rzeczy: o dizajnie
The rzeczy magazine [things magazine] was set up in 1998 at the Faculty of Industrial Design of the Academy Of Fine Arts in Cracow, Poland. First xeroxed, later printed, it currently functions as an independent source of information about design in the polish net under the address http://www.rzeczy.net/.
The magazine is edited by: Michał Drożdż, Andrzej Leraczyk and Kazik Pietruszewski.
Have you got an interesting text or idea?
rzeczy's manifesto
We are like animals – attack is our reaction to pain. It hurts us a lot! What happens in art hurts, what happens in design hurts, what happens around us hurts! Responsibility for the future of design – on the city’s scale, on the country’s scale, on the world’s scale – rests with us. We will wage war against art in order to save it from non-thinking of those who co-create it. We will wage war against design in order to save it from your and our mistaken ideas. However, we will first kick your brain black and blue so that you have got any ideas again.

A. to the art gallery or, even worse, to the museum!,
B. to the role of a prostitute at the service of a dodgy clientele (marketing, advertising),
...but it doesn’t have to be so:

We believe in art.
