James Goggin, co-founder of Practise, a Chicago-based graphic design studio, talks about some of his projects, from the site-specific and applied (e.g., a poster for the city of Chicago, an extrapolation of Illinois’ concealed-carry gun signage) to the universal and theoretical (e.g., a graphic identity that questions the need for graphic identities, a set of passport photos as autobiographical ritual). Goggin’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Design Archive. He is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale. Presented by MA Design Research, Writing and Criticism.
