Ventoline fait ses gammes (2020–?) exhibition
La Fanzinothèque in Poitiers, France, shows an exhibition titled Ventoline fait ses gammes (2020–?). From the website (translated):
A feminist music fanzine interested in images? A graphic magazine that looks at music without the male perspective? A collective blog on newsprint? A typographic catalogue in disguise? For three years and five issues now, Ventoline has been patiently practising its scales, making light of boxes and definitions along the way. The Fanzinothèque invites the Ventoline team to take over our exhibition space until the end of the summer.
The exhibition about the Ventoline fanzine runs from June 23 to September 2, 2023. The opening was celebrated with live-painted lettering by Hélène Marian, V-shaped petits fours, and a concert by Laetitia Sadier.
For the exhibition poster, designer Félicité Landrivon combined Jakob (Alan Madić), Aston Script (Teuku Riski Firmana) and Flash (Edwin W. Shaar). Jakob is used together with Excessive (Clara Dousson), Américaine (Alan Madić) and Nouvelle Grotesquerie (Guillaume Lelong) on the exhibition window.
Jakob, Excessive, Américaine and Nouvelle Grotesquerie are all fonts that originated at the X Cicéro type research project at ESAD Valence.
