This wall piece are removable letters forming different massage. The artist Mikko Kuoriniki drops by the gallery every now and then to change the text on the wall. This is also spotted at Kiasma, Helsinki. Is this a sculpture or an extremely slow performence?
This sculpture is part of an international exhibition that deals with the world of script, design and art. The works of the exhibition describe how text, visual art and design are attached to each other. I saw this one at Kiasma, Helsinki a while ago. It is made by Pekka Syrjälä and the word ei means no in english.
Kiasma, Helsinki
Travelling Letters is a series of exhibitions that change place, size and contents. The first exhibition was organized in St. Petersburg, 2008. Altogether 41 artists, calligraphers, designers and graphic designers from 11 countries are participating in Travelling Letters 2010. Unfortunately I could not find any information on the next exibition.
While walking around in Berlin i stumbled upon this incredible wall art in the shop of Esther Perbandt (a bag designer). The street-artist-turned-straight-artist Jaybo Munk is the creator behind the display which is made all by scrap wood and measures 3m x 3m. It was made especially for the autumn/winter collection, so if you want to have a look at it you’d better hurry! And you should, because these pictures don’t do justice to the art work at all. The shop is in Mitte (Almstadtstrasße 3).
Yes, it’s old news, but I can’t help to post some work of Wayne White. He transforms cheap mass produced oil paintings into surroundings for great 3D typography. His work has been compared to Ed Ruscha whom soon deserves a post here as well. Enjoy!
I´m an Art Director at Tibe T advertising agency. I got that job recently, and my first job here was to make a logo for the musical Rock ´n Roll Wolf for Trøndelag Teater. The musical is based on the movie Mama. The lead characters is a goat and of course the wolf. And everything goes down in the forrest. My friend and work mate Aasmund suggested that I should go for a walk in a forrest. So to make the logo, I went to the forrest and found some tree bark. So the typography was made with bark. Here is the prosess:
TTC (Trondheim Type Club) started out in 2008 by Aasmund Hegglid and Trond Aslak Øvrum. The idea was made in 2007 as something we missed in our town. A breeding place for type-fanatics.
We are now a group of people with relations to the design/advertising industry in Trondheim, Norway.
We all have passion and love for typography, and want to share our ideas, inspirations and knowledge with everyone. Kern or die!
