Stolen in the train (-;
Designblok is an annual design exhibition that takes place in Prague. Pretty much every designer wants to be there. Sadly, lot of stuff it is quite shit as people just don’t care about quality of their presentation, but they prefer just to be there. Thus I’m not sure if it’s worth the time.

At first, the organisation is quite shit – besides two main buildings, you have no idea where to go (it’s even hard to figure out those two buildings). The web is also quite shit – you have no idea where you should go, what is good and what is just crap. Information overcrowd… Secondly, there is not that much to see. Besides that, it’s quite commercial action. It looks like many companies and individuals just buy a place there to show their clothes or overpriced furniture by telling us just this is design, so it must be pricey… And then you make an idiot from yourself and go to the shop and you see what? Nothing… What more, as some exhibition halls are included in the project, they charge extra money for entry besides the money you paid for Designblok. It’s just some ridiculous money for one room with nothing – like DOX – I’m so glad I didn’t go there. Also lot of people dress like from advertisement to look cool (read as to look the same as most others there – young, promising, cool, modern, active, vital – append any modern cliche you can think of). Some people who came to exhibit probably prepared their works just a day before the exhibition. So at the end, you have a feeling that some works were cool, lot of ok design, but at some you ask yourself – what the fuck is this doing here?! The real question is a little different one – is this thing really worth the time? And I’m not really sure about that.
