Talk:Communicate: Independent British Graphic Design since the Sixties

Hi all,

... i am afraid I am still finding my way around things ... hopefully what I am doing is the right thing to do.

Obviously I would argue for the notability of the subject "Graphic design" but I would like also to defend the notability of the exhibition. It is in fact is one of the few instances where the subject got to the forefront of the general public interest. The exhibition, promoted by the British Council, was held at major venues in the UK, Switzerland and China:


 * Museum Fur Gestaltung, Switzerland 18 Mar - 7 May 06
 * Guangzhou Museum of Art, China 29 Apr - 15 May 05
 * Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Centre, China 2 -19 June 05
 * Chongqing Three Gorges Museum, China 29 Jul - 14 Aug 05
 * Millennium Monument- Beijing, China 16 Sept - 9 Oct 05
 * Barbican Art Gallery, London, UK 16 Sept 04 - 23 Jan 05

a significant catalog for the exhibition was published by Laurence King Publishing:


 * http://www.amazon.com/Communicate-Independent-British-Graphic-Sixties/dp/030010684X

and was reported in the national and specialist press in the UK (for the Swiss and Chinese section of the tour I am afraid language is a bit of an obstacle):


 * http://www.eyemagazine.com/review.php?id=117&rid=555 (Eye Magazine, Issue 55)
 * http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2004/aug/28/art (The Guardian)

Finally Rick Poynor is a distinguished design historian and arguably the exhibition is his most important achievement.

As the author of the article I do not want to continue adding information if the consensus is for the not-notability of the event ... but with the information I am adding here I hope to find in you (and possibly others) a supporter of its notability.
