One idea, in simple words
In Pistoia, San Giorgio Library hosts “Parole di peso” by Rossana Loperfido. The council announced the official opening for 18 September. The exhibition continues until 29 October and invites people to look at words as images too. [1]
Typographic compositions are images built using letters and words. Here, they draw on texts by Kafka, Calvino and Mary Shelley. Sketches, collages and folding books show the artist’s work; six posters complete the exhibition. [1]
Try an activity invented by our editors: write “wind” once with small letters close together, then with large letters scattered apart. Which version makes you imagine a breeze? Which suggests a strong gust? There is no single correct feeling. This game does not copy an artwork in the exhibition: it invites you to explore your own idea. [1]
