The goal of the exhibition is to assemble and showcase "pieces" of cutting edge ideas/imagery that may or may not be published or exhibited. It is my belief that assembling a collection of submitted work in a gallery documenting and publishing it on a web site, the planet can get a first hand, nearly instantaneous look at contemporary ideology in the minds of creative people involved in the design/art world. Contemporary image making has evolved at a blinding pace and is sometimes left empty and without soul. Where is it going? Are you or your company at the head of it? Or Have you created work that speaks volumes though has not seen the light of day? or has it? What does the future of design look like?

R2 is the signature of the designers and artists Lizá Défossez Ramalho (Troyes, France) and Artur Rebelo (Porto, Portugal). R2’s practice extends beyond conventional boundaries, navigating both typical graphic design’s two-dimensional mediums and architectural landscapes. R2 has earned global acclaim for its groundbreaking projects that contributed to redefine the boundaries of the design field. Driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence, they passionately devote themselves to crafting high-quality, both conceptually and visually, designed projects. R2 Design studio was co-founded in 1995 by Defossez Ramalho & Rebelo and works with cultural institutions and commercial clients in fields ranging from culture and lifestyle to industry. R2’s multidisciplinary approach allows them to respond effectively to a wide range of projects from Dam Signage in the Douro River (with Souto de Moura-Architects) to extensive branding that includes typography on building ceilings (Casa & typography do Conto), to a complex museum graphic identity with more than 14 locations (Museu do Porto).
