...Since this is a graphic translation of musical notation, the authors have not composed a
structure, rather given shape to a manner of transcribing and communicating the auditory via the visual and so the
compositions themselves create diverse forms on the posters... ...With the
linkage of different fields of meaning and communication, they mediate tradition and ambience, but in such a way
that a new and autonomous value is created, which feeds back to tradition its image refracted and analysed through the
prism of contemporary designer procedures. Design is not a medium of aesthetisation but of interpellation and
interpretation of cultural phenomena and the relation of content and design concept becomes an active
one... Excerpt from the exhibition review by Maroje Mrduljaš |
