Alphabet at Southern Illinois University
Alphabet: An Exhibition of Hand-Drawn Lettering and Experimental Typography
Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, IL
Oct-Nov 08
Focusing on an ordinary subject that we see each day, often by the hundreds of thousands, the exhibit Alphabet presents 26 letters as more than just shapes for conveying information. The 51 artists and designers in this show conceive and interpret the alphabet in surprising and inventive ways, ranging from graceful and polished to witty and unconventional. Participants include Michael Stout and his Imageability type family, based on The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch. Alphabet was curated by Post Typography and organized by Artscape.
