Kristian Henson
LECTURE ONEKristian Henson (Filipino-American, b. 1981) is a designer, director and publisher based in Muntinlupa, Philippines with a BFA from Art Center and a MFA from Yale School of Art. After an early career of designing for LA-based brands and music labels, he moved to New York City to focus on working in collaboration with artists, photographers and art institutions with a primary focus on The Philippines and the Filipino diaspora. In 2013 he co-founded the publishing imprint Hardworking Goodlooking with Clara Balaguer as a means of researching and circulating concepts such as social-practice art making, decolonization, vernacular typography, cyber folkways, third cinema studies and local print culture. HWGL has evolved into a wider collective that includes the artist Czar Kristoff and designer Dante Carlos. Their work has been featured in a range of talks, workshops and residencies in spaces such as The Walker Art Center, Swiss Institute, Printed Matter, Gwangju Biennale, Kunsthall Stavanger, Ooga Booga, Ulises, Wendy's Subway, Printroom Rotterdam, Post Festival Copenhagen, Technische Universität Munich, Central Saint Martins, and Yale University.
