Projektbeschreibung

In this project, we will implement narrative into the tool of noting narratives: We will work with ornaments in typefaces. The ornament is an iconic tool of history writing, or less explicit, of contextual indication. Think of antique vases or mediaeval cathedrals:they were full of decoration and ornaments repeating stories of cultural significance, anchoring them in their time and documenting history. The object gets a function beyond its function. We will also create vessels that will be useful and meaningful: Focusing on Art Deco as well as Postmodernism & the Contemporary, we will investigate the Ornament/Iconography/Symbolism in type, art, architecture. We will also investigate the ornament as well as its (erased) position in the Bauhaus under a critical and intersectional feminist lense. 
The Goal of the class is to draw a display typeface that is ornamentalized in order to tell a story beyond the words it will spell. Either a formal, artistic or historic research documentation is expected as well as a physical object to correspond with your typeface.
