This exhibition considers the expressive potential of image and language through signage: how do artists use the visual and physical characteristics of signage to create realms of poetic or political meaning in public space or the gallery? With a focus on forms of permanent and ephemeral signage this exhibition will consider artists’ billboards, marquees, street signs, banners and posters among other forms of infrastructural signage.
Held in association with the THIRD ANNUAL TYPOGRAPHY SYMPOSIUM, featuring sign making workshops, a lecture by John Downer and a panel on Chicago street typography.
