Best Of Contemporary Italian Social & Cultural Graphic Design

Co-curators

Cristina Chiappini and Alexandra Sankova

Venue

Red October, Bersenevskiy pereylok 2, building 1

Second floor, Chocolate Manufacture

The event is the first of the 2011 exchange programme Italy and Russia for graphic design, initiated by AIAP Lazio - Italian Association of Communication Design and the Association of Poster Designers of Moscow.

The event is part of the official program of the Year of Russian Language and Culture in the year of Italy and Italian culture and language in Russia – 2011.

The exhibition gathers a selection of posters of the most successful and innovative contemporary Italian graphic designers dedicated to social and cultural issues. The Red October gallery hosts several generations of established and emerging Italian communication designers and agencies. 

The show features posters for a variety of contexts: institutions, exhibitions, public events, social campaigns, social happenings, political dissent movements, and self-generated research.

Within the exhibition, a special section is dedicated to the international work of Fabrica, the Benetton Research Centre. The posters of the centre, commissioned by UNWHO, UNICEF, the World Bank and others, address the Earth's most urgent social challenges. 

The designs exposed in the show are a mirror of contemporary Italian visual language. The selection includes from the most radical and minimalist in form to the conceptually sophisticated and non-conventional, from the ironic to the dissenting.

Spaghetti Grafica2

Spaghetti Grafica 2 Inaugurazione 25 novembre 2009 ore 18.30

Dal 26 novembre al 10 gennaio 2010, Triennale di Milano: Triennale Design Museum e Ministero della Grafica presentano Spaghetti Grafica 2, una grande collettiva dedicata alla grafica italiana, che vede la partecipazione di un selezione di 95 studi fra quelli che hanno aderito al secondo bando di concorso.


Triennale Design Museum e Ministero della Grafica presentano Spaghetti Grafica 2, una grande collettiva dedicata alla grafica italiana, che vede la partecipazione di un selezione di 95 studi fra quelli che, nello scorso gennaio, hanno aderito al secondo bando di concorso lanciato dal Ministero della Grafica.
Attraverso 125 progetti selezionati tra i 1300 arrivati da tutte le regioni d’Italia, la mostra è un viaggio alla scoperta della grafica italiana, che ne documenta gli sviluppi recenti e la capacità di rinnovarsi costantemente portando avanti una grande tradizione.
L’allestimento prevede una divisione in tre spazi: un’area progetti con la selezione dei lavori, un’area di incontro e scambio dove consultare i portfolio dei singoli studi, una mostra fotografica con immagini scattate dai designer dentro il loro ambiente di lavoro.
La mostra si presenta come un grande racconto di progetti e di esperienze dove è possibile vedere, approfondire e scoprire il backstage di ogni lavoro. Si tratta di un racconto corale fatto di immagini, segni e pittogrammi che diventano i principali protagonisti.
