About this exhibition :
Health is a condition of the body and mind. The term has gained large media coverage in recent years, introducing a whole new social conscious toward wellbeing. While the media affirms that its information is passed as impartial it delivers a confused model of health, predominantly between its offer of dietary advice and its unscrupulous access into celebrity weaknesses. With every statement concerning health, questions or counter-statements are raised; this goes to show that the term ‘health’ is ambiguous and amorphous, defined by the individual’s sense of their personal condition. In turn, this is a reflection of design, on how we perceive pure, flawless, ‘healthy’ work,
Design and health both embody tangible and intangible facets; while its form is evidently present in our environments, often our needs as designers for structure and clarity must come from the same formless conditioning we recognize as health. Understanding that health is a key aspect to design became elaborated during the late period of modernism, where wholesome ideals were transcended into both business and leisure activities.
The conscious decision-making when designing, is our way of finding personal resolve and vitality. It is common amongst graphic designers that once a complete piece of work has gone to print that there is a lack of personal fulfillment; it appears that a designer needs more than a printed outcome to feel that their work
is complete.
