This year's GD Triennial theme is Expiration Date. Together we’ll be examining the intersection between graphic design and temporality, and exploring visual communication in a world of constant reproduction and redistribution. A poster for a concert… a flier for an event… The ephemeral nature of graphic design means there is an inevitable shelf life, and this exhibit is an opportunity to resurrect our formally “expired” projects.

Ece Canli is an artist, musician and researcher; born and raised in Turkey and based in Porto, Portugal. Her main tools of investigation include voice, sound, texts and artifacts.

This is the second of three lectures in the Fall 2024 Speaker Series.

Iman Raad is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, designer, and educator. Across his diverse work, Raad brings together a sweeping reimagining of traditional Persian art amidst the interruption of images and narratives in the internet era. Oscillating between disparate areas of knowledge, Raad references a culture indexically rooted within his thoughts. Curiosity is given a place to breathe. Images are fractured or incomplete. Moments from different art histories are filtered into a language of comfort and contented longing; a repetition of imagery and color whose intention is to keep you in a disturbed reality. Through this prism of layers and colors, Raad has found a necessary platform to touch on both the complexities and beauty of cross cultural expression today. Aside from visual art, Raad is also an internationally acknowledged graphic designer—representing the contemporary Persian design and typography movement.
