{"id":27,"count":16,"description":"I write down key words to describe this year\u2019s degree projects in Graphic Design and Illustration. I write words such as <\/em>place, nature, memories, archive and family<\/em>. Then I write <\/em>constraints<\/em>. Of course, the word <\/em>constraints<\/em> \u2013 or its synonym <\/em>restrictions<\/em> \u2013 has characterised our graduating students\u2019 three years at Konstfack. They have had to adapt to at times stringent constraints regarding access to the school as a place for creation and social interaction. But it is not only because of this that the word is relevant. It is also about constraints as artistic resource, a starting point for exploration and play. \r\n<br><br>\r\nRecurrent in our students\u2019 degree projects is a curiosity about the incomplete, the reluctant and the elusive. Capsized relationships and neglected places. And that which is only fragments of life \u2013 letters and faded photographs \u2013 gives rise to lively dialogue.\r\nHere is a desire to twist and turn materials, objects and places \u2013 to find that which chafes and sticks out \u2013 the mutated flower in the garden and the dying Tamagotchi on the bedside table. The knob in the tree trunk.\r\n<br><br>\r\nOur students\u2019 works show the value of the creative craft. They explore the world and at the same time make it bigger.\r\n<br><br>\r\nJ\u00f6ns Mellgren, Programme Co-ordinator, Graphic Design and Illustration","link":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/category\/bachelor\/bagdi\/","name":"Graphic Design and Illustration","slug":"bagdi","taxonomy":"category","parent":18,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/18"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2022.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
