+&-=X 20 years of typo-graphics from the Tokyo Type Directors Club

5 April - 5 May

curated by John Warwicker

+&-=X is an exhibition drawn from current and past award entries in the Tokyo Type Directors Award. For the past 20 years the Tokyo Type Directors Award has consistently challenged what is thought of as typography, typo-graphics and type design whilst remaining a bastion of the more traditional craft of typography.

The aim of the Club and the Award is to firmly establish the field of type-direction in the visual expression of letters, reaching far beyond conventional character designing.

The exhibition reflects the different categories of the award with design raging from posters, editorial/book design, moving image, packaging/signage & display, typedesign and experimental work. The exhibition is designed and curated John Warwicker of the London-based design collective, Tomato and Tokyo Type Directors Club member. supported by the Japan Foundation and endorsed by Icograda.
