About this Event
Hello, amazing community members and beyond!
Join WILD as we visit the Letterform Archive in San Francisco! On view at the Archive until May 26th is the Typographic Jazz: The Monoprints of Jack Stauffacher, an exhibition of rarely seen work that explores the iconic Bay Area printer’s playful and improvisational process. Using a mismatched set of 19th-century wood block letters, Stauffacher reimagined type as an abstract form. Curated by Rob Saunders, this show features more than 100 prints, sketches, iterative proofs, and other unpublished explorations, demonstrating the creative potential of letterpress.
We will meet at the entrance to the Archive at 11:00am, head inside as a group by 11:30am, and tour together.
