Taste MOMEnts

This traveling exhibition, organized by the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, presents a unique perspective by embracing the projects of the most progressive artists currently active in the Hungarian design scene. Instead of focusing on student projects, MOME has invited internationally acclaimed professional designers - graphic artists, photographers, animation specialists, fashion, jewelry and product designers in their 20s and 30s, to display their work and thus the extraordinary creative potential and intellectual capital with which Hungary has contributed to the development of contemporary design culture.

  
About the exhibition

The idea to organize an international traveling exhibition is the result of intellectual cooperation, a 127-year old tradition of our institution, which is a fundamental contributor to the development of visual culture in Hungary. The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design sees design as an entity and thus embraces all of its spatial, object- and image-based areas. Nowadays, design is not only present in industrial production, but in our everyday life, transforming our every moment into interaction with the built environment, appliances, services or communication.

There is an increasing international tendency for nations to define themselves through their design and visual culture.

MOME’s exhibition is one of a kind; it is the only design exhibition in 2008 to embrace such a large scope of art areas, thus connecting Hungary into the mainstream of international design. Its importance is justified as it has been chosen the official opening event of the Hungarian Cultural Week in Helsinki and thus enjoys special ministerial attention.
