belgrade and had a unique chance to enjoy the city! No doubt, it was our first, but not our last visit to Belgrade. All the best to Belgrade Design Week for the future to come! We are looking forward to be a part of your success
