The Way Beyond Art: Wide White Space investigates graphic design's evolving relationship with exhibition making and the work of both artists and curators. The exhibition context has long been a fertile area for graphic designers to explore, whether via printed promotional materials, catalogues, signage, interactive media, or exhibition design. This volume looks at designers who have created innovative museum and gallery identities, undertaken collaborations with curators (and in so doing created new, unique productions) or launched their own exhibition-based initiatives. Among the designers and institutions featured here are APFEL, Irma Boom, Laurenz Brunner and Julia Born, Sara De Bondt, Mevis and Van Deursen, Dexter Sinister, Indexhibit, Experimental Jetset, Will Holder, Zak Kyes, James Langdon, LUST, Niessen & de Vries, Practise, Project Projects, Yann Sérandour and Jérôme Saint-Loubert Bié, Stedelijk Museum, Sulki and Min, Mylinh Trieu Nguyen, Hansje van Halem and Walker Art Center.

Poor people living in regions affected by fluctuating temperatures and rainfall, sea level rise, flooding and drought bear the brunt of climate change. These communities have no choice but to continue to use the resources at their disposal to adapt and survive. Yet in order to adapt people need to appreciate that potentially profound changes are in store and that future impacts are deeply uncertain. Understanding Adaptation to Climate Change addresses these issues and provides responses to important questions for the international aid community as it seeks to address the impact of climate change. How can agencies assist local communities adapting to change? By what mechanisms can communities make the most of emerging information? Can effective community-based approaches be scaled up? By combining eight case studies from South Asia, Africa and Latin America with an overall analytical framework, the authors demonstrate that although communities’ adaptation strategies vary and depend upon local context, social networks play a pivotal role in accessing useful knowledge and resources. Through such networks, the key activities of reducing vulnerability, fostering resilience, and developing the capacity to experiment and learn are combined and communicated to other communities. This book is essential reading for NGO practitioners, students, and government and NGO policy makers who wish to gain an understanding of what adaptation means in theory and practice.
