Project:  Modern Theory
Sector: Design Exhibition
Country: Belgium
Year: 2012

Modern Theory is a research and discussion platform with a focus on visual culture.

Exhibition

To celebrate the launch of Modern Theory we organised a poster exhibition called ‘Visual Grammar’. Visual Grammar's aim was to articulate the beauty of form and to investigate its principles, functions and consequences in visual communications.

Modern Theory invited ten studios to participate in the exhibition. Each studio in turn had to nominate another studio or designer to take part, adding up to a total of twenty contributors. 

Brief

Participants were asked to research and communicate an aspect of the fundamental components of visual grammar.

Based on their research, they had to create a poster that would visually convey their findings. They were free to interpret the brief in any way they see fit, provided that the poster articulates the concept of visual grammar and conforms to the technical requirements. In addition, they were asked to submit a short rationale for their work.
