Dalla condivisione del cibo spirituale e materiale nasce l’impegno degli uomini per la pace e la giustizia: messaggio che dal Padiglione della Santa Sede costruito a Milano per l’esposizione universale ora portiamo fisicamente in tanti altri luoghi grazie a questo progetto».
La scritta scelta per Arte Sella è “Gib uns heute unser Brot”: la lingua tedesca è stata scelta per quello che era il confine tra Impero Austro-ungarico e Regno d’Italia ed è posizionata non distante dalla traccia di trincea che è ancora ben visibile nel parco.

72 Microseasons
For the first time Ginette Caron Communication Design – GCCD
opens to the public with a site-specific installation as a tribute
to the 72 traditional Japanese seasons revealed through illustrations, fabrics and small objects. The research draws inspiration from the titles
of the ‘72 Microseasons’ which offer a poetic journey through the year, from Risshun (beginning of Spring in early February) “The east wind melts the ice” up to Daikan (Great cold in January) “Hens begin to lay eggs”.
The exhibition continues in the new showroom of Design Boutique Italia.
GCCD is a precious mix of Canadian (Ginette Caron) and Japanese (Masami Moriyama) graphic designers renowned for concept driven design, distilling complex communication processes into unique, universal and emotionally engaging solutions applying lightness, craft and playfulness to rigorous graphics. Their works encompass a multidisciplinary vision, from brand identity, editorial, exhibition and environmental design to packaging, illustrations and products.

They represent the worlds of art, music, fashion, design, communication and haute cuisine, each through their cultural and ethnographic differences and they are fostering what we can define as the new Italian creative Renaissance.

Can a poster change the world?
Visual communication and the Utopia of the possible
The Centro interdisciplinare di ricerca sul paesaggio contemporaneo has launched an appeal to artists and visual designers of international renown to gather their viewpoints on a phenomenon currently plain for all to see: the migration of men and women fleeing war, misery, overwhelming strife.
The first outcome was the collective posters exhibition held in Rome at Museo Centrale Montemartini, during fall 2017.
A year later immigration is still a sorrowful issue, either on the social and the political side: promoting awareness, stimulating a brand new perception about humanity on the move, is still the big challenge of 2018 edition of Freedom Manifesto, realized by Centro Interdisciplinare in collaboration with CAP09.

Honoured to have been selected by the Canadian Heritage Minister as an International “Canada 150 Ambassador” as Canada marks 150th anniversary of Confederation.

Una giornata tutta dedicata al pane e alla solidarietà.
Alle 11.00, il vicario episcopale mons. Luigi Stucchi ha presieduto la cerimonia di benedizione.
Dopo la Messa, la Cooperativa “Buoni dentro” ha offerto il pane fatto nel carcere Beccaria.
Al termine del pranzo comunitario, in oratorio, i bambini hanno imparato a fare il pane. Con il ricavato delle offerte saranno poi aiutate le famiglie in difficoltà sostenute dalla Caritas parrocchiale.
Alle ore 15:00 nella chiesa di Sant’Ambrogio Vescovo e Dottore di Trezzano, Ginette Caron
illustrerà “il viaggio della Parola”.
La chiesa S. Gianna Beretta Molla, voluta dal Cardinale Dionigi Tettamanzi e consacrata dal Cardinale Angelo Scola il 25 aprile 2015, è nata come “cittadella della carità”. Un moderno Centro di ascolto Caritas accoglie poveri e bisognosi per accompagnarli nei momenti travagliati con borse di alimenti, vestiti, coperte, aiuti economici. In quattro appartamenti abitano profughi, persone dimesse dal carcere senza fissa dimora, familiari provenienti da lontano per stare vicino ai loro cari gravemente ammalati ricoverati negli ospedali. La Santa Mamma di Magenta ha testimoniato “l’amore più grande” che è diventato storia di tutti i giorni.
La chiesa è stata progettata dagli architetti Quattroassociati.

Refettorio Ambrosiano
Greco, Milano
Ottobre 2017
Al Refettorio Ambrosiano è collocata la scritta “Non di solo pane” in greco antico. Il Refettorio Ambrosiano rappresenta un’eredità di Expo Milano 2015 che la Diocesi di Milano e la Caritas Ambrosiana hanno voluto donare alla città come richiamo permanente ai temi degli scandali della fame e dello lo spreco di cibo.
Il Refettorio cucina le eccedenze alimentari recuperate ogni giorno a Milano. Offre cibo buono: perché cucinato con le ricette degli chef più grandi del mondo che durante il periodo di EXPO sono qui passati; perché lo offre ai poveri della città che hanno fame non solo di cibo ma anche di relazione e di bellezza. Il refettorio è infatti anche un luogo bello con arredi di design e opere d’arte che promuovono un momento di rigenerazione personale e di dignità della persona e al cibo che così non diventano scarto.

Poster for Tomorrow is the main project of 4Tomorrow, an independent, non-profit international organisation based in Paris.
Our goal is to encourage people, both in and outside the design community, to make posters to stimulate debate on issues that affect us all. In our previous six editions we have received over 15,000 posters from 133 countries and hosted more than 400 exhibitions in 5 continents.
4Tomorrow organises and hosts debates, seminars, conferences, workshops and exhibition in schools, universities and governmental institutions.
Ginette Caron as ambassador of 4Tomorrow directed two workshops about “death penalty” and “equality gender” in Tunisia and in Turkey.

Farm Cultural Park
Favara (AG), Italy
Giovedì 6 luglio, ore 19
“Non di solo pane” e “Dacci oggi il nostro pane” sono le due frasi con le quali la Santa Sede ha voluto rappresentare il tema di Expo 2015: Nutrire il pianeta, energia per la vita.
Tradotte in tredici lingue, le frasi disegnavano, grazie alle ombre prodotte dalle lettere metalliche, le facciate del Padiglione progettato dallo Studio di Architettura Quattroassociati e da Ginette Caron, grafica che ha immaginato l’insieme delle parole sul padiglione come fosse “manna che scende dal cielo”.
Parole evocative, evangeliche ma anche ecumeniche e universali, di dialogo e per l’inclusione, nel solco della misericordia predicata da Papa Francesco.
Al termine di Expo 2015 si è deciso di conservare e fare rivivere queste parole, collocandole in luoghi significativi in Italia e all’estero, in modo da continuare a diffondere il loro messaggio.
Nel centro di Farm Cultural Park, Dacci il nostro pane in Cinese, come segno di contemporaneità e di apertura globale, prende il sole zenitale del mezzogiorno.
In Al Qamar, Dacci il nostro pane in greco antico, in memoria della Magna Grecia e della sua cultura che si irradiò in Sicilia, si anima al mattino col sole da est e a mezzogiorno col sole zenitale del sud.
Nel giardino Farm Riad, Dacci il nostro pane in arabo, a ricordo della cultura araba e di Al Fawar (nome antico di Favara), prende il sole di mezzogiorno e quello calante da ovest.

NOVUM magazine
July 2017
An article about Ginette Caron Communication Design is featured in this month’s
NOVUM – World of Graphic Design 07/17 magazine.
From wonder to form
Coming from a family of graphic designers, painters and architects,
Ginette Caron was introduced at an early age to »good« taste. She went on
to study graphic design at the Concordia University in Montreal, then
worked for two years in her home town until she had got together enough
money to fund a long trip to Europe. There she took at close look at some
of the best studios and ended up staying – in Italy.
»It was very exotic – me as a cool polar bear turning up in this Mediterranean
open-air museum, discovering a country full of excellence and refinement.
And above all getting the opportunity to work with grand Italian maestros.«
For over a decade at Pierluigi Cerri / Gregotti Associati she designed visual
identities for the Italian design and fashion sector. After that she worked
alongside Massimo Vignelli, later Oliviero Toscani and Luciano Benetton, the
latter giving her a completely free hand as Design Director.
Today Ginette Caron has her own studio for communication design in
Milan on Piazza Sant’Ambrogio. In this place with its beautiful church, »a
square across which once strode the likes of Petrarca, Bramante and da Vinci
«, this Canadian designer and her Japanese assistant are engaged in multidisciplinary
projects. Big names and top brands feature in her portfolio – from
A for Arper to Z for Zucchi.
»Everything is a source of inspiration. You can observe things from very
different angles and that generates quite different inputs. Life unfolds
between the words ›perception‹ and ›interpretation‹, is how Ginette sums up
her approach to work. This awareness helps her, she says, to develop personalised
communication systems. And she lists three quotes that are of great
importance to her: »Form comes from wonder« (Louis Kahn), »One must be
light like the bird and not like the feather« (Paul Valéry) and »Beauty is the
light of the truth« (Augustinus of Hippo).
The impressive external design for the Vatican Pavilion at Expo 2015 –
designed by Ginette Caron with Quattroassociati Architects – literally draws
its power from light (and shade). The words from the Bible: »Not by bread
alone« and »Give us this day our daily bread« are translated into thirteen languages,
spelled out in white metal letters, only legible on the white building
by virtue of their shadow. According to the designer this concept refers
to the manna falling from heaven which served as food for the Israelites on
their 40-year journey through the desert. Currently these words are on tour in
important places around the world, carrying their message further.
Immaculate, matt whiteness has, however, seldom been popular in Italy
in more profane spheres – or the temptation so great as in the case of »San
Carlo«: But now that these popular crisps are featured in a new purist-style
packaging by Ginette Caron, the number of calorie-sinners will most certainly
have risen. »I seek out the essence of things, both as the starting point for my
projects and as the arrival point. Essentiality, however, does not mean minimalism,
in some cases you can also translate it as exuberance,« explains the
designer. As colourful and virtuoso as in her »Su Misura« catalogue for Fedrigoni’s
bespoke papers and in »Kaleidoskop«, the painting on the walls of the
corridor of the »Gianni Rodari« junior school in Arena in Como – both works
full of vitality and extending an invitation to open oneself up to the endless
possibilities.

Marco Imperadori del Politecnico di Milano, gestito da Caritas Ambrosiana, con il patrocinio del Pontificio Consiglio della Cultura.

Chiesa della Pentecoste
Quarto Oggiaro. Milano
4 giugno 2017
In occasione della visita del Santo Padre a Milano, lo scorso 25 marzo, la Chiesa della Pentecoste è stata scelta come tappa rappresentativa del “Viaggio della Parola”, il progetto concepito da Ginette Caron (ginette caron communication design) con Marco Imperadori (Politecnico di Milano) e Alessio Pesenti (Nord Zinc sponsor), che prevede la ricollocazione delle 25 scritte del Padiglione della Santa Sede in Expo in diversi luoghi in Italia e all’estero.
La chiesa è stata progettata dall’architetto italo sloveno Boris Podrecca per Quarto Oggiaro alla periferia di Milano, dedicata recentemente dall’Arcivescovo di Milano, il cardinale Angelo Scola, alla Pentecoste, la festa liturgica che celebra l’universalità del messaggio cristiano oltre le barriere linguistiche.
Al suo interno, ospita tre frasi (in italiano «Dacci oggi il nostro pane», in inglese «Give us today our bread» e in portoghese «Dá-nos hoje nosso Pão»), composte in lettere in acciaio, smontate dalle facciate del padiglione fatto costruire dal Pontifico Consiglio della Cultura per rappresentare la Santa Sede all’esposizione universale Milano Expo 2015.

Il premio AWDA-AIAP Women in Design Award alla sua seconda edizione, è rivolto alle donne che operano nel mondo della grafica. Più di 100 progetti hanno partecipato provenienti da 9 paesi tra Europa, Medio Oriente e Africa del Nord.
Il Padiglione della Santa Sede riceve la Menzione d’Onore AWDA nella categoria professione “per avere saputo coniugare l’intervento sul piano grafico con quello sul piano architettonico, non attraverso una semplice giustapposizione di elementi, bensì attraverso una loro stretta relazione che definiscono nello spazio un dialogo fitto e continuo tra linee e piani, tra corpo e volumi, tra tipografia e architettura, che non possono esistere l’uno in assenza dell’altro. La parola della Bibbia diventa visibile e mutevole sulle superfici candide del corpo architettonico, disegnata dal metallo filiforme, leggera e impalpabile come ombra proiettata. L’intervento tipografico, che ripropone la dualità del visibile e dell’invisibile, tema centrale della fede, fa propri così i contenuti per devenirne traduzione poetica e evocativa.”
