The appropriation of the vernacular in post-modern graphic communication
revealed a new conceptual and aesthetic approach to Design in the recent
past. Maybe it was this process that sparked the end of globalized
aesthetic patterns and triggered a new kind of a graphic culture which
imposes itself against the worldwide homogenization of the iconographic
universe.

Vernacular design appropriates elements of popular culture, while
appealing to the collective memory, in order to create geographically
contextualized messages which are consequently stronger and more direct.
Popular and erudite are now seen, perhaps for the first time, as two sides
of the same coin., In this context, it's interesting to think how
vernacular would be a fundamental element in the definition of the
identity of Portuguese Design.

Nuno Coelho will present some of his work contextualized in the vernacular
graphic language of portuguese culture. Nuno’s exhibition A Land Without
People for a People Without Land is at Inflight Gallery until September
27.
