Photo Gallery | PopUp Type Museum
Posted on | Updated
Images of an extraordinary 2019 Type Museum exhibition.
Each year, Peter Cocking’s fourth-year Advanced Typography class completes their semester by creating an “instant museum”: a pop-up installation of exhibits that use typography to communicate something important about typography.
This year, students dug into a wide array of topics, with dynamic, interactive displays that ranged from the history of wood type to the evolution of Chinese characters; from typographic signifiers in heavy metal logos to the role of typography in the packaging and marketing of pharmaceuticals, alcohol, and candy; from the relationship between the human body and typographic form to the future of variable type on-screen.
Below is a gallery of photos from an outstanding opening night, which included lightning-fast presentations from the exhibiting students on their contributions to the show.
Students whose work appears in the photos include:
- Liam Binnema
- Byron Camacho
- Megan Carpick
- Alex Deng
- Kasia Lajlo
- Steve Li
- Alex Garcia
- Christine Fwu
- Tyler Hawkins
- Madison McDonald
