Wim Crouwel Fascinated by the grid December 14, 2017 - March 17, 2018 The exhibition is the first overview of the work of Dutch graphic designer Wim Crouwel in Japan. Crouwel(Born in 1928)began his career in 1952 as an exhibithion designer but is most noted as the graphic designer of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam(1963-1984). His reputation also rests on his experimental computer alphabet, stamps and calendars. In 1963 he was a co-founder of Total Design, a large multidisciplinary design agency. It introduced Swiss modernism and corporate identity in Holland. Crouwel has also been active as a teacher, writer and lecturer. As a graphic designer Crouwel propagated rational and systematic design using grids. In his opinion a designer should have an objective attitude working on information design. His views helped shape a new paradigm and have contributed to a lively design climate. Crouwels oeuvre testifies to over half a century of work in a highly consistent manner, uniting theory and method with an unprecedented lebel of poetry and aesthetics. gallery talk December 14.2017 Thu 16:00-17:30 Speaker: Carolien Glazenburg(Curator of Graphic Design, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam) Venue: kyoto ddd gallery
