A3.Format "Citizen's Handbook: Culture of Complaint" 2010. Presentation & invitation for artists:
First publication from the "Citizens handbook: culture of Complaint 2010" series will be ECO ISSUE Vol:05, an environmental issue dealing with the relations between mass consumerism and devastation of our ecosystem. The best 30 works will be featured in our publication while the large number of rest works will be presented at the exhibition at Heinrich Böll Foundation, Berlin in mid 2010.
Assignment for the public competition regarding the ECO ISSUE Vol:05 will be pattern, in other words creation of the best visual pattern that deals with problems of ecology, mass consumption, environmental protection and other problems regarding the man-nature relation. Each page of the publication will have a special cut-in handle, thus bearing a visual resemblance to the plastic bag, although your patterns will altogether form a specific paper bag collection. This way we will promote bags that are much easier to recycle and promote young talents and this type of design which is still to be embraced by our societies. At the very end A3.Format will present slogans for each of your "bags", motivational messages that will work as a campaign for positive consumer habits and healthier attitude towards nature and environment… more important – let's not drown in the ocean of plastic bags!
