Scotland + Venice

 

Martin Boyce is a Turner-nominated artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. His elegant yet violently reconfigured objects and environments excavate the history of modernist design.

We were commissioned to produce an all-inclusive set of marketing material for his No Reflections solo exhibition at the 2009 Venice Biennale.

Graphic disruptions
Operating on notions of abandonment, familiarity and nostalgia, much of Martin’s current practice stems from a single abstract geometric grid.

Using motifs of repetition and distortion, our design grew from typographical arrangements that were present within the actual work on display.
Similar worlds
Martin introduced us to the primary themes
found in his work but didn’t offer any solutions
or specific direction. In fact, he insisted that
our collaboration generate an original piece in
its own right.

Since he shares our enthusiasm for the exploration of other disciplines, we achieved
some effective and dramatic results.
