Timeless - EXD09 Experimenta Design

Participation on the exhibition Timeless, included in the Design Biennial ExperimentaDesign. This project is the result of a critical reflection of Portuguese social and political visual communication, having as starting point a poster from the Carnation Revolution period (1974). During the process of analysis, an article was written for EXD’s website and the result is a poster that proposes a critical reflection with an “updated” version of a poster displayed in the Museu do Oriente (made circa 1975, unknown author). This poster was displayed in several streets of Lisbon, Portugal. Exhibition curated by Frederico Duarte and Pedrita for EXD09.
For the English version of the article, click under the images or download the PDF. For the original Portuguese article, click here. Poster dimensions: 68 x 98 cm, 2 colours.

Graphic Design Criticism

Exhibition view, Royal College of Art, 2008
Posters + video projection

Introduction: If anything has changed in the world since 1977, when philosopher Paul Virilio wrote his first book on speed, it is that everything has become even faster. Graphic design is no exception.
Economy and technology impose an hallucinating rhythm to society, to culture, to design. This forces the designer to have less time to think and far more areas of art and design to embrace, thus stretching their boundaries.
What remains is the imminent need to move simultaneously in every direction, to move on, to continuously flood cities (and design) with movement. In this sense - while losing its identity - graphic design is, more than ever, a nomadic discipline. There is no time to consider history, only to produce, to deliver.
Inevitably, fastness equals superficiality.
