Ed Fella and Post Typography in the ADC Gallery

Thursday, June 12th

The OppositesAttract series, moderated and led by Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio, brings two opposites - Ed Fella and Post Typography - to the ADC Gallery. This format has proven to be a vibrant and interesting way to see the work of and learn the backstory of creatives with divergently different perspectives.

Post Typography was originally conceived and founded in 2001 as an avant garde anti-design movement by Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen. Their work has received numerous design awards and been featured in Ellen Lupton's Thinking With Type and D.I.Y.: Design It Yourself, The Art of Modern Rock, Metropolis magazine, Taschen's Contemporary Graphic Design, and Phaidon's Area 2. Post Typography have appeared in numerous design and art exhibitions, and their posters are collected by high school punk rockers and prominent designers. Strals and Willen currently teach classes in design and typography at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and have lectured at the Cooper Union, Minneapolis College of Art &Design, and Harvard University.

Ed Fella is an artist and graphic designer whose work has had an important influence on contemporary typography here and in Europe. He practiced professionally as a commercial artist for 30 years in Detroit before receiving an MFA in Design from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1987. In 1997 he received the Chrysler Award and in 1999 an honorary doctorate from CCS in Detroit. His work is in the National Design Museum and the MoMA in New York. He was a finalist for the National Design Award in 2001.
