His other work includes visual identities for Secession in Vienna, Krabbesholm Højskole in Denmark or various exhibition projects in which the role of graphic design is examined, re-defined or put into the question. In 2011 he became a chairman of International Biennial of Graphic design in Brno and co-curated two of its editions 26th Brno Biennial 2014 and 27th Brno Biennial 2016. Between 2006–2012 he taught at Gerrit Rietveld Academie Amsterdam. He is currently visiting lecturer at Royal College of Art in London and at Master in Typedesign at ÉCAL in Lausanne.
