Case Study: Anna Ostoya Interprets Fluxkit

Posted by Allison Tepper, 12-Month Fluxus Intern, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books

Word Up

Posted by Pamela Popeson, Department Preparator, Department of Architecture and Design

I’m a big fan of words; letters and the written word to be a little more precise. And not just the sound and meaning, but actual words—their physicality, their shape and form, and how they look. I have a nephew who was crazy for the letter “u”; specifically the lower case “u,” with serifs.

Sum of Days

Posted by Carlito Carvalhosa, artist

Sum of Days was initially exhibited at the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo between August and November 2010.
