The Book as an Idea - Conception, Process, and Agency: Research and Exhibition on Editorial Design

Abstract

The book as an idea is the core of an educative project held at the School of Art, Design and Media, Singapore. First, participants are invited to collaboratively research several definitions of “book”. Second, participants are then encouraged to individually propose what their definition of a book is, based on their own personal interests and understanding of the subject. All the process is documented and shared in a gallery setting. The study engages case studies of the outcome of this pedagogical and curatorial project with emphasis on its significance for the individual creative development. Case studies also involve a look at the relevant international exhibition thread of this educational project such as the 11th Biennale Internationale Design Saint Etienne, France; and the 17th Biennale of Sydney, Australia, where this pedagogical project was exhibited.
