Staging the message – The open work of Jan van Toorn is a homage to the Dutch graphic designer, design theoretician and exhibition designer Jan van Toorn. The exhibition shows the working process at the basis of his graphic oeuvre.
This does not take place in a traditional chronological way, but as a visual journey full of associations, historic events and image reports. For a long time, Jan van Toorn – who was nominated for the Amsterdam Prize for the Arts this year – also created many groundbreaking designs for the Van Abbemuseum.
