Success in the competition KRUHY NA VODE
8. December 2024Martina Pospíšilová, a graduate of the Product Design studio, succeeded with her diploma thesis in the international competition oriented on craft, KRUHY NA VODE 2024, where she impressed the expert jury and won 3rd place in section A.
The international craft-oriented design competition KRUHY NA VODE is a platform for confronting new works that seek inspiration from traditional artistic creations. ÚĽUV has been organising it at two-year intervals since 2000. Its mission is to develop a dialogue about traditional values, their preservation and innovation in contemporary craft, applied art and design. The aim is in turn to look for possible intersections and to initiate collaboration between craftsmen and professional designers. A selection of the best works submitted to the current 12th edition of the competition will be presented at the ÚĽUV Gallery Bratislava from 14 November 2024 to 7 March 2025. After that, the exhibition will travel to the Gallery G18 in Zlín or the ÚĽUV Gallery in Košice.
The motif of the ellipse as a symbol of eternity and togetherness and the traditional family rituals associated with the Christmas season inspired Martina Pospíšilová to create a collection of interior symbols of Advent and Christmas – Propoj.
