designers' task force
The premiere of the unique comic book "Kompot" took place on 14 December, in the Warsaw club Chłodna 25. There were guests from Israel, discussion of stereotypes, a film from behind the scenes, good music and “vodka kompot”. The Israeli premiere will take place on 18 December, in the Spaceship Gallery, Tel Aviv, and on 20 December in the Cartoon Museum in Holon.
From July to September 2008, the museum in Holon presented an exhibition foreshadowing the publishing of the book. On display were, among others, sketches, scripts and scenarios, as well as works by Israeli and Polish artists participating in the project. Now the book in a Polish-Hebrew language version will be available in bookstores in both countries.
