Overview

Branding a contemporary art exhibition for an award-winning Asian American artist

Xu Bing: Word Alchemy at Asia Society Texas assembles more than 50 of Xu Bing’s most important woodcut prints, videos, drawings, installations, and other ephemera representing almost 50 years of the artist’s creative output. Word Alchemy is the most comprehensive exhibition on this theme so far, and around one-third of the objects in the exhibition are being shown in the U.S. for the first time.

Xu Bing: Word Alchemy is first exhibition that I had the privilege of branding: wordmark, wall banners, directional signs, exhibiiton labels and digital assets.
