MOME graphic designers bring the taste memories of generations to life
What do people working in gastronomy and those specialising in design have in common? Professionals in both fields – culinary artists and designers alike – want to create lasting works of art that will live on in the memory of generations of people, and help strengthen communities through shared experiences. Tastes undoubtedly leave lasting, practically indelible impressions in the mind, transforming food into iconic transgenerational products. The collaboration of MOME and PICK is founded precisely on that, and involved asking gifted graphic designers to revisit and capture their own memories of the brand and nostalgic tastes in their own individual way.
In March, these unique prints debuted on canvas tote bags, followed by the launching of the art collaboration between PICK and MOME. The artworks of several generations of alumni as well as current students were evaluated and the best ones were awarded at the opening ceremony on 8 May by a professional jury.
“The joint project provided a great opportunity not only for young artists but also for MOME alumni to present their PICK-themed artworks to the general public. Members of several generations joined this initiative, as seen from the variety of artistic tools and approaches used, enhancing the collective recollection of the taste memories and stories spanning several generations”, commented multiple Graphic Design and Golden Drawing Pin Award-winning graphic designers and curator of the exhibition László Herbszt.
