Grafikfreunde Stuttgart - exhibition

Grafikfreunde Stuttgart (Friends for Graphic Art, Stuttgart) were founded in October 2003, when ten self-employed graphic designers and artists, who had previously met at the State Academy of Art and Design in Stuttgart, felt the need for a common basis to work out new perspectives in visual communication.
The Friends work in many areas: poster design, editorial design, typography, illustration, information graphics, corporate design, photography.. This variety of interrelating disciplines invites coproduction, as can be seen in their first joint exhibition, where graphic design in all its aspects is presented in collaborations and solo works. There will be posters, magazines, packagings, fonts, photographs, and illustrations. The icing on the cake will be a presentation of entries for an intern competition and a documentation of Freunde-related events.
