From Alice Twemlow’s great post on Design Observer about the GTF show at the Art Institute of Chicago: “Graphic design has been displayed in museums as art, as cultural or historic artifact and as consumable commodity, but rarely in a way that reflects its full complexity as a functioning entity embedded within systems of use. Here, using the display mechanism of the institutional bulletin board, GTF have presented their work as information.” As a long-time GTF fan, I can’t wait to check out this show when I’m in Chicago in a few weeks.
