Workshop «Écritures imaginaires», Caen, France
In january 2010, Franck Jalleau, Margaret Gray and I conducted a one-week workshop taking place at the Institut Mémoires de l‘édition contemporaine (Imec) in Caen, France. This workshop was organized by the École Estienne and gathered parisian and european art schools students. It is part of a greater series of events, including publications, exhibitions and lectures in april 2010, called Le printemps de la typographie (“Typography spring”). The 21 students were asked to explore the theme Écritures imaginaires (“fantasy writings”), taking the most of this unique place. The institute is indeed located in a former XIIIth century abbey.
Many thanks to Gérard Becker from École Estienne for putting the whole event together! A lot of things connected to this event are following, so stay tuned.
