Curated by London based designer Zak Kyes, Forms of Inquiry: The Architecture of Critical Graphic Design brings together new works by a range of international graphic designers who base their work in critical investigation. The exhibition features projects that have originated as self-propelled inquiry, either professional or personal, and have been developed into a myriad of media and forms including typography, writing/curatorial projects, installations, interactive works, publications and speculative proposals, that draw a relationship between architectural and graphic design.
