Miro Žbirka: Years and Days
The “Miro Žbirka: Years and Days” exhibition, held at the National Museum in Prague and the Slovak National Museum in Bratislava to celebrate the musician’s 70th birthday, retrospects the iconic Miro Žbirka (1952–2021). The exhibition’s architecture mimics stage trusses typical of pop music concerts, presenting Žbirka’s life and career through collages of photos, objects, and personal items displayed on 28 panels sealed in foil on robust metal structures. The setup also features concert equipment containers, commemorative texts, and authorial videos. The exhibition was initiated by Katarína Žbirková. The concept and architecture of the exhibition was prepared by Qubus Design Studio. Preparing the visuals, Slovak graphic designer Matúš Buranovský, a close associate of Qubus, revived a typeface typical for fanzines in the 1970s. A limited collector’s edition of four hand-blown MEKY glass vases was also created for the exhibition.
