urKultur
When should design step forward, and when should it step aside?
Context
Curatorial practice is about creating connections between people, ideas and places. For urKultur, Ruth Ur develops art commissions, feasibility studies and campaigns, often bringing art and design into public and transit spaces.
Approach
The website translates this approach into a clear and restrained digital presence. Rather than imposing a strong visual language of its own, the design gives space to the different projects and the contexts in which they take place.
The landing page becomes a changing exhibition space, presenting a rotating selection of works from urKultur’s collaborations with different artists. These works offer a visual introduction to Ruth’s collaborative approach to curating.
Generous image compositions show artworks in relation to their surroundings, while a simple structure makes the breadth of Ruth’s practice easy to navigate. The result is a website that supports rather than interprets the work, reflecting urKultur’s approach through clarity, openness and attention to context.
