"C-GRAPHIC / TAIPEI" is an exhibition that brings to life the voices and works of ten Taipei-based designers, starting from the contents of the book 'C-GRAPHIC INDEX,' which introduces contemporary graphic designers active in the Chinese-character cultural sphere.
In recent years, many graphic designers from the Chinese-speaking world have gained recognition in international design competitions, and their visuals have increasingly become part of our everyday view through social media. However, a full understanding of the cultural and social backgrounds behind these works is still lacking. 'C-GRAPHIC INDEX' attempts to draw auxiliary lines on the vast map of graphic design in the Chinese-character cultural sphere and make its current state visible.
The "C" in 'C-GRAPHIC' refers to Chinese as a language, specifically the characters themselves. This exhibition focuses on Taipei, where Traditional Chinese characters are used, and introduces graphic design by designers born in the 1980s and 1990s, especially those working in the fields of culture and art.
Where and what did these designers study, and what influences shape their design? How do they live, and with what mindset do they approach their creations? Through the physical display of their works, which cannot be fully conveyed in print, visitors can experience the layered creative backgrounds behind them. Through these works, we hope visitors can experience, both visually and verbally, how Taipei's designers interact with the city and shape the culture of the 2020s.
