Do it - China 2021
Award: Shortlist
Shortlist / Book Design / Culture, Art & Design Books / 2022
Do It – China 2021 is a project jointly curated by two well-known curators, which includes the proposals of 108 Chinese artists. To emphasise its Chinese context, the book is a direct reference to Water Margin, an ancient Chinese novel about 108 rebels. Here, the 108 artists included in the book represent the 108 heroes of the Chinese art underworld. The artists' names are printed on the outer margin in alphabetical order which forms a strong visual index. It is like a sculpture that reflects the influence of Chinese contemporary art.
What did the judges have to say?
"I love the fun and contemporary design that is inspired by calendars. The binding, the choice of paper and the printed edges are on point – making it a beautiful and inviting object."
