I was awarded a CBAA project assistance grant for the collaborative project, Vista Sans wood type with Ashley John Pigford which utilizes modern technology to create letterpress wood type in an exploration of contemporary methods of typographic design, letterpress printing and book arts. Treacy and Pigford aim to explore the following: how contemporary typefaces can operate within historic printing processes, collaborative experimental printmaking processes, the conceptual nature of the successes and failures of computer and wood technologies. They are currently creating two sets of 432 point wood font of the Emigre typeface Vista Sans, designed by Xavier Dupre.

vista sans wood type

tricia — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:02:40 +0000

This collaborative project with Ashley John Pigford utilizes modern technology to create two sets of 432 point wood font of the Emigre typeface Vista Sans, designed by Xavier Dupre, and print experimental prints in an exploration of contemporary methods of typographic design + letterpress.

We are exploring the following: how contemporary typefaces can operate within historic printing processes, collaborative experimental printmaking processes, the conceptual nature of the successes and failures of computer and wood technologies. The final goal of the project is one or more exhibitions of collaborative prints and a documentary-style artist book that investigates how others approach a relationship with the physical type and experimental letterpress printing.

A blog about the project, which includes posts by all twenty international artists can be fonud here: vswtp.org.
