Modified Practice was a week-long exhibition held in collaboration with a classmate that explored form and processes within our own respective design practices. Its' mission statement can be read below.
"Graphic design is a discipline that is best understood through its relations to others. As Stuart Bailey noted, "graphic design only exists when other subjects exist first. It is not a priori discipline, but a ghost; both a grey area and a meeting point." Modified Practice can be seen as a response to this constantly fluctuating position. The projects within this show do not deal with graphic design in the most traditional sense of the word, as there is no client, and no brief. Instead, Modified Practice hopes to re-frame viewers' understandings of what graphic design can be through its explorations of the discipline's relation to the museum and to film making. By using design as a point of reference, the individuals in Modified Practice seek ways in which new perspectives can be utilized in both of these forums."
