AA VS Slovenia Vitanje 2014 - "Vitanje Expo @KSEVT"

AA Visiting School Slovenia, Vitanje July 2014

Vitanje Expo @KSEVT - Community Exposition System

The team addressed objects of activation - in the form of structures, spaces or events - that connect the people of Vitanje and users of KSEVT on a social and emotional level. The connection was activated by a joint participatory exhibition of products by local craftsmen and of photographs taken by residents, based on the initiative of the team: local participants were asked to photograph the representations of KSEVT or Space in their own home environments. The exhibition took place in the multi-purpose foyer of KSEVT and coincided with the final jury and exhibition opening of the AA Visiting School. Vitanje expo @KSEVT has challenged the institution of KSEVT to open up to the needs of the local community. Materialising the exhibition setup, the team used semi reflecting foil to convert generic foyer lighting into spot-lights and rented local wooden slats, half-products of local saw mills, for a flexible, systematically organised and integrated exhibition system.
