Supergravity – Ádám Katyi
An exhibition of Ádám Albert opened in Kassák Museum in 2018 with the title “Minden a Mienk! (Everything is Ours!). The font of the exhibition focusing on historic research and processing the past was designed by graphic designer and type designer Ádám Katyi. The exhibition of ISBN book+gallery titled Supergravity showcases the complex design process of this volume: visitors can walk through the steps of it from the first sketches to the completed catalogue. The audience in Budapest can only see a few graphic design exhibitions, and even fewer where they can actually track the documentation of the design process, which makes Supergravity a true gap-filler for sure. If all this is not enough: from the day of the opening, the font will be available to the public on the website of Hungarumlaut studio!
When: February 8, 2020, 19:00-22:00
Where: ISBN book+gallery
