The Graare [Gerrit Rietveld Academie Augmented Reality Exhibition] is a virtual multiplatform exhibition made for Graphic Designers by Graphic Designers. We want to show that graphic design and graphic works can be adopted and transformed to exist beyond the physical form. In these uncertain times, we are using new tech to build a widely accessible virtual exhibition.
The Exhibition will happen without the need for physical contact in the open space of the Museumkwartier in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
We are excited to invite you all to come to our virtual exhibition that will open this Saturday, the 14th of February and stay open until Monday evening. The Graare is a virtual multiplatform exhibition initiative by the students of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. We want to demonstrate that artworks can be adopted and transformed to exist beyond the physical form. The exhibition is located on the streets of Amsterdam and does not require any physical contact. So it’s safe.
Dear Graphic Designers, we have exciting news!
