![Design Trust is pleased to announce the #DesignTrustFeatureGrant project "Look: The Graphic Language of Henry Steiner" exhibition, which opens at the HKDI Gallery. The exhibition, which will run from 10th April-30th May, features around 350 designs by Henry Steiner and archival materials. Since Steiner's arrival in Hong Kong in 1961, his keen eye for local visual language has opened a new horizon in the field of graphic communication, contributing to Hong Kong's visual culture in transformative ways. Prolific and pioneering in his approach, Steiner has created some of the most iconic graphic designs that have shaped Hong Kong's visual landscape. Some corporations for which he has created identity systems for include HSBC, Dairy Farm, Hongkong Land and Standard Chartered.
‘Looking is not seeing,’ said graphic designer Henry Steiner. To him, looking is an active quest for solutions. We look to uncover. This exhibition aims to provide a deeper understanding of graphic communication, and Steiner's contribution in graphic design as a profession in Hong Kong since his arrival. Through examining his works from the 1960s through the 2000s, we hope to bring new insights into his approaches, providing an alternative reading of Hong Kong's developments through the evolution of graphic language.
Exhibition information:
Date: 10th April - 30th May 2021, closed on Tuesdays, 11th and 14th April
Address: HKDI Gallery, Hong Kong Design Institute, 3 King Ling Road, Tseung Kwan O, NT
