Description
MA Graphic Media Design [MAGMD] invite you to join us at London College of Communication for A Line Which Forms a Volume* symposium and book launch on December 6, 2018.
A Line Which Forms a Volume is a critical reader and symposium of graphic design-led research that is edited, written, designed and published by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design course at London College of Communication.
Working with the concept 'networks in action', the second issue of A Line Which Forms a Volume enacts the networks between MA Graphic Media Design participants and established practices. The connections are built along an axis of research, enquiry and practice, all continuously and simultaneously feed each another. We look towards the symposium as a site to bring these practices into an active site of conversation and exchange. Current participants published in this volume will present extracts from their research at the symposium, alongside invited guests, Gavin Wade and Peter Nencini.

A Line Which Forms a Volume takes its name from a subheading in the 1996 essay ‘The Book as Object’, written by Michel Butor. In this text, Butor writes that threads of thought and speech must be set into lines, lines divided into columns, and columns stacked along a third axis of depth to form a volume. The notion of ‘volume’ as a publication, as well as the space that something occupies and as a quality of something audible, lends itself to the endeavour of A Line Which Forms a Volume - to make graphic design research public.
The symposium is part of LCC Postgraduate Shows 2018: Show 2, exhibiting 6-8 December. For more information see the LCC events page.
