‘Hidden Heroes’ is the ongoing exhibition at the London Science museum that celebrates the everyday design objects that we overlook.

The largest museum exhibition on design since ‘Graphic Design in America: A Visual Language History’, ‘Graphic Design: Now in Production’ captures how graphic design has expanded over the last decade. To be specific, it explores how design-led magazines, newspapers, books and posters have shaped our design landscape. The exhibition showing at the Walker Art Center until 22 January, so if you’re around the area it’d be well worth paying a visit. (Crap=Good)

Spoon & Tamago lets us know about this Eriko Koga exhibition. She started documenting the lives of an elderly couple back in 2003, following them over the next 6 years. The photographs taken are an interesting look at their lives and a nice change of pace from our usual posting habits.

In this conversation for his exhibition at SF MOMA, industrial designer, Dieter Rams discusses his “Less is better” idea. More importantly, Rams discusses the idea that less than ten large companies and corporations exist that care about design. Well worth a viewing. The exhibition, “Less and More – The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams” runs through February 2012.

Not to leave anyone out, here’s another exhibition that happens to be showing in Europe. Switzerland to be specific.

“The exhibition is based on an extensive research project in which hundreds, in part long-forgotten photobooks were brought together and critically examined. The selection of works resulting from this process forms the backbone of this new history of Swiss photography, which is also being published as a book.”

It looks like it’ll be a great exhibition so it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. (Many Stuff)

Curated lets us know about this Dieter Rams exhibition:

“If you are aware of Dieter Rams’ 10 principles of good design, then plusminusten in Singapore is a must see if you are in the city. Dubbed “plusminusten,” the exhibition itself embodies Rams’ philosophy on effective design, with a simple presentation that makes its purpose clear.

…Much homage has been paid to the industrial designer’s seminal set of beliefs, such as Bibliotheque’s poster for Vitsoe or Inksie’s essay project, but the Anonymous-led exhibition is the first-ever tribute in Asia. Included in the momentous display are graphic designers Edwin Tan, Abdul Basit Khan, Aen Tan, B.A.L.L.S., Daniel Koh, Hanson Ho Jonathan Yuen, Larry Peh, Roy Poh and Yong, who each offer a distinct perspective on what it means to be true to his craft.”

Think Silly gives us a local look at the Frank Gehry exhibition open in Hong Kong. “We have enhanced our living experience by mixing the vast range of mediums on offer and pushing our boundaries of creativity from the ways we manipulate space and materials. Canadian American Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry is one of the masters of this craft… By breaking the rules of traditional architectural blueprints, Gehry has emphasized heavily on the notion of creativity. With his expertise in quick thumbnail sketches and the help of present cutting edge technology, they have enabled his ideas to turn into reality successfully.”

One of our favourite magazines has just launched an exhibition at the V&A. If you’re not familiar with Private Eye, it’s a British political satirical magazine that mixes humour and cartoons with investigative journalism. This exhibition focuses on the humorous side of the magazine, specifically the cartoon art. They’ve worked with several noted artists over the years, including the likes of Willie Rushton, Ralph Steadman, Michael Neath and Gerald Scarfe. (Creative Review)

Manchester’s Cube Gallery is hosting “Post Match,” an exhibition that mixes smoking and footie (soccer to the N.A.’s). Using cigarette packs to fold origami style jerseys, “Post Match” is an unique concept in art, sport, and smoke. Artists, Leo Fitzmaurice, developed the idea after he “noticed a wet cigarette packet on the ground in the shape of a football shirt and ten years later he is still making them and has a vast collection of over 800 hand made shirts from around the world.” Green Soccer Journal has more…
