Uncanny: Surrealism and Graphic Design,
by Rick Pynor, uncovers the presence of an alternative tradition in graphic design.
The Surrealist movement of the 1920s and 1930s focused on literature, painting, photography and the object, and the Surrealists’ publishing activities provided only hints of what a fully conceived Surrealist graphic design or typography might look like. Many of the most suggestive early examples came from Czechoslovakia, where Surrealism would become a lasting influence. Subsequently, Surrealist ideas and images had a profound impact on image-makers in every sphere of art and design, and by the 1960s the effects of Surrealism were widely felt in international graphic communication. Uncanny traces this intermittent line of development up to the present. ( Go to Views of Exhibition & Images/Press release )
Until October 24, 2010, part of the 24th International Biennial of Graphic Design Brno 2010, The Moravian Gallery in Brno.
Rick Poynor, Curating “Uncanny: Surrealism and Graphic Design”, Lecture
This illustrated lecture, focusing on this exhibition, will examine curating as an extension of writing and editing practices. What are the crucial similarities and differences between selection for the two-dimensional page and the space of the gallery? Poynor will consider Surrealism as choice of theme—why explore this topic now?—and place “Uncanny” in the international context of the many other shows on Surrealist art. He will explore how the exhibition relates to the paths of inquiry he has pursued in his critical writing and address its broader polemical purpose.
September 14 2010, 6pm, Design Criticism MFA Department, New York.
