Farrow:
“We designed this poster to celebrate the 15th birthday of the Hacienda.” Farrow explains, “We had no idea at the time that it would be the club’s last. The code 51 15 25 05 97 (Fac 51 is 15 on 25 05 97) was printed in a reflective ink onto a grey background which rendered it almost invisible in daylight. The poster only came to life at night under the glare of car headlights. Our reasoning being that the message was only important to people who were out after dark.”
Thanks Blam for the info.
Max Bill, Rhythmus im Raum (heller granit, 1947-48)

On the occasion of 100 years of the birth of Max Bill, the Swiss Cultural Center pays tribute to this artist who has shaped fundamental modernity an exemplary way in banning categories. One could almost say that his vision has influenced decades of everything that we see (in the minimalist tradition), from a logo to a watch, from a painting to a building.
Self-taught architect, student of the Dessau’s Bahaus, abstract painter and founder of the movement concrete (student of Kandinsky and Klee), but also a graphic designer, typographer, designer and exhibition designer, his works or objects are now part of the classics.
The exhibition Around Max Bill proposes to explore the influence of this artist on a new generation of international designers and check if his production or his teaching continues to inspire some artistic practices.
Thanks to the loan and the outstanding achievement of a new bronze casting of the famous sculpture Rhythmus im Raum (Rhythm in space) dated the end of 40′s, this exhibition has the purpose to literally turn around this work inspired by the endless ribbon of Moebius, in order to see in it its various heirs.
The Exhibition takes place in the project room of “Centre Culturel Suisse” in Paris, from october 26th 2008 to january 4th 2009.
