Linda van Deursen Objects + Methods Workshop
Attend a workshop with designer Linda van Deursen, co-organized by the ICA and the VCUarts Department of Graphic Design as part of the Objects and Methods lecture series.
In this workshop, Linda van Deursen and six VCUarts GDES graduate students will investigate the makeup of visual communications within art institutions by surveying the label, the wall text, the banner, the poster, the brochure, and similar promotional materials. Through close observation and discussion, participants will explore the nuances of how design interacts with content, space, and audiences within the context of an exhibition venue. Open to eight participants.
