✔ Catch-Up Conference
A playful interpretation of a symposium. An accessible examination of applied arts over the course of two afternoons, each featuring a talk, round-table discussion & exhibition. Exploring design, illustration, Art direction & self publishing.
Daytime events require online booking, and are limited to 30 spaces per event. Evening exhibitions are free and open to general public.

Throughout the daytime event, the display will be used as a practical frame of reference to support the talk(s), using the exhibition rather than a projected slideshow to present information about their career. The gallery walls will form a journey through the narrative of their work, a physical manifestation of interpretative information encouraging viewers to picture their progression. Both exhibitions will feature a cross-section of carefully arranged work, pictures, reference material, literature & text-based ideological notions produced & gathered by the daytime speaker(s).
