Út a sikerhez – A Moholy-Nagy László Formatervezési és a Kozma Lajos Iparművészeti ösztöndíjasok 2009. évi beszámoló kiállítása
2010. február 4-én beszámoló kiállítás nyílik a húszéves Moholy-Nagy László Formatervezési és a Kozma Lajos Kézműves Iparművészeti ösztöndíjasok munkáiból az Iparművészeti Múzeumban. A formatervezés, a design kitüntetett szerepet tölt be mindennapjainkban. A tetszetős forma, a párját ritkító műszaki tartalom azonban csak akkor hasznosulhat társadalmi szinten is, ha a felhasználó igényei, a gyártó üzleti érdekei és az alkotó elképzelései egybecsengenek, és a tervek valóban piacképes termékké válnak. Ennek megvalósulásában nyújt komoly segítséget a Moholy-Nagy László Formatervezési Ösztöndíj, amely évente 15 fiatal tehetség pályájának indulását, szakmai kiteljesedését és önálló alkotói munkáját hivatott támogatni.

Bauhaus – A Conceptual Model
Ninety years ago, Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus in Weimar. It existed for only 14 years, but it became the most important school of modernity. With Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Gerhard Marcks, Adolf Meyer, Georg Muche, László Moholy-Nagy, Hinnerk Scheper, Oskar Schlemmer, Joost Schmidt, Lothar Schreyer and Gunta Stölzl, a faculty with an international reputation worked under the direction of Walter Gropius (1919-1928), Hannes Meyer (1928-1930) and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1930-1933) at the Bauhaus.
The Bauhaus is Germany’s most successful contribution to international art and culture of modernity in the early 20th century. More than 75 years after it was closed in Berlin, the reputation of this inter-disciplinary school for architecture, design, visual and performing arts that moved to Dessau in 1925 continues to be as internationally significant as ever. The vibrancy and impact of the Bauhaus during its existence and after its dissolution in 1933 demonstrate that although the Bauhaus, as a laboratory and workshop of modernity, was destroyed by a deliberate political act, it was exactly that circumstance that enabled it to unfurl its global influence – history’s irony.

New Conductive Fiber complexes nano-size metallic fine particles into a fiber and raises conductivity by reducing the distance between particles and broadening the conductive area. Also, because it has conductive function inside its fibers, the material is able to prevent a decline in conductivity due to flexing, friction, and salt corrosion, the conventional issues related to conductive fibers, and can enlarge the applicable area.
