The exhibition at MoMA, Tangled Alphabets redefines Typography as a spatial construct…. The works presented describe an architecture of ‘type’ - of the constructed ‘word’ that is tactile, hollow, and brittle and occupies space while defining it. Word as a ‘figure’ and not merely ‘texture’ or ‘ground’ repositions Gestalt in a whole different way. It’s the other that defines what is ‘between’. What separates is what connects and creates space between words, texts and the Type through ‘difference’.
