This one-day event celebrates the life and legacy of Dom Sylvester Houédard, the Benedictine monk and concrete poet who was a pivotal figure in an international constellation of artists in the 1960s.
On the occasion of the launch of About Graphic Design, Richard Hollis gave an inspiring lecture followed by a lively Q&A with Nicholas Serota and the audience at the Whitechapel Gallery.
The first (pre-)launch of Graphic Design: History in the Writing (1983–2011) was a huge success thanks to our friends and event hosts Iaspis in Stockholm.
The history of graphic design is slowly being written. How do topics emerge, what are the research methods and how do we make sure that knowledge is shared?
