About
Preferences Of Materials - Material Research in Designer-Maker Studies from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME)
The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is home to world-class education, research and innovation, harnessing creativity to shape a future centered around people. The MOME believes design is a complex artistic activity impacting various areas of economy and culture in multiple ways. This influence is evident in the everyday objects designer-makers create to provide responsible and sustainable responses to address social and environmental challenges and needs, irrespective of the material used.
During the Designer-Maker course, the students apply their practical knowledge of materials in a variety of contexts, from experimenting with materials to making creating autonomous works of art. Building on the strengths of the former Ceramic Design, Jewellery and Metal Design programmes, a new educational structure has been developed which allows students from different specialisations to engage in a research-focused and project-oriented curriculum. The modules of the new programme guide students in navigating the opportunities within a design career. They can choose between Functional and Autonomous design assignments, all of which are centred around exploring and experimenting with different materials.
The exhibition Preferences of Materials presents three sections:
- Functional design - Applied and functionalist design with a focus on problem-solving
- Autonomous art - Methods of self-expression and directions of autonomous art
- Material-oriented mindset - Material research, experimental studies
