The Other Side of Design.
Anton Stankowski and the Next Generation

The exhibition was organized as part of the “Year of Science 2022” proclaimed by the City of Ingolstadt and highlighted Ingolstadt as both a museum and a research hub. Design students from the Technical University explored the work of Anton Stankowski, one of the leading figures of Concrete Art, who also had a considerable influence on graphic design.

In collaboration with the Foundation for Concrete Art and Design, the Museum of Concrete Art exhibited not only paintings but primarily Stankowski’s drawings, which revealed a previously little-known aspect of his creative work.

The students adopted this approach by presenting not only finished results but also hidden aspects of the design process: drafts, experiments, and failures. In doing so, the exhibition focused on a side of design and scholarly work that usually remains invisible.
