Letters & Ligatures TONIGHT

Posted by Diane Faye Zerr on Friday, June 5, 2009 · 1 Comment

Tonight is the opening reception for Letters & Ligatures in Philadelphia at the 222 Gallery. Are you going? I am. I don’t venture out much so if you want to meet me now would be the time!

Visual nomenclature fuels language, facilitates communication and forms the basis of a civilized society. Without standardized lexigraphy, we could not create the essence of truth, allowing history to pass on the tongues of those who change it to suit their needs. Written language is also crucial to our cultural survival. It tells us when to stop, where to go, who to see and what to desire while providing the syntax of our earliest memories and our final thoughts. House Industries artists decided that if written symbols play such an important role in our physical, mental and social well being, they might as well look good.

I’ll be posting photos from the show through twitter @difaye tonight and a full post on Monday right here! What to expect? See below:
