biodesign Plexus Maddalena Mauri, Kata Mijatović, Nika Radić, Davor Sanvincenti In one of his numerous diary notes, James Boswell, English lawyer and writer, wrote that he fears his soul will lose its recognizable shape in the crisis he has found himself in. In other words, he feared he would psychically lose his shape. Today, thanks to philology, psychology, as well as psychoanalysis, it is known that Boswell suffered from hypochondria and that his fear from losing his shape is just a metaphor for what we prefer to call losing control over one’s life. Brian Dillon points that the root of Boswell’s problems lies solely n the belief that there exists a perfect unity of body and mind, that the body is actually a machine, like a hardware being controlled by the mind, i.e. software. When Boswell wrote his diary, the term subconsciousness is unknown in Western culture, so we can only guess whether the anxiety Boswell felt would have been easier if he knew – like we today know, thanks to the psychoanalytical theory – that there are areas of human life that are impossible to control(...) Mirabilia Yoko Fukushima, Silvio Vujičić, Tatjana Vukelić Mirabilia is the name of this year’s first exhibition dedicated to the relationship between design and art. At the beginning of the modern era, this Latin word denoted phenomena that were difficult to attribute to one of the two general categories: to the natural, God-made world or to the world created by human activity. We believe that in this exhibition the works of Silvio Vujičić, Yoko Fukushima and Tatjana Vukelić have the same kind of hybrid status. In their works, the dilemma is only transferred from the ontological categories of animate and inanimate, Godly and human, to the area of design, which, on the other hand, moved from the traditional position of designing clothes to designing humans. However, in the contemporary world of biopolitics, the works of these artists should not be viewed as moral warnings. Their bio-design only marginally touches upon the ethical aspect of human culture. Although the first reaction to these works may best be represented with the question: Where is the limit to exploiting and cultivating nature?, the general impression of the exhibition is closer to fantasy than to ecology. In other words, there is more than serious social questions in this exhibition; some transparent intimacy, awkward irony, bizarre beauty and irresponsible play(K.Š.)...

biodizajn Mirabilia Yoko Fukushima, Silvio Vujičić, Tatjana Vukelić Mirabilia je ime naše prve ovogodišnje izložbe posvećene odnosu dizajna i umjetnosti. Negdje početkom moderne, ova je latinska riječ označavala pojave koje je bilo teško smjestiti u jednu od dvije generalne kategorije: u prirodni, od boga stvoreni svijet ili u svijet stvoren ljudskom aktivnošću. Držimo da na ovoj izložbi istu vrstu hibridnog statusa imaju i radovi Silvija Vujičića, Yoko Fukushima i Tatjane Vukelić. U njihovim radovima dilema je samo sa ontoloških kategorija živog i neživog, božjeg i ljudskog, prebačena na područje dizajna koji je, pak, s tradicionalnih pozicija oblikovanja odjeće prešao na oblikovanje čovjeka.U suvremenom svijetu biopolitike na radove ovih umjetnika, međutim, ne treba gledati kao na moralne opomene. Njihov bio-dizajn samo se rubno dotiče etičkog aspekta ljudske kulture. Premda se prva reakcija na ove radove može možda najbolje predstaviti pitanjem: Gdje je granica iskorištavanju i kultiviranju prirode?, ukupni dojam izložbe bliži je fantaziji, nego ekologiji. Drugim riječima, više od teške društvene problematike, na ovoj izložbi ima neke transparentne intime, nespretne ironije, bizarne ljepote i neodgovorne igre (K.Š.)...
