25.03.2012 News
Zagreb (Croatia) - The international triennial exhibition of graphic design and visual communications - Zgraf - opened on Thursday 15 March 2012. The Zgraf programme is made up of two main parts: an exhibition reviewing works completed in the past three years (since the last Zgraf exhibition); and, a thematic exhibition presenting works designed for this year's theme 'This used to be the future.' The theme is not offered as a sentence or a question, but as a crossword of notions whose different combinations may present possible starting points for investigating these questions: social, modern, common, welfare, open, for everybody, responsibility, self-initiated, potential/s.
The international jury comprising Niklaus Troxler (Switzerland), Rick Poynor (United Kingdom), Barbara deWilde (United States) and Boris Ljubièiã (Croatia) announced this year's winners including the Zgraf 11 Grand Prix winner awarded to Swiss designers Klaus Fromherz and Martin Gleel (Peng Peng) for their work Werkbeiträg.
The Icograda Excellence Award is awarded to a particular work or a series of works and may be awarded to individual authors or a group of authors for outstanding accomplishments. Zgraf has the right to award this particular award as an Icograda-endorsed event. The international jury awarded the Icograda Excellence Award to Yuri Gulitov (Russia) for his work Beach.
Radovan Jenko (Slovenia) was awarded Zgraf 1 Award for his work 'Le petit festival du thé?tre, Dubrovnik'; Ivan Antunoviã (Croatia) was awarded Zgraf 2 Award for the thematic work 'People you may know.' Zgraf Welcome Award for young designers under 26 was awarded to Hrvoje Þivèiã (Croatia) and Dario Deviã (Croatia) for their work 'Nine Looks.'
