15. GRIFON 2025.

U četvrtak, 30. oktobra u 19 časova, u Grafičkom kolektivu svečano se otvara 15. GRIFON – izložba izabranih radova sa konkursa za najbolji grafički dizajn u Srbiji, Republici Srpskoj i Crnoj Gori za 2023. i 2024. godinu. Osnovan 1996. godine u saradnji Grafičkog kolektiva sa Quadra Graphic/ danas SINC NOVATION, GRIFON je pokrenut sa željom da se oživi duh i kontinuitet manifestacije Kontakt, kojom je Grafički kolektiv tokom 70-ih i 80-ih godina 20. veka pionirski oblikovao scenu grafičkog dizajna na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije. Tokom tri decenije delovanja, projekat GRIFON se razvio u jednu od najznačajnijih specijalizovanih bijenalnih manifestacija posvećenih grafičkom dizajnu u regionu. U eri digitalne interakcije i globalnih trendova, grafički dizajn, na preseku umetnosti, tehnologije i komunikacije, ne prenosi samo poruku, već stvara iskustvo i postaje interaktivan, društveno angažovan i višeslojan oblik vizuelne kulture koji istovremeno informiše, inspiriše i preispituje savremeni svet. Izložba Grifon pokazuje upravo tu složenost savremenog grafičkog dizajna.

Na ovogodišnjoj izložbi kroz prisustvo 39 autora i 79 radova u osam kategorija - knjiga i druge publikacije, vizuelni identitet, plakati i oglašavanje, ambalaža, tipografsko pismo, promotivni materijal i hartije od vrednosti, filmska, video i TV grafika, kao i web-dizajn - GRIFON pruža uvid u aktuelnu produkciju i autorska dostignuća, predstavljajući dizajnere čije je stvaralaštvo, obrazovanje ili poreklo vezano za ove prostore. GRIFON ne samo da valorizuje tekuću produkciju već postavlja i profesionalne standarde, otvara prostor za dijalog različitih poetika a publici pruža uvid u to koliko dizajn može da bude relevantan, angažovan i personalno autentičan.

On Thursday, October 30 at 7 p.m., the 15th GRIFON - exhibition of selected works from the competition for the best graphic design in Serbia, Republika Srpska and Montenegro for the years 2023 and 2024 will be officially opened at the Graphic Collective. Founded in 1996 in cooperation between the Graphic Collective and Quadra Graphic/today SINC NOVATION, GRIFON was launched with the desire to revive the spirit and continuity of the Contact event, with which the Graphic Collective pioneered the graphic design scene in the former Yugoslavia during the 70s and 80s of the 20th century. During three decades of activity, the GRIFON project has developed into one of the most significant specialized biennial events dedicated to graphic design in the region. In the era of digital interaction and global trends, graphic design, at the intersection of art, technology and communication, not only conveys a message, but creates an experience and becomes an interactive, socially engaged and multi-layered form of visual culture that simultaneously informs, inspires and questions the modern world. The Griffon exhibition shows exactly that complexity of contemporary graphic design.

At this year's exhibition, through the presence of 39 authors and 79 works in eight categories - books and other publications, visual identity, posters and advertising, packaging, typography, promotional material and securities, film, video and TV graphics, as well as web design - GRIFON provides an insight into current production and author's achievements, presenting designers whose creativity, education or origin is related to these areas. GRIFON not only valorizes the current production, but also sets professional standards, opens space for dialogue of different poetics and provides the audience with an insight into how relevant, engaged and personally authentic design can be.
