In a world first, Object Gallery presents a major retrospective of internationally acclaimed designer Vince Frost. Frost*bite: graphic ideas by Vince Frost is a frank and open account of Frost's work over more than a decade: the good, the bad and the ones that got away. This inspirational exhibition provides a true reflection of the ideas-based philosophy now synonymous with Frost's name.
Presented in Frost's bold and idiosyncratic style, Frost*bite reflects on a range of projects, from editorial and magazine design to corporate identity, environmental graphics and interactive design. True to Frost's commitment to making his craft more accessible, the exhibition invites people to interact with design - from huge letterforms to multimedia presentations. Coinciding with the exhibition, live projects reveal design in action, and a series of public programs provide unique and personal encounters with Frost himself.
Internationally renowned, Frost regularly addresses conferences and judges design competitions around the globe. In 1989 he joined Pentagram in London and just three years later was their youngest Associate at 27. Two years later he had started his own studio, Frost Design, creating award-winning work for clients from The Independent newspaper to Nike. Since moving to Australia in 2003, Frost has worked with Sydney Dance Company, Macquarie Bank, Manfredi Enterprises and international literary magazine, Zembla, amongst many others.
Object Gallery's first graphic design exhibition, Frost*bite brings graphic design firmly into the public domain, and is a must for anyone with an interest in contemporary culture. The exhibition will be accompanied by an inspirational book, (sorry trees), that demystifies the design process while offering an insight into the working practice of one of the world's leading designers.
