He has also served as a juror for several international design competitions such as "Poster for Tomorrow," "Granshan," "Wow Design Festa," and "ideec," among others. Chang’s clients have included Samsung, Yahoo, Hyundai Motors, Hammer Theatre, HP Computer, and Amazon, among others. His research papers and works have appeared in professional conferences and publications, including Graphis, Print, How, MAC World Korea, and Baseline magazines, as well as international conference journals like ICOGRADA, Granshan, AIGA, and Munich Design Week.

The Artist’s exhibition concept:

Typogram is a visual pun through typographic play. I love to play with signs, symbols, and icons. I was also fascinated by a similar element of visual play with types and images known as expressive typogram. This visual expression empowers memorable, symbolic, and conceptual messages to its audience. The compelling optical illusion with dual meanings may enjoyably communicate concepts. It has been a great interest of mine and an inspirational element for my work and teaching philosophy since I become a graphic designer and an educator later. Often, this would manifest in my client projects’ such as logotype, branding design, mascots, or graphics/illustrations on book designs.

Opening reception: 28. February 18:00 h.
The exhibition will be opened by Róbert Mascher, industrial designer, the president of FISE, and graphic artist Kamilla Hu-Yang.

Visiting hours: 28. February - 17. March 2023 on weekdays 14-18 hours.

We invite you to Kamilla Hu-Yang's first solo exhibition entitled 'Inner Landscapes'.
The graphic world appearing in the blue image series is created with a psychological-philosophical approach. In its center, dreamlike metaphors of nature and the built environment meet the inner terrain of the soul. The landscapes obtained in this way, the role played by the figures in space, their relation to it and their ability to arrange space, as if it were, impressions of these internal processes. There are also existential features such as re-endowing the void with meaning, the search for connection with the "complete whole", the sustaining power of the inner center and the striving for a state of flow beyond the fragments of everyday difficulties.

The watchwords of the exhibition are exploration, cognition and immersion, with which the color blue is also associated: it echoes in substances that go beyond the plain and appear in nature, such as the sky and water, which enable a kind of transcendence. The exhibited visual world is accompanied by a sound installation by Ádám Dénes.

In Kamilla's works, the relationship between the individual and the outside world, the defining of the relationship between the individual and the collective can often be seen in action. In her graphics, aspects of internal and external structures, units and boundaries in the world are coming to life.

"Kamilla's risograph prints condense the vibrations of the soul into monochrome scenes, our solitude, trials, requests and sorrows all find a place in a world with philosophical sensibility, ruled by light and burdened with clouds."

In the FISE tender, the Budapest 150 program and one of its special sub-programmes, the Book Capital, won the opportunity to hold two exhibitions, one of which will focus more on letter design, book and publication design (this is the current one), and the other will have an illustration-image theme (this will due in December).

Lettering

The material of the exhibition has been selected from the works of FISE graphics - visual communication artists - supplemented by some exciting genre perspectives on the theme of cooperation and boundary crossing of genres along the theme of letters, punctuation, and leaving traces.
The exhibition also focuses on hermeneutic issues on a philosophical level, examining the connections between understanding and appearance, highlighting the relationship between the intention of the communicator and the act of reception - showing the differences between the two, or the importance of visual support that facilitates approximation.
With related professional programs, we can further help the knowledge of visitors and interested parties of the exhibition with professional guidance, discussions, and screenings.

Opening: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at 7 p.m.

Interactive sound: Gábor Balázs

It can be viewed until October 1, 2021, Monday through Friday from 1 to 6 p.m.

This artwork is an interactive visualization on a semi-transparent texture, where the style of the visualization is determined by the noise level in the exhibition hall.
The main message of this exhibition is to notice the world, to lock ourselves into a safe bubble, where the noises of the outside world cannot get in. Creating a safe calm space where we can escape at any time.
The main question of the exhibition is: does this bubble protect or generate loneliness and
alienation?l
