Description:

Outside In: An International Poster Exhibit is a full-color catalog of posters by 25 designers worldwide who participated in a travelling exhibit addressing the impact of cultural difference on contemporary design practice. Its goals were twofold: to focus on the role of the outsider as a visual practitioner with heightened sensitivity, and to promote gallery-based graphic design as a legitimate element of professional practice. The book includes an essay written by the curator and documents all the posters from the exhibit. Participating designers: Bjorn Akselsen, Frederick Bower, Matthew Cassity, Jaewon Chong, Eric Cruz, Maya Drozdz, Boris Dworschak, Kenneth FitzGerald, Justin Gagne, Heiko Hoos, Catherine Jo Ishino, Esen Karol, garland kirkpatrick, Ali Madad, John McVey, Arjen Noordeman, Serdar Omer, Vesna Petrovic, Ambica Prakash, Florencia Reina, Sarah Smith, Myung Jin Song, Annette Stahmer, Michael Stout, and Andrea Wilkinson.

I've bought a few books from Lulu over the past year or so. I found this particular book by chance and eagerly ordered it. It's great! I'm surprised that I never heard about this exhibit in the design press or online. This really is a wonderful collection of very different posters, all more or less dealing with themes of cultural alienation and displacement. The talented designers come from all over the world, although their work tends to be in English (my one small disappointment). The essay in the book does a good job of explaining the premise of the whole project. The design of the book itself is quite well done, even in spite of Lulu's less than stellar color printing capabilities. I'm always happy to see books designed in a way that supports the content of the book, rather than as a neutral background. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and hope that these designers get the attention and accolades they deserve. I highly recommend this book for a look at some really great work that falls outside of the usual suspects you see in the mainstream design press.
