Minimalist Exhibition Research

"Objects and Logotypes: Relationships Between Minimalist Art and Corporate Design" was a minimalist exhibition made in the 1980s. On the walls corporate logotypes were displayed, the iconic forms that were meant to project, with a single amalgamation of text and image, a coherent identity of large multinational companies. Whilst on the floor minimalist objects were arranged in juxtaposition, including a steal box and a zinc floor piece.


Similarities between the two styles of design are evident throughout the photographs. "Reductive forms, stark geometries and rigidly consistent proportions prevailed across the exhibition." The style of the room uses lots of negative space and orders things very meticulously. Although this was an exhibition for minimalism it conveys the style as the overall feeling and brand in itself.


We wanted our project to reflect a similar aesthetic of organisation and simplicity, with the prints themselves being a shock of colour in the centre. In order to do this we wanted to use this incredibly organised branding frame as inspiration.
