I have this random idea of photographing typography in 'public spaces'. one example i found interesting was the installation at COFA in the postgrad grass area near the carpark. not sure if it's still there though. it'll be great to setup an interview with the artist too.
other interesting e.g.

ReplyDeleteI think the idea of people playing with public space and typography in combination is nice.
ReplyDeleteInteresting questions to raise could include:
1. What was the space previously?
2. How did people previously use the space/perceived it?
3. How is the design/installation approached?
4. Why is the design/installation executed in a specific way?
5. How does it change space and the way people interact with it?
This may sound a lot like the environments studio, but when dealing with spatial graphics/typography I think those kinds of questions have to be asked.
Just a quick side note, you can check out Miso & Ghostpatrol (Melbourne based artists). They're an interesting example in regards to using public space and integrating graphics/art.
