OCTO – Collective Exhibition

OCTO was a collective exhibition held at WIP Lisbon Events, in Lisbon, from 5 to 25 July 2018. Starting from the many references and symbolism of the number 8, eight artists came together to explore infinity and artistic abstraction, questioning their own work and, along the way, contemporary society and the issues that matter to it.

T2WODO designed the exhibition and took charge of its production, graphic design, communication and event production, creating a space where eight very different visual languages share the same room.

The visual identity plays with the shape of the 8, an overlapping, infinity-like form, in bold yellow, deep purple and teal, with organic shapes and condensed lettering. It was applied to the A3 poster, 10×15 flyer, roll-up, Social media, artist pages for the website and a bilingual press release, and carried through to the opening night on 5 July, with a live performance by They See Us and music by R.O.B aka Stone Jones.
