About

A Practice for Everyday Life is a design agency working with some of the world’s most successful companies, galleries, institutions and individuals. We create a diverse range of work including brand identities, art direction, signage & wayfinding, exhibition design, print, editorial & publishing and websites from concept to production.

We investigate, explore and experiment to draw together stories which can translate and transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This approach has always led to thoughtful and inspired design solutions, and earned us a reputation for crafting intelligent, beautiful and innovative work.

We have established an exceptional reputation through work for Architects’ Journal, British Council, Phillips de Pury, Tate Modern & Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum and Wellcome Trust and are an increasingly sought after partner for collaborations with architects, curators, creative directors and photographers.

Allora & Calzadilla Vieques Videos 2003–2010

Vieques Videos 2003–2010 documents three films by Allora & Calzadilla that address the history of Vieques, an island off Puerto Rico that until recently was used by the United States Navy as a weapons testing range. Filmed over a decade Returning a Sound (2004), Under Discussion (2005) and Half Mast/Full Mast (2010) form part of the civil disobedience campaign that was waged by local residents. Stills from each of the films are balanced by a large visual essay of historic documentation that underpins much of the work. In addition the cover (and a section inside) feature landscape photographs by the artists that were overprinted with a black gloss ink, to highlight the way the island is now being advertised as an unspoiled natural paradise to holiday makers and property developers.
