If you find yourself  travelling to Berlin or to the city of Halle in East Germany this spring, check out the exhibition BURG Professors of Art and Design at Volkspark Halle, featuring work by alumnus Andrea Tinnes (MFA ’96).

Abecedarium consists of 24 typographic posters where Tinnes explores various analogue and digital techniques to remix her own body of typographic work to create these new pieces. Abecedarium functions as a wall-sized type specimen, working its way from A to Z in an alphabetic series of initial caps, typeface designs, experimental typography and ornamental patterns. The quotes used in the posters come from Sister Corita Kent’s manifesto “10 Rules for Students and Teachers”, referencing Andrea’s academic career as a type and typography Professor.
