Mastering Design
The mudac has made a habit of offering its spaces to recent graduates of the Swiss universities of art and design. The recent decision of Swiss federal authorities to discontinue their sponsorship for our presentation of the winners of the Swiss Federal Design Prizes every two years has incited us to open our doors to the latest generation of European creators, as a way of exploring recent trends beyond our national boundaries.
The Design Academy Eindhoven and the Royal College of Art have a highly innovative approach to design, and neither have any qualms about challenging the conventional functionality of objects. Therefore, both tend to come up with experimental and conceptual pieces imbued with humor and poetry. Hence, we have invited them to invest our exhibition rooms with a selection of projects by their students or recent graduates reflecting their preoccupations: sustainability, social issues, immigration, health, etc.
