Graphic Design in Japan - Mapping
Presenting eighteen contemporary studios and designers, ‘Graphic Design in Japan’ aims to outline what constitutes the quality, diversity, and significance of the Japanese graphic design scene today. In seeking to understand its distinctive features, rather than attempt to trace the history of the field, graphic designer and curator Alexandre Dimos offers an examination of the country’s unique context, particularly in terms of the interactions and fluidity between vernacular and academic culture, and the absence of hierarchy this entails. In Japan, designers operate free from compartmentalisation between different sectors or specialisms, working across both cultural and commercial fields.
