X Square + BWA DESIGN GALLERY

Knockoutdesign was comissioned by BWA Design Gallery in Wroclaw to create a three weeks long intervention in the space of the gallery and at its backyard. Project was preceded by poll among the passers-by. We inquired about their perception of "X" square and its arteries.
Basing on poll's results, we marked the main ways at the square with yellow paint.
Gallery's back entrance was marked with banner showing the answers of the inquired passers-by. That intervention was supposed to emphasize the back entrance, and get the attention of the population to the gallery's new activism.

AND IT ALL HAS STARTED IN BERLIN...

It seems it was so long time ago, when we have started working on Kapuscinski's path project.
And it all has started in Berlin, on this wall that you can see below on the picture.
We put the pictures of Mokotowskie Fields Park, and surrounded ourselves with Kapuscinski's books and have started to put together the elements of the jigsaw. The construction works of the path are scheduled for Autumn 2009, so stay tunned and come to visit the capital of Eastern Europe in spring 2010, and take a walk between the lines.

UNISEX ON INTERNATIONAL WORKING WOMAN's DAY

Once condom and tampon married to function as a perfect business card holder. One can't be without the other. Tampon designed for women, complies the functionality, ergonomics and low production costs. Condom designed for men, meets with anatomical differences and material resistance. Both objects are the ideal examples of gender-oriented design, based not on cultural and social norms, either on pure functional purposes. Form follows function.
Same was when Unisex was created, the usage of those two materials is not a result of conceptual thinking, but a pure function- based choice of material.
Tampon for women, condom for men, UNISEX for ALL!

Please come see our statement about genderification of design during the "Womanish design/Babski dizajn" exhibition at the Silesian Castle of Art and Enterprise in Cieszyn (Polish-Czech border city). Opening on International Working Woman Day, 8th March 2009, Cieszyn,PL/CZ.

P.S. Our design was influenced by many factors f.ex. place of birth, school, culture, growing up, bionics, chemical substances, "The magic pencil", Fantasy, parents always late, nasty teachers, boyfriends, girlfriends, frustrations of not making it to the surgery studies programme and any other traumas we encountered in our lives, possessing the ovary is one of them, but not the only one.
ENJOY!
