Develop an exhibition of your chosen type designer / typographer and their joint philosophy to be shown at the Bauhaus. Create a conceptual exhibition that interprets and showcases the philosophy of your chosen typeface designer / typographer by using typographic elements only.

​

The Gridworks exhibit is a chronological study of the works of Wim Crouwel and Zuzana Licko.  Starting with Crouwel’s early work by hand, then highlighting the introduction of the cathode ray tube and his grid-based type design, transitioning into Licko’s work with the Macintosh and dot matrix printers, and how they both navigated solutions for higher resolution screens.  

 

The grid plays a significant part in the work of Crouwel and Licko. As different as their philosophies are (Crouwel design decisions were led primarily by the grid and Licko allowed more exploration) they both share a commonality in the grid itself.
