“Če vas pot zanese proti Angliji, vas z veseljem vabim na spodaj opisano razstavo. Pravkar otvorjeno!
Edward Wright je med drugim avtor tridimenzionalnega znaka New Scotland Yarda. V petdesetih razstavlja kot član Independent Group z Richardom Hamiltonom in oblikuje katalog ‘This is Tomorrow’. V šestdesetih sodeluje s Theo Crosbyjem na projektu ‘6th Congress of International Union of Architects’.
V sedemdesetih oblikuje megalomanskko razstavo ‘Dada and Surrealism Reviewed’ za Hayward Gallery. V osemdesetih naredi znak za Tate Liverpool. Predava na RCA, Central St Martins in Chelsea School of Art.
Potem ga pozabijo.

Razstavo priporočam tako tipografom kot arhitektom in oblikovalcem.”

Edward Wright: design work
Born to South American parents, British citizen, cosmopolitan at heart, Edward Wright – painter and object-maker, typographer, writer, teacher – was an enigmatic presence in London’s post-War art and design scene.
Robin Kinross has described Wright thus: ‘His subjects: human communication, the mundane, the street. His manner: sparing, self-critical, yet the work had vigorous attack and full conviction. His typical method: assemblage, with what was to hand.’
The exhibition, which is open from Monday 21 January until March 2007, is based on materials held in archives at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication, University of Reading, and is supplemented by works lent by family and friends of Edward Wright. The exhibition is accompanied by the publication of Edward Wright: readings, writings.
This exhibition arises from ‘The optimism of modernity’ project which is funded by Arts & Humanities Research Council.

The exhibition is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. You can find maps for the journey here
