Do It Today: TYPE RIOT, Opus, holiday conservation celebration and more
Posted by Franki Weddington on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 12:00 AM
If you think type is just another functional aspect of design, think again -- and ask the thousands who recently rioted when IKEA changed its iconic font. The Roundhouse Gallery's inaugural collection, TYPE RIOT: Letters of Intent, is a mixed media exhibit, a celebration of typography -- a vital element of design to which each of the exhibiting artists have made significant contributions, among them: Phil Holt, Bask, Jason Vivona, Blackbooks, Pale Horse, Tes One, Frank Strunk III, Johnny Vitale and many more. (Pictured: work by Jason Vivona, on display at TYPE RIOT) On display through Dec. 18; visit roundhouseart.com for more info. Roundhouse Gallery, St. Petersburg.
