DOS Young Designers Award
In collaboration with the Designers Society of Slovenia
Young artist Hana Tavčar's textile art project, Dirty Business, is a witty and innovative narrative about everyday household utensils and work that human society considers inferior.
Brooms, rags, brushes, sinks, dustpans, dustbins are hidden behind cupboards in our day-to-day living spaces, in pantries, under counters, behind doors. By adding various textile elements, the artist places them in a different context, where they come to life taking on a new role; they become inviting, proud, aesthetic and valuable co-creators of a living space, cleansed of prejudice and stigma and elevated to the status of desirable pieces of family heirloom. The project is a highly felicitous fusion of tradition and contemporaneity, which, in addition to social issues, also addresses the field of sustainability and insightfully penetrates the complex psychology of modern man.
