The Persistence of Type Vol. II
Back to Projects.The Persistence of Type Volume II is a free broadsheet newspaper created for the seventh edition of Glasgow International.
The Persistence of Type was an exhibition that took place at Tramway in 2015. It used graphic design, installation and animation to consider the connections between ‘type’ as font; ‘type’ as fixed persona, and the pseudo-personalisation of women in historical advertising connected with the airline and brewing industries in Scotland. Volume II presents a collection of texts and images that review these themes to contemplate body and landscape; the figure as glyph; language, labour and reproduction; beauty and myth.
Contributors include: Maria Fusco / Fiona Jardine / Georgia Horgan / Mairi MacKenzie / Anna McLauchlan / Neil McGuire / Mhari McMullan / Lili Reynaud-Dewar / Maeve Redmond with Sophie Dyer.
