“Wearing Whitman’s Words" (Event Over)

Lucky Gallery invites you to join us on Saturday, December 5th from 6-9 pm for the opening reception of “Wearing Whitman’s Words; A Typographic Exploration,” curated by Ben Peterson.

This exhibition features new works created specifically for this show by; Friends of Type, Jennifer Heuer, Jessica Hische, Justin Thomas Kay, Pablo A. Medina, Ed Nacional, Meg Paradise, Pillow Fort, and Travis Simon.

These designers were asked to make selections from Leaves of Grass to visually explore letter forms. The designed words will be displayed on the front of t-shirts with the selected text written on the back in a font consistent across each of the shirts. This contrast will highlight how the shape of letters can add meaning to the words we read.

Everyone attending the opening will receive a free shirt from the show, extending the exhibition beyond the gallery walls.

T-shirt printing generously donated by Portal Porfavor.

Food and drink will be provided.
