GRAPHIC DESIGN : HISTORY IN THE WRITING (1983-2011)

Thursday 24 May, from 7 to 9pm

This Thursday evening, castillo/corrales has the pleasure of inviting you to the launch of the reader Graphic Design: History in the Writing (1983–2011), published by London-based publisher Occasional Papers (www.occasionalpapers.org). The book will be introduced by its co-editors, Catherine de Smet and Sara De Bondt.
The first anthology of its kind, Graphic Design: History in the Writing (1983–2011) comprises some of the most influential published texts about graphic design history. The book documents the development of the relatively young field of graphic design history from 1983 to today, underscoring the aesthetic, theoretical, political and social tensions that have underpinned it from the beginning.
