BIO 50 group Nanotourism, (re)searching new forms of tourism, received the Best Collaboration Award at the Opening night of BIO 50, the Biennial of Design in Ljubljana, Slovenia.


Ljubljana, Slovenia, 2014-10-01 –

18 September, the opening evening event of BIO 50, started with a lecture and talk on Designing everyday life with Alice Rawsthorn, Justin McGuirk and Jan Boelen, followed by the grand opening of BIO 50 and the award ceremony when the BIO 50 jury proudly announced group Nanotourism as the winners of the Best Collaboration Awards of BIO 50.

 

Among the eleven groups, brought together by the experimental framework that shaped BIO 50 curated by Jan Boelen, the BIO 50 jury, comprised of industrial designer Konstantin Grcic, design critic Alice Rawsthorn and designer and professor Saša J. Mächtig, selected four award-winners. The BIO 50 Award was given to projects by Nanotourism group led by mentors Tina Gregorič and Aljoša Dekleva. “From a collaborative perspective, Nanotourism is both ambitious and highly complex and has dealt with a range of local communities with sensitivity and charm, while demonstrating the ever more eclectic nature of design and its potential to improve the quality of everyday life,” explained the jury in their report.

 

Groups Designing Life, reinterpreting the relationship between design and science in a provocative and polemical way, Engine Blocks, making an intriguing contribution to the emerging culture community of D.I.Y. makers, and Fashion System that raises awareness of a neglected Slovenian resource, received Honourable Mentions. “In an intensely turbulent era when we face radical, potentially destructive changes on so many fronts, BIO 50 plays an indispensible role in suggesting possible solutions”, also highlighted the BIO 50 jury. The winners and honourees were greeted by the diverse crowd of designers, architects, companies, institutions’ representatives, partners, museum’s visitors and design enthusiasts who attended the opening of the Biennial of Design to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

 

The processes and projects developed by each of the eleven BIO 50 groups can be seen at the exhibition  BIO 50: 3, 2, 1 … TEST. The main exhibition is further enhanced by the retrospective exhibition The Biennial of (Industrial) Design over 50 Years, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Biennial of Design in Ljubljana and complemented by BIO 50: NOW, a lively program of various side events during the biennial. BIO 50 exhibition will be displayed until 7 December 2014 at the Museum of Architecture and Design, Jakopič Gallery and Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana.

 

For this year’s edition, the Biennial has maintained strong connections with the main partners, sponsors and supporters. Their support allows establishing a new, innovative form of the Biennial as a highly relevant international design event. The main partners of the BIO 50 became the Regional Development Agency of the Ljubljana Urban Region and its Regional Creative Economy Centre and company Eles, d. o. o.
