SUMMARY:Visual Memoranda: A Selection of Posters from the IBM Poster Program 1969-1979
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is invited to drop in at Type Directors Club in New York to see our new exhibition\, Visual Memoranda: A Selection of Posters from the IBM Poster Program 1969-1979  through August 1. \nThe decades following World War II ushered in an era of unprecedented growth for International Business Machines (IBM)\, as innovations in electronic data processing and the miniaturization of transistor-based electronics transformed the company into a multibillion-dollar colossus. \nDuring this period\, Thomas J. Watson Jr.\, president of IBM\, sought to elevate the company’s image as a forward-thinking\, technologically-advanced organization by hiring world-renowned design consultants\, including Eliot Noyes\, Charles and Ray Eames\, and Paul Rand (who designed the instantly recognizable IBM logo and held a remarkable influence over internal staff designers.) \nThe IBM Poster Program was initiated in the late 1960s by staff designer Ken White\, who had studied under Rand at Yale. Tom Bluhm also transferred into the team\, having worked as a contract illustrator for IBM in Rochester\, Minnesota. Soon\, Ken’s former colleague John Anderson was also added to the staff. \nCurators Robert Finkel and Shea Tillman of Auburn University have curated this beautiful show and created a companion website\, which you can view here. \nTake a look at the installation of the exhibition at TDC and IBM in TDC's history here. \nThis exhibition at TDC is open for viewing from June 6 until Thursday\, August 1 by appointment only. Email director@tdc.org for an appointment from 9:00am to 3:00pm Monday through Friday. Sorry\, we are closed on weekends.

SUMMARY:"Look Both Ways" Exhibition at SVA Chelsea Gallery
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts presents Look Both Ways: The Illicit Liaison Between Image and Information\, a new exhibition curated by Debbie Millman\, chair of the MPS Branding program at SVA. This exhibition brings together a wide range of typographic work from 60 individual artists\, including Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Shepard Fairey\, Paul Sahre\, Carin Goldberg\, Jenny Holzer\, Seymour Chwast\, Chip Kidd\, Kim Gordon\, Tim Goodman\, Paula Scher\, and more\, from Millman’s personal collection and beyond. Look Both Ways  is free and open to the public\, and will be on view from August 24 through September 21 at the SVA Chelsea Gallery.  \nLook Both Ways showcases the many ways in which words\, text\, and information influence art\, design\, literature and music. Bold typographic expression has become the cultural currency of communication and the centerpiece of connection. Objects and experiences all around us now contain an inscription\, an impression or a point of view.  \n“I am thrilled to partner with SVA to share this selection of typography works from a group of innovative and outspoken artists\, several from my own personal collection\,” said curator and MPS Branding chair Debbie Millman. “This exhibition is a stark reminder of the power language has to rule all facets of culture. These works will undoubtedly incite many passionate discussions.” \nIn addition to her work as an educator and leader at SVA\, Millman is an acclaimed designer\, writer\, and strategist and has been hosting her Design Matters podcast for more than 14 years. \nThe exhibition\, located on the 15th Floor of Manhattan's landmark Starrett-Lehigh Building\, is open Monday through Saturday (closed Sunday). \nEveryone is welcomed to attend the exhibition reception on September 6 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm\, where there will be performances by selected artists.
