Fowler Update: Transcultural Pilgrim Poster

This here is the poster for the upcoming exhibition Transcultural Pilgrim: Three Decades of Work by José Bedia. This is the first exhibition for the Fowler that I developed entirely from the ground up...in terms of graphic treatments. Everything started with the title treatment, a typographic lockup set in ITC Franklin Gothic Compressed. The red will make an extensive appearance throughout the actual exhibition itself. It was chosen based on it's prevalence in the work. The titled angle of the type mirrors qualities of the exhibitions architectural structure, and provides a point of contrast with the very organic work.

You can see the web banner for this as well as other shows still in development here. Coool.

Be on the look out for street banners primarily on the West side of Hollywood for this Transcultural Pilgrim show.


The piece used in the poster is as follows:

Mama quiere menga, menga de su nkombo
(Mama Wants Blood, Blood of His Bull)
1988
Acrylic on canvas
139.7 x 200 cm
Collection of Diane and Robert Moss, Miami, Florida

A Few Fowler things

Here are some things that I made this week for the museum. My favorite part about these is the fact that the "free button" has entered into the design lexicon here as a "solution". It has been requested 3 times now. This is very funny to me. Also drop shadows are the "cowbell" of graphic design. You know what that means because it makes complete sense.

Jamming: Bon Iver-Self-Titled, Twin Sister-Meet the Frownies, The Velvet Underground-Self-Titled, Deathspell Omega-Paracletus, James Black-Self-Titled

Fowler Update

Hello, all the many people that read this persistently updated blog. Above is a poster that I designed to be featured outside the entrance to the museum. The white rectangle you see near the top is an 8.5x11 space to allow for any updates for the day.

Many more things to see soon, as I am constantly working on stuff for the museum. Very cool.

Listenings: Twin Sister-"Bad Street", Peter Gabriel, Junior Boys-"It's All True", Cass McCombs-"Wit's End", Liturgy-"Aesthetica"
