This month’s issue of Creative Review costs just £4 (instead of the usual £5.70). It’s a special issue too, following a month in the life of a client - Will Gompertz at the Tate galleries.
Gompertz has kept a journal of his daily activities over the course of a month (read an extract here) while we also have interviews with some of the key contributors to Tate’s visual communications.
James Goggin talks about working with Tate’s famous identity system (and how he subverts it) as well as his thoughts on the branding of museums and the intricacies of working with artists.
Talking of which, that piece is followed by an interview with artist and Tate trustee, Jeremy Deller: “Museums are in love with their identity and logo and brand. And they’ll do anything to put that over a photograph of an artwork. For me that’s an abuse of an image.”
Then Richard Flintham talks about Fallon’s work with Tate and the issue of Tate Modern versus Tate Old ie Tate Britain
And Cornel Windlin, discusses the design and role of the galleries’ magazine, Tate etc
Next up, as a special feature for this issue, Tate commissioned a very young design studio, Europa, to create a poster for an upcoming show: we trace how that process works and how they got on
And finally, head of Tate’s print & design studio, Lousie Ramsay, reveals the delicate negotiations that go on between artist, curator, client and designer to promote shows at Tate
We’ve been doing quite a few themed issues at CR this year. They seem to be going down well - let us know what you think of the latest
