The International Exhibition, a traditional part of the Brno Biennial, presents a selection of submitted works created over the past four years.
The International Exhibition is focused on graphic design projects in a scope corresponding to small sets - editions, visual identities or long term collaborations - in other words examples of a consistent approach spanning a range of applications, media and techniques. The intention is to present a coherent selection of projects represented in their entirety and by doing so to enable deeper insight into the profession of graphic design. One-off projects and solitary works are not included in the International Exhibition.
A group of designers and design theorists assessed each submitted work on the basis of its originality of approach, aesthetic and functional qualities, and with a special regard given to the project as a whole, while bearing in mind the spatial limitations of the exhibition space.
The international jury comprising of leading figures in graphic design has awarded several prizes, including the Grand Prix of the 27th International Biennial of Graphic Design Brno - The Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic Award, the Mayor of the City of Brno Award and Czech Centres Award given to a Czech graphic designer under the age of 35.
The display modules were conceived specifically for this exhibition to serve as a stage for each project. The authors of selected works were invited to suggest the layout of the exhibits as well as the graphical motifs printed on the outside of each box.
