“Curated by April Lannigan and Bjorn Blakstad. From calligraphy to digital typography, woodcut to the printing press, text operates across countless functions and contexts. This exhibition invites viewers to consider text, type and writing not only as tools of communication, but as form, artform and subject in their own right. Bringing together a diverse and flavoursome array of talent from GSA Library Services staff – artists, designers, curators and writers, the show celebrates the creative breadth within the library community. Expect a rich mix of practices that explore language, materiality, and the visual power of the written word.” – April Lannigan
