typo.id - International Days at ASP WARSAW

DATES: 10-14.10.2022

The theme for our first International Days is There's a typo in my name.

The topic evolves around language and cultural identity related to the languages we speak and write down using different alphabets. The sentence There is a typo in my name indicates that there was a mistake, an unexpected error that crept into the text when we heard it and tried to notate the sounds with different signs, the same as .id could mean International Days and our id(entity) here at ASP.

   Valentyn Odnoviun - a brief presentation called “Image and its Potential.” In it, I would talk about the abstract-like image which can call into question the relation between what we see and what we perceive in advance of the act of recognition and to show that such photographs may emphasise the borders not only of human perception, but the border where the consequences of human action meet reason.The research uses forensic as a tool. The main subject of research oppressive systems and their political prisons in Eastern Europe.
   Marcos Mello (online) - My idea is to present part of my portfolio but mainly the process of creation and execution of the type collage I did on the wall of a building in São Paulo with David Carson. I would be available on October 12th within the time slot of the show.
   David Maurissen (online) - I’ll present some of my personal work (artist prints and records sleeves) and how I’m practicing letterpress printing and it’s tools.

   Beck Howson (online) - PhD Research - Experimental Letterpress.
   Andrea Vendetti & Elettra Scotucci (online) - The lecture will start with some experiences related to Slab studio, between letterpress printing, education, and safeguard of the Italian typographic heritage. The second part will focus on the ongoing founders’ doctoral researches: mapping historical type catalogs and specimen of wood type manufacturers in Italy, and making new display type for letterpress printing today, both with traditional and more contemporary technologies and processes.

2. Photography Portfolio Review by Valentyn Odnoviun (dates to be discussed with Valentyn) - Lecturer of Photography, Visual Arts and Art History at the Vilnius Art Academy and European Humanities University. Students can ask Valentyn to review their Photography works.

3. Workshop by Golan Gafni on 11.10 12:00 - 20:00 - “Emblems for peace” for students from the visual communication design about Hebrew letters. The workshop will deal with planning and designing new symbols/emblems based on a combination of elements and rules of the Hebrew type and it's dialogue with the Arabic and Latin letters.‬ The workshop will include a lecture, practice and designing the emblems and preparing a presentation of the done work (print or digital)‬‬‬. The students will design emblems which aim to reflect the yearning for world peace (‬symbols which express values like friendship, ‬collaboration, ‬partnership, ‬pluralism, ‬togetherness etc.)‬ This outcome will be very interesting and can be presented in both institutes. Bring your own laptops with Adobe.

4. Workshop by Samuel Roux on 12.10 12:00 - 20:00 - The introductory title to press articles is often given particular writing care. It must surprise, attract, catch attention by its redactional impact. Suggestions, allusions, plays on words, hints and various references, this form of writing must seduce, guide but also call on the reader’s imagination and prove to be beyond understanding to the foreigner. On the basis of headlines and miscellaneous local or national news of your choice, we are going to work on the perception of a catch-phrase and the graphic clues the designer can put on top of it to increase reader comfort.The «sign» or «graphic act» used as a legible element at the same level as a typographic one can, by its universality but also by your commitment, humour, and your own graphic vocabulary, give the writer’s message more impact. Non Polish-speaking, I will be the first in need of your expertise. Bring newspapers with you (local or national, not necessarily of the day).

5. Workshop by Stephane de Schrevel on 13.10 12:00 - 18:00- Workshop for graphic design students. There is a generally overlooked aspect in typography: the 'sound' of a design, without actually hearing anything externally. The workshop (which will be held in English) will start with an introduction in which sound will be contextualised in the typographic realm. We will try to develop a keen eye for detecting the intrinsic voice of a typeface, and then carry on implementing sound analysis into the design process through a size A3 poster assignment. Bring your own laptops with Adobe.

6. The exhibition 𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓪 𝓽𝔂𝓹𝓸 𝓲𝓷 𝓶𝔂 𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮 accompanies International Erasmus Days, which take place at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from October 10-16. The exhibition will present posters created by artists from different parts of the world especially for the occasion, as well as works created during the workshops accompanying the event. The themes revolve around cultural identity as expressed through the languages we speak and the signs with which we write them down. The phrase 𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓪 𝓽𝔂𝓹𝓸 𝓲𝓷 𝓶𝔂 𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮, which is the slogan of International Erasmus Days at ASP, means that there was a mistake, an unexpected error that crept in when we heard it and tried to note down its sounds.
