confluences
The atelier baldinger-vu-huu is taking over the transparent galleries with its “Confluences” exhibition. This invitation is an opportunity for the cccod to highlight the graphic design and typography studio that has been working with it for over five years. led by the Swiss-German duo André Baldinger and Toan Vu-Huu, the atelier b-v-h is the creator of the art centre’s visual identity and its “cccod” typography. This typography, created as part of the 1% artistic contribution, resonates with the geometric purity and hollowing-out effects that characterise the building by architects Aires Mateus.
In the transparent galleries, André Baldinger and Toan Vu-Huu are presenting a brand new set of large-format posters, in which they explore the notion of dialogue that lies at the heart of their creative process.
How do these two energies coexist and communicate? What contrasts and convergences give rise to the visual language that the two designers invent together?

toan vu-huu
Born in Braunschweig (Germany), lives and works in Paris.
After studying applied arts, he joined the Integral Ruedi Baur et Associés studio in Paris, where he remained for five years. There, he led projects such as the identity for Cologne Bonn Airport and the Cinémathèque française.
In 2005, he founded his own studio with the aim of pursuing a multidisciplinary practice — visual identity, signage, scenography, publishing, and new media — continuing to bring a distinctive perspective to content, its meaning, its graphic form, and its typographic expression.
His clients are mainly from the cultural sector: École Estienne, Sciences Po, the Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration, the Cité des Sciences, the Familistère de Guise, the Centre d’art contemporain de Clichy, and Galerie Joseph Tang.
His editorial work has led him to collaborate with contemporary artists such as Christian Boltanski, Sophie Calle, Alain Huck, and Walid Raad.
