Deadline: 15 September 2009
Beijing Typography Exhibition 2009 (bt'09), one of the official exhibitions of Icograda World Design Congress 2009 in Beijing, is now seeking design submissions under the theme of ‘Typography, Unity with New Life.’
Chinese characters symbolise both words and images, indicating sound and meaning. In its five thousand-year history as a language system that incorporates pictograms, ideograms and phonograms, the Chinese language has evolved into a highly sophisticated writing culture, illustrated by the creation of the first form of (wood-based) printing.
Furthermore, the idea of calligraphy as a sophisticated art has influenced many countries worldwide. Over the last 30 years, however, a new set of technological difficulties have been faced and overcome, including the migration from traditional writing and mechanical systems into a digitalised one.
To showcase the research and international efforts of the past couple of years, as well as the re-thinking of the complex nature of typographic art, bt'09, an exhibition founded on the theme of ‘Typography, Unity with New Life,’ will take place as part of the Icograda World Design Congress Beijing 2009. This will be one of the most influential and largest graphics exhibitions to take place in China to date.
The deadline for submissions is 15 September 2009.
