LE SIGNE

Our work Quirky Cruise takes part in De Toutes Façons, an exhibition in Le Signe, Centre National du Graphisme (FR), in an exhibition on graphic design and textiles. During the opening 17 October 2019 we organize a performance. Hop on board!

17 October 2019–22 March 2020

The plasticity of fabric makes it possible for it to interact with its environment. Worn on bodies, flying in the wind, in three or just two dimensions, the designers play on these qualities. Graphic designers, whose art consists in laying out messages, indulge in taking up this medium and imagine flags, diverted garments or trompe l’œil finery.

The exhibition designed by the studio GGSV, immerses the visitor into a succession of five phantasmagorical period rooms, from the Haunted House to the Technicolor room, each staging works of the participating artists. These textile objects question the notions shared by graphic and textile design, namely of their use, representation, texture and pattern. 

Particitpating artists: Wendy Andrey, Giada Ganassin, Maarten Baas, Buro Belén, Sybille Berger, Raphaël Barontini, Lou Buche, Romain Coppin, Das Leben am Haverkamp, Laureline Galliot, Studio GGSV, Elsien Gringhuis, Aliki van der Kruijs, Aurélie Mathigot, Malak Mebkhout, Lucy Hardcastle, Studio Job, Xenia Lucie Laffely, Superpoly, Nicole Crême, Robert Stadler, Faye Toogood and Studio Twice.
