We today (think we do) know what design is; we know his clients, his chroniclers and his audience, but the future rujem I believe that we must consciously include it in the exhibition and direct it through the exhibition, not just follow it.
The disastrous effect of the pandemic on the economic sectors from which most of the clients commissioning Croatian design come is not yet in sight. Croatia, as presented in the 19/20 exhibition, is still a country of “carefree greetings”, i.e. a country characterized by charming creative initiatives and a lively institutional culture, sophisticated hotels and gastronomic offer for connoisseurs. The design scene proves vital in this edition of the biennale despite the absence of a number of well-known names, which should be attributed to the apathy that marked this year.
