HUSZĂR KATALIN -Â anyagtervezĆ / material designer
GyerekkĂ©nt imĂĄdta, amikor a mamĂĄjĂĄval nyaranta kristĂĄlycukorral megszĂłrt citromot nyalogattak, kedvenc budapesti pillanata Hop-On, Hop-Off buszon utazni egy kedves ismerĆssel, amikor Ă©pp senki sem figyel, a vĂ©gtelensĂ©gig kiszĂvja a lerĂĄgott fĆtt kukorica levĂ©t, egyszer Lisszabonban elĆzetes szörfoktatĂĄs nĂ©lkĂŒl ment be a nagy hullĂĄmok közĂ©...
As a child, she used to lick sugar coated lemon with her gran, her favorite Budapest moment is when she was on the Hop-on Hop-Off bus with a dear friend, when nobody is looking she sucks out all the juice of the gnawed boiled corn, once in Lisbon she went for the big waves without taking any surf classes beforehand...

Hogyan lendĂŒlsz tĂșl az idĆszakos alkotĂłi vĂĄlsĂĄgon?/How do you overcome a temporary artistic crisis? MostanĂĄban kezdtem megtapasztalni - amit a szabadĂșszĂłk többsĂ©ge biztosan ĂĄtĂ©rez -, hogy alig van lehetĆsĂ©gem Ășgy igazĂĄn, önfeledten alkotni. Az idĆm legnagyobb rĂ©szĂ©t a marketing- Ă©s ĂŒzleti stratĂ©gia tervezĂ©se, illetve az adminisztratĂv jellegƱ munkĂĄk töltik ki. Ăgy ha vĂ©gre valami kreatĂv ponthoz Ă©rek a projektjeimben, ugrĂĄlok örömömben (nĂ©ha szĂł szerint) Ă©s csinĂĄlom. Ha mĂ©gis elakadok, futni megyek vagy utazom. Igyekszem minĂ©l több ingernek kitenni magam - az ĂĄltalĂĄban segĂt tovĂĄbb lendĂteni minden tĂpusĂș elakadĂĄson.
Lately, I started to experience -what most of the freelancers experience as well - that I canât really create freely. Most of my time is consumed by marketing -business strategy planning and administrative work. So, when I finally get to the creative part of my projects, I jump up and down in happiness (sometimes literally), I just go for it. Even if I get stuck, I go for a run or I travel. I try to expose myself to various impulses - this usually helps me to get through any type of blocks.
Kinek mutatod meg elĆször a legĂșjabb alkotĂĄsodat?/Who sees your work first? Szinte csak kreatĂv terĂŒleten tevĂ©kenykedĆ barĂĄtaim vannak, ezĂ©rt valahogy automatikusan elĆször mindig Ćket talĂĄlom meg ezzel.
I almost only have friends also working in creative fields, so automatically I go to them first.
Mi a legkedvesebb gyerekkori emlĂ©ked?/What is your favorite childhood memory? ElĂ©g sok van, nem tudnĂ©k egyet kivĂĄlasztani. ImĂĄdtam pĂ©ldĂĄul nyaranta anyukĂĄmmal vidĂ©kre menni, ahol a mamĂĄm kertjĂ©ben zsenge zöldborsĂłt rĂĄgcsĂĄltam vagy a mĂĄsik mamĂĄmmal âfekete-fehĂ©r-igen-nemâ-et jĂĄtszani, miközben kristĂĄlycukorral megszĂłrt citromot nyalogattunk, rĂĄugrani a âpukkanĂłraâ, amikor apa halat pucolt vagy a tĂĄtika virĂĄgjĂĄt tĂĄtogtatni.
I have quite a few, I couldnât choose a single one. I used to love to go for holidays on the countryside with my mother, where I ate fresh green peas in my grandmotherâs garden, or to play âblack-white-yes-noâ with my other grandmother, while we were licking sugar coated lemons, to jump on air bladder, when my father cleaned fish or to open up the flowers of snapdragons.
Mit szeretnĂ©l, hogy mirĆl emlĂ©kezzenek majd rĂĄd?/What would you like to be remembered by? Mondjuk arrĂłl, hogy jĂłkat nevettek velem, meg hogy, amit kitƱztem cĂ©lul, azt elĂ©rtem.
Maybe that they could have good laughs with me, and that I reached every goal that I set for myself.
GyƱjtesz valamit?/Are you collecting something? SzĂvĂłszĂĄlat (nevet). Illetve mindenfĂ©le mĂĄs anyagot, amit aztĂĄn eredeti funkciĂłjĂĄtĂłl eltĂ©rĆen hasznĂĄlok Ășjra fel.
Straws (she laughs). And all different kinds of materials which then I later use in a completely different context opposed to what it was created for.
Kedvenc budapesti pillanat?/Favorite Budapest moment? VĂĄrosnĂ©zĂ©s a Hop-On, Hop-Off buszon egy kedves ismerĆssel.
Sightseeing on the Hop-On Hop-Off with a dear friend.
Van olyan gyerekes szokĂĄsod, amit akkor csinĂĄlsz, amikor senki nem figyel?/Do you have a childish habit you do when nobody is watching? Az asztalnĂĄl felhĂșzott lĂĄbbal enni vagy a lerĂĄgott fĆtt kukorica csĆbĆl kiszĂvni a vĂ©gtelensĂ©gig a levet - elĂ©g kiĂĄbrĂĄndĂtĂł lĂĄtvĂĄny lehet, de ha egyedĂŒl vagyok, nĂ©ha hajlamos vagyok csinĂĄlni.
To eat at the table with my feet on the chair, or to suck out all the juice from the gnawed boiled corn - it must be a disappointing sight, but when I am alone, I tend to do it anyways.
Mi volt a legnagyobb ĆrĂŒltsĂ©g, amit eddig csinĂĄltĂĄl?/What was the craziest thing you have ever done? Lisszabonban szörfoktatĂĄs nĂ©lkĂŒl bemenni a nagy hullĂĄmok közĂ© szörfözni. Az azĂ©rt elĂ©g meredek volt.
In Lisbon, I went in the big waves without taking any prior surf. That was scary.
Sör vagy bor?/Beer or wine? Bor! Balatonedericsen volt szĆlĆse a papĂĄmnak. MĂĄr egĂ©szen pici gyerekkĂ©nt kiszimatoltam a pincĂ©ben a bor illatĂĄt. SzĂŒretkor Ă©n is lelkesen gyƱjtöttem a szĆlĆt a kis puttonyban, mezĂtlĂĄb tiportam a szĆlĆszemeken Ă©s mustot vedeltem (nevet).
Wine! My grandfather had a vineyard in Balatonederics. As a small child, I already sniffed out the scent of wine in the wine cellar. During harvest, I was eager to collect grape in my little basket, I was stepping on the grapes with barefoot and I was drinking grape juice (she laughs).
Kutya vagy macska?/Dog or cat? Kutya - azĂ©rt mert, hƱsĂ©gesek. BĂĄr azt szoktam mondani, hogy - Ă©pp Ășgy, ahogy az embereknĂ©l - Ășgy igazĂĄn, kutyĂĄbĂłl is csak a jĂł fejeket bĂrom.
Dog- because they are loyal. But I usually say that- the same way as with humans - I only like dogs with good personalities.
Mi az, ami a leginkĂĄbb feltölt?/What can recharge you the most? Igazi hedonista bika vagyok - egy jĂł gasztronĂłmiai Ă©lmĂ©ny mindig fel tud tölteni. FĆleg, ha van mellĂ© jĂł tĂĄrsasĂĄg is.
I am a true hedonist Taurus - a good gastronomical experience always recharges me. Especially when the company is good as well.
Hol leszel 10 Ă©v mĂșlva?/Where will you be in 10 years? RemĂ©lem, mĂ©g ezen a bolygĂłn.
I hope I will still be on this planet.
Kedvenc Ă©tel?/Favorite dish? BoszorkĂĄnytĂĄl Ă©s halĂĄszlĂ©. MindkettĆt apukĂĄm csinĂĄlja a vilĂĄgon a legjobban.
âRagoĂ»t  de SorciĂ©reâ and fish soup. My father makes the best of them both in the whole world.
Kedvenc Ă©vszak?/Favorite season? Tavasz. Nem rajongok a vĂ©gletes idĆjĂĄrĂĄsĂ©rt. Az elsĆ igazi napsugarak beköszöntĂ©vel az emberek is kivirulnak, Ășjra lehet hallani a madarakat Ă©s mĂĄszkĂĄlni a termĂ©szetben anĂ©lkĂŒl, hogy fĂĄznĂĄl vagy megsĂŒlnĂ©l.
Spring. I donât like extreme weather. Along with the first true rays of the sun people also blossom, you can hear the birds again and you can walk around in nature without being cold or too hot.
Mi a legrosszabb tulajdonsĂĄgod?/What is your worst characteristic? Hangulatember vagyok Ă©s sokszor heves vĂ©rmĂ©rsĂ©kletƱ, ezĂ©rt sokan nem is tudnak hova tenni. A legtöbb jelenlegi barĂĄtom flegmĂĄnak vagy flĂșgosnak gondolt elsĆ pillantĂĄsra, aztĂĄn szĂ©pen lassan kiismertek Ă©s rĂĄjöttek, hogy tulajdonkĂ©ppen nem is vagyok olyan rossz fej, mint ahogy az elsĆre tƱnt.
I am a moody person and my temper is often intense, due to this a lot of people donât know how to deal with me. Most of my current friends thought of me being phlegmatic and crazy even, the first time theyâve met me, then later they got to know me and realized that I am not as bad as they initially thought.
Mi az az alkotĂĄs, amit mindenkĂ©ppen meg kell csinĂĄlnod, mielĆtt meghalsz?/What is that one artwork you have to do before you die? Van egy konkrĂ©t kiforrott koncepciĂł a fejemben, ami hangokkal/zenĂ©vel kapcsolatos, de errĆl inkĂĄbb nem akarok spoilerezni, amĂg nincs belĆle kĂ©zzel foghatĂł eredmĂ©ny (mosolyog).
I have a specific, mature concept in my mind related to sounds/music, but I would not like to spoiler it just yet until there is no solid result (she smiles).
Ha egyetlen tanĂĄcsot kellene adni mĂĄs, esetleg mĂ©g kezdĆ tehetsĂ©geknek, mi lenne az?/If you could give only one piece of advice to others, perhaps beginner talents, what would that be? Legyen humorĂ©rzĂ©ke.
Have a good sense of humor.
--------------------------------------- NĂVJEGY - HuszĂĄr Katalin:
â1992 mĂĄjusĂĄban, Vas megyĂ©ben szĂŒlettem Ă©s nĆttem fel. EgĂ©szen pici koromtĂłl fogva vonzottak a kĂŒlönleges struktĂșrĂĄk, kĂŒlönbözĆ felĂŒletek Ă©s a bĆr, mint anyag. Ăgy aztĂĄn a pĂĄlyavĂĄlasztĂĄsnĂĄl a bĆrmƱvessĂ©get vĂĄlasztottam. Az alap diploma megszerzĂ©se utĂĄn, a MOME textiltervezĆ kĂ©pzĂ©sĂ©n anyagkĂsĂ©rletezĂ©ssel kezdtem el foglalkozni. Volt szerencsĂ©m ĂsztorszĂĄg fĆvĂĄrosĂĄban, Tallinnban tölteni egy fĂ©l Ă©vet az Erasmus program keretein belĂŒl, ahol kĂŒlönfĂ©le mƱanyagokkal kĂsĂ©rleteztem. NagyjĂĄbĂłl ekkor kezdĆdött a szĂvĂłszĂĄlakat Ășjra felhasznĂĄlĂł, ânotjustuselessâ projektem is, amin jelenleg is dolgozom. A mesterdiploma megszerzĂ©se utĂĄn aztĂĄn PortugĂĄliĂĄban töltöttem egy teljes szakmai Ă©vet. Tavaly ĂĄprilis Ăłta pedig Ășjra Budapesten Ă©lek. A vĂ©gzettsĂ©geim ellenĂ©re, nem tartom magam sem kiegĂ©szĂtĆ tervezĆnek, sem textiltervezĆnek. Ha definiĂĄlnom kellene magam, talĂĄn inkĂĄbb az anyagtervezĆ szĂłt hasznĂĄlnĂĄm. SzabadidĆmben is imĂĄdom az Ășj, innovatĂv anyagokat tanulmĂĄnyozni Ă©s elgondolkodni ezek felhasznĂĄlĂĄsi lehetĆsĂ©gein.â
âI was born in May 1992 and raised in Vas county, Hungary. Since I was a very small child I was attracted to special structures, different kind of surfaces and leather. So, when choosing a profession I chose to be an accessory designer. After achieving my BA diploma, I started to deal with material experimentation at the textile department at MOME (Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design). I had the chance to spend half a year in the Estonian capital, Tallinn as an Erasmus student,  where I was experimenting with different kinds of plastics. Approximately this was the time when my ânotjususelessâ project began, where I reuse straws and I am still working on this even today. After achieving my Masterâs Degree I spent a whole professional year in Portugal. Since last  I live in Budapest. In spite of my education, I consider myself neither an accessory designer nor a textile designer. If I would have to define myself, maybe I would prefer to use the word: material designer. In my free time, I love exploring new, innovative materials and think about the possibilities within them.â
