“We don’t exhibit them as you would a normal exhibition where you may put something in a frame or behind glass,” said Jason Frazier, co-director of the event and assistant professor of graphic design at CSU. “We pin them to the wall with push pins. They are the object of immediate understanding and immediate communica- tion, so we try and treat them like the type of temporal object they are in a way.” This year, internationally-acclaimed designer Pekka Loiri served as the honor lau- reate for the exhibition. In addition to having his work highlighted in the exhibition, Loiri also selected stand-out works from around the gallery. According to the artist, he felt rewarded to be featured in the exhibition.
