Introducing Culture Identities
Design for Museums, Theaters and Cultural Institutions
About the book
Museums, theaters and other cultural institutions commissioned the graphic design gathered in this collection credited to Robert Klanten. The work spans poster campaigns, publications and corporate design, much of it made to run across several media. The volume treats this field as one of the most experimental in graphic design, a place where young designers often get their first break and established studios try new forms of visual expression. Feature texts hear from both sides of the commission: designers such as Bureau Mirko Borsche and the New York studio 2x4, and clients including the Barbican, MoMA, documenta and the Van Abbemuseum.
Ella Zheng, partner and art director at The Workbench, contrasted the generally safe design of Singapore's museums with the western experiments it shows, noted that it gives the views of both designers and clients, and said it inspires her to push Singapore's design standards further.

I find Museums and institutions in Singapore are generally very safe in design. This book opens up a whole new world of how western graphic designers are experimenting with new systems of design and the works created are very fascinating. You also get to hear from both the designers and clients view of the design. It inspires me to keep pushing the current standards of Singapore further as the shape of design grows in Singapore. This book is very inspiring for young designers as it will push them to think out of the box. It will let them understand how the designers and clients think about design (like why it is designed in a certain way) and they can learn tips and lessons from them.
