Surface Anomaly
New Explorations in Poster Design
Recognizing the exciting opportunity to stage Surface Anomaly at a gallery in Seoul, South Korea, I proposed the exhibition.
With Surface Anomaly as the guiding concept, I questioned: What would an anomaly in the exhibition space look like?
CONCEPTBy designing the structures that visitors take home after the show, it transforms them into part of their personal space. By reintroducing them into the everyday lives of the visitors, It explored the concept of how an exhibition could extend beyond the gallery, blending into people's daily lives in an unexpected way.
EXHIBITION
CURATORIAL STATEMENTAn anomaly disrupts the expected. It unsettles, provokes, and transforms perspective. Surface Anomaly showcases experimental poster works by students from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) enrolled in the fall 2024 term of Newly Formed, a course that explores materials, strategies, and tools through the lens of graphic design.
Responding to the concept of "Anomaly," the works in the exhibition embrace unpredictability through generative and iterative approaches to form-making. Unconventional typographic systems, unexpected juxtapositions of color and scale, and bold compositional disruptions offer a study of form as surface.
Exhibited at NOTHINGISREAL in Seoul, Korea, the exhibition brings together visual experiments that challenge assumptions and celebrate the irregular, demonstrating how anomalies can become catalysts for innovation and beauty. Publications from Draw Down Books, including rare printed materials produced by earlier Newly Formed students, offer a glimpse into the evolution of creative approaches within the course.
