Off the Grid
In Off the Grid, graphic designer Sara De Bondt explores the origins of graphic design in Belgium in the 1960s and 70s, a history which has largely been undocumented until now. The exhibition stages a wide and rich array of printed matter, logo objects, self-published book sculptures and poster designs 鈥� most of them never exhibited before 鈥� by designers such as Paul Ibou, Corneille Hannoset, Boudewijn Delaere, Sofie Alouf, Rob Buytaert, Herman Lampaert and Jeanine Behaeghel among many others.
The works on display are contextualised by Sara De Bondt鈥檚 own experience as a practising graphic designer today and explore how contemporary aspects of graphic design, such as hybridity and authorship, can be better understood from a historical perspective. Several new works were produced for the exhibition, and together with furniture designer Michael Marriott a special display system was created.
