Central European Research Institute for Art History

For the Central European Research Institute for Art History (KEMKI), we developed a flexible visual identity conceived as a system rather than a static design. Built on modular geometric forms, a disciplined typographic hierarchy, and a context-driven use of color, the identity translates the institute’s research-based, discursive practice into a clear and contemporary visual language. The system is designed to connect, linking programs, historical periods, and theoretical position, while remaining adaptable across exhibitions, conferences, and publications in both print and digital environments. Precise yet open, the identity frames complex content without overpowering it, positioning KEMKI as a forward-looking research institution that actively shapes and communicates contemporary art-historical discourse.
