Orbit Oblique is a typographic tribute to animals lost in space. During the period 1949-1990 the space race between the USA and Russia saw dozens of animals launched into space in the name of research. This show pays homage to their noble sacrifice through the use of typography. The exhibition also features the public release of Bisque, a typeface that made history by being the first to have its international rights auctioned on eBay.
Opening Thursday 17 April, 2008 6-8pm. Artist talks 5:30pm.
To be opened by Dr Mark Davis, School of Culture and Communications, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne.
