Bilingual exhibition catalogue / approach
Lien Tran, in practice.
Bilingual identities, exhibitions, and publications designed to keep meaning clear while each language retains its own rhythm.
How the practice works
The bilingual exhibition catalogue keeps the work distinctive without hiding the decisions people need to make.
- 01
Listen
Name the audience, constraint, and decision the work must support.
- 02
Frame
Set one visual rule strong enough to guide the whole system.
- 03
Make
Test the rule across the smallest and largest real formats.
- 04
Hand off
Leave clear files, examples, and boundaries for the people using it.
