Suite 2015–2023
Suite is a cultural program created by the Cnap (National Centre for Visual Arts) together with the ADAGP (Society of Authors from the Graphic and Visual Arts) in order to exhibit and promote debuting artists who were funded by one of their grants. Along the year, each of the selected artists is benefiting from having an exhibition organized in partnership with one of the selected venues scattered across the country… and sometimes abroad!
To present the year’s program in a printed form, each year since 2015, the Cnap is commissioning Nantes-based studio Super Terrain to produce a compendium leaflet. But instead of printing a traditional booklet, the studio partnered with printing plant Média Graphic in Rennes to experiment with inks and water directly on the offset printers (see some pictures of the process below). The result are pages colored with organic gradients, colors blending together, dripping and fading away by hydrophilic reaction.
The only typeface used to design the booklet is the geometrical Euclid Flex, sometimes with some stylistic alternates activated. Euclid Flex is available from Swiss Typefaces.
