VCFA MFA in Graphic Design Chair Ian Lynam is about to have an exhibition titled Kit of Parts in Tokyo at UltraSuperNew Gallery in Harajuku from July 10th – August 3rd, 2015. The exhibition is also a launch for his new book, Parting It Out.

The opening party is on July 10th from 6pm to 9pm.

Kit of Parts is an exhibition of work from the past decade by Tokyo graphic designer, educator and critic Ian Lynam in accompaniment to the launch of his new book, Parting It Out. The name of both the exhibition and the book reflects Lynam’s interest in the disassembly and reassembly of culture.

Kit of Parts is a curated overview of work from the past decade designing in Tokyo—posters, type design, skateboard graphics and assorted graphic design-related editorial work that highlight Lynam’s multiple modes of practice.

The cover of Parting It Out by Ian Lynam

Parting It Out is a collection of essays spanning much of graphic design as it applies to aspects of contemporary culture – from the Olympics to typography to R. Kelly to Cuba to sign painting. The book is equal parts personal narrative, design criticism, design history and cultural study.
