On Display: How Graphic Design Shapes Us at Museum Angewandte Kunst
The exhibition 'On Display: How Graphic Design Shapes Us' is currently featured at the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt. It explores the societal aspects of graphic design and its impact amidst political, technological, and social transformations. Works by artists such as Robin Coenen, Danielle Rosales, Aline Bavier, Sophia Becker, Anja Kaiser, and Rebecca Stephany are included. This showcase emphasizes the omnipresence of graphic design in everyday life—from food packaging and digital interfaces to billboards and navigation systems—affecting perception, understanding, emotion, and behavior, often without our awareness.
