Discussion
What's Alt Is Neu
June 07, 7:00 PM–10:00 PM
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), 11 West Fifty-third Street, New York, New York 10019
$12–14
Taking MoMA's exhibition The New Typography as a point of departure, curator Juliet Kinchin leads the discussion on the once and future meanings of New Typography.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the so-called New Typography movement brought graphics and information design to the forefront of the artistic avant-garde in Central Europe. The New Typography, an installation of posters and numerous small-scale works, is drawn from MoMA's rich collection of Soviet Russian, German, Dutch, and Czechoslovakian graphics.
Guests will receive a set of limited-edition coasters designed by Chester Jenkins.
