As the founder of Singapore-based studio WORK, Theseus Chan shows the graphic designer’s role in mediating transnational cultural production across art, fashion, and design. Chan pushes the conceptual and experiential capacity of the design of printed matter, often by testing the borders between creativity and commerce, the book and the object, and machine made and hand made. This traversing of boundaries is encapsulated in WERK, a magazine which Chan has published since 2000. WERK experiments with printing techniques and with concepts of displacement and deconstruction in the use of images and typography.
