I'm seriously considering this little junket. If you look at the list of participants, you will note that it is a fine opportunity to get to know some of the best minds in European design. Shall we? Check your frequent flyer miles and get back to me.
Here's the information from Jacek Mrowczyk:
The Design Department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice cordially invites all design teachers, researchers, students, alumni and professionals to participate in our 2nd International Design Conference. Entitled "Responsibility in Graphic Design," it will be held January 14-15, 2010 in Katowice at the Roundabout Art Gallery. Accompanying workshops will be held January 11-13.
The registration deadline is December 30, 2009
Participants include:
Filip Bla¸ek - Lex Drewinski - Jonathan Barnbrook - Marjatta Itkonen - Krzysztof Lenk - Karel van der Waarde - and others--
Goals and objectives:
The focus of this conference and workshops is on the notion of "responsibility" as it relates to graphic design professionals and teachers, attitudes in design practice, and scope and methods of education. The conference brings together an international group of academics, students, and professionals. We invite everyone who is interested in shaping civic attitudes and teaching responsible design to take part in the lectures and discussions. Our main objective is to direct the attention of participants to their own work strategies, curricula and teaching methodology, and to inspire research and projects that reflect current thinking on socially responsible graphic design.
