ONE/SIDE MIRROR, the title of the exhibition, refers to the relationship between observer and landscape, visible and invisible. It will reflect the experiencesstudents gained during international workshops in Venice (Erasmus BiP) last year, as well as analyses and observations of the landscape, where the ephemeral and resilient nature of the Venetian landscape became an inspiration.

Experimental projects will be presented – from the areas of small-scale architecture and product design, as the authors’ timely commentary on current circumstances and broadly understood lifestyle.
Of course, the basic material will be glass – a material that is both fragile and indestructible in so many ways.

* The exhibition title also refers to the excellent publication by Prof. Sławomir Gzell:

“(…) Watch and try on what you see, evaluate and learn, admire and envy. Today you are on this side of the mirror, but covet the place on the other side. That’s probably how it works, or should work.” (…)
