What catches the eye of a graphic designer? How does the eye focus on the book and typographic details from this perspective? What does it mean to investigate as a designer? These are questions that kept the graphic design students busy while looking through Belgian avant-garde magazines.
This part is an annex to the Unpacking Tschichold’s Library exhibition. This presentation offers a contemporary and local response in which students have interpreted historical material to make it their own. The exhibited work is the result of a four-day workshop with graphic design students. Additionally, a selection of Belgian magazines is on display, such as La Cité (1919-1935) or Het Overzicht (1921-1925) from the archive of the Kunstenbibliotheek.
