Graphic and spatial design are constitutive forces in the process of institutional building. A series of workshops and presentations will explore how the institution identity is produced through visual languages and spatial articulations. The programme brings together various design practitioners who take an experimental, speculative, and critical approach to design expanding their practice in close collaboration with art institutions. Looking into the convergence between the languages of art and design, such a programme aims to challenge the understanding of design beyond its utilitarian role as service provider. It will explore how designers respond to an institutional brief, how they challenge and deconstruct it positioning design as a field of critical inquiry.

This presentation is part of the public programme of The Making of an Institution.
