"Curating Contemporary Art" Seminar Program
Seminar: Designing A Visual Identity For An Exhibition
Speaker: Ayşegül Çinici Yazıcı
Date: Monday, 28 April 2025
Time: 6:00-7:30 pm
Each exhibition has a spatial setup and a storytelling in this sense. This story is essentially based on the message that the curator wants to convey to his audience. The other person who should absorb the content of this message as much as the curator of the exhibition is, the designer who will create for the visual identity of the exhibition. Designing for an exhibition needs expertise in terms of graphic design as well as architectural design. The design of all printed materials for the exhibition, which helps to establish the link between the artwork-space-audience, is therefore an important process and an integral part of every exhibition. In this seminar, this process and the distribution of the designed elements in the art space will be covered through printed and applied examples.
