Giuli Surmanidze processes plastic bags into exclusive handbags conveying us a crafts- and recycling tradition from her home country Georgia where this technique is used for potato sack production.

Rozalb de Mura
Strada Selari nr. 9 – 11 (Lipscani area), Curtea Sticlarilor, etaj 1, sector 3, Bucharest, Rumania
A weary traveller in the Transylvanian woods comes across a bloodied and mummified corpse from an extinct warrior dynasty that in turn symbolises the restructuring of Rozalb de Mura as a label. With the best intentions of finding different creative outlets that aren’t restricted to fashion, we shall have to see what the unwarpped bandages reveal in the future.
Recycling artist ASTON was spotted in Cotonou/Benin an artistic trade and research trip by “TO/YS* ON TOUR” during and as a consequence was invited to steirischer:altweibersommer at “Schaumbad – Freies Atelierhaus Graz”. Fascinated with local trash he takes 36kg of it as his luggage back home and leaves several amazing trash sculptures in Graz, which he created by using “design objects” that were rendered unusable. These sculptures will be exhibited at assembly 2011.
