Parisian Anatome Gallery presents from May 6 to July 23, 2011, an exhibition dedicated to Paul Renner’s Futura.
It will showcase the work of many international renown designers and the complete history of the typeface.

Opening hours
Tuesday – Saturday, 2 PM – 7 PM

This exhibition is also the occasion to present the book written by the curators Michel Wlassikoff and Alexandre Dumas de Rauly: FUTURA, une gloire typographique.

This unique event will bring together world class professionals for a two-week period in Barcelona. The idea is to focus in type design and use of typography.

In order to accommodate both English and Spanish speaking participants, each session will be conducted in English and supported by a Spanish speaking local designer.

The workshops are designed fro professionals and advanced students (final years, postgraduate, master) and are open to participants from all countries.

This site contains some of the courses confirmed to date. In the coming weeks, we will be updating the information with new workshops and further information.

Barcelona Type & Design Summer Workshops does not award academic accreditation for participation. A letter of participation may be provided upon request.

Barcelona Type & Design Summer Workshops is being presented by BaseDesign and Enric Jardí with the generous support of Xavier Mariscal.

Matt Pyke is one of the most innovative – and positive – motion-artists of his time. His approach can be described as both scientific and holistic, as the name of his design studio, Universal Everything, suggests. The striking variety of his artistic practices (product, print, branded art, tv idents, interactive design, shop installations, arts), has positioned Pyke as a global contributor in the diffusion and popularization of design and motion design.
La Gaîté Lyrique invites the artist for an exceptional exhibition, a lecture, and provides more insights about the creator in the ressources center and the video games space for a special curation.

Until 27 May. 7€/5€. 2-8pm. Closed Mon.
Gaîté Lyrique, 3 bis rue Papin, 3rd. www.gaite-lyrique.net
