Laws of Form – Alphabetum III

Omschrijving

Uitgave naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling Laws of Form – September 28 — December 31, 2019

The Alphabetum is an artistic space to explore the
formative and formal aspects of language. These aspects
are mostly considered separate. Typographers and typedesigners are primarily focused on the letterform and
writers mostly do not pay attention to the forms of the
letters they form into words. The ambition of the Alphabetum is to reveal that these two properties of written
language are much more interlinked than is commonly
acknowledged. A letter is a letter because it resembles
a letter; and because it resembles a letter it is a letter.
