Evento organizado por alunos e docentes do curso de Design Gráfico e Multimédia que conta já com 8 edições. Visa reflectir sobre design, seus conteúdos e intervenientes — designers, sociedade e mercado — através de conferências, masterclasses, workshops, exposições e uma feira de objectos de autor. O programa é desenhado para estimular a criatividade e a partilha de experiências entre alunos, profissionais e docentes. Pretende complementar a componente lectiva e, providenciar inspiração através da revelação de práticas e competências em diferentes momentos e áreas do design de comunicação, contribuindo para um maior enriquecimento do conhecimento e competências dos alunos.
No.Zine is an independent arts zine, released in series and featuring a variety of young artists, designers, writers, photographers and illustrators. Each issue is conceptually centred around it’s issue number. Really nicely produced and designed by Patrick Fry.
Jan Tschichold had suggested to award the most beautiful Swiss books in 1943. Only, for the years of 1946, 1947 and 1948 there is already a gap in the series – no books were entered or awarded. This gap and its context served as an interesting starting point for an exhibition serieswhich discussed book making and book design in Switzerland, particularly from that time, but also linking to the actual situation.
The exhibition was realized by Roland Früh, Corina Neuenschwander and Jenny Eneqvist and the swedish designer Fredrik Paulsen developed the furniture design.
With the exhibitions and events, they collected a large amount of documentation and took this as the opportunity to realise a publication. In 14 short statements experts like Jost Hochuli, Christoph Schifferli, François Rappo, Nicole Udry, Julia and Klaus Born and many more, explain their selections. These are short stories where to follow their personal interest for and relation to books. Further authors such as Severin Rüegg, Philipp Messner, Noah Stolz and Patrick Gosatti write about a more specific topic, starting from the different aspects of book production and design that were discussed during the events.The aim of the book is to take the discourse a step further and although they will add a precise selection of historical sources, the publication should not be a history book, but a contemporary comment on what is crucial for the making and designing of books, back then, and today. Give your support.

very excited to have some work in this upcoming show, which also features work by artists like Adam Cruces, Barnie Page, Bonjour Jean Jacques, Daniel Littlewood, and Travis Stearns.
“We are excited to announce the ReVision Arts Collective will have it first NYC show on Thursday, May 24th at the 7,000 sq ft gallery of Center 548. The ReVision Art Collective premiere exhibition will also include works from the “Voyeurism” Exhibition. It explores 360° design in which one theme is applied, expanded and expressed using various types of mediums. This theme is inspired by the current advancements of a more intrusive form of social networking and on the current state of profile based online relationships.”

Solution Greece?
Zak Group
25th May – 16th June, 2012
OMMU presents the first exhibition in Greece by the London-based design office Zak Group. For the exhibition, Zak Group presents the Sternberg Press Solution series, edited by Ingo Niermann and designed by Zak Group beginning in 2008.
The Solution series invites authors to develop an abundance of compact and original ideas for countries and regions, contradicting the widely held assumption that after the end of socialism, human advancement is only possible technologically or requires a yet-to-be-established world order. In Solution 9: The Great Pyramid, Niermann writes: “When I told Rem Koolhaas about my title idea for the book series, he seemed earnestly alarmed. ‘Solution’ is a word he never uses. He demonstrated how his hand automatically begins to shake as soon as he even wants to write it.”
Zak Group is a London-based design office founded in 2005 by Zak Kyes; in 2012 Grégory Ambos joined as partner. The studio’s work has been included in the 22nd International Biennale of Graphic Design (Brno, 2009), “Graphic Design for and Against Cities” (Corner College, Zurich, 2009), “The Malady of Writing” (MACBA, Barcelona, 2009), “Wide White Space” (CCA Wattis, San Francisco, 2011), and “Graphic Design Worlds” (Triennale Design Museum, Milan, 2011).
For the exhibition OMMU has produced 25 + 10 A.P. limited edition two-color screen prints for sale through the bookshop titled “Solution Greece?” by Zak Group with Ingo Niermann.
