Ränder dieser Bilder, Natalie Brück at Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken

Ränder dieser Bilder (“These images’ edges”) at Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken is Natalie Brück’s first institutional solo exhibition. Inspired by music albums, she produced the audiovisual album Ränder dieser Bilder, consisting of moving images, the sound of her voice, booming sounds, hard and soft beats and melodic passages between moments of silence, hesitation and doubt.

The album themes are order and chaos: simplifications of complex relationships and the nuances of language and images – online and offline.

Several fonts make an appearance for the tracklist to her album which is used as a key visual for posters, invitations and other media. Every song title gets its own typographical voice, sometimes kitschy, sometimes tough, and is intertwined with the others. “Love” is in Candlescript from Vast. “Movement” is set in an older version of Dykhotomos Italic by Jules Durand; Roslindale is used for “Parts” by David Jonathan Ross and distributed via his Font of the Month Club – as is his Bild which is used for “Treffen”. “Stimme” uses Arnold Böcklin; “Words” is set in Zapfino; “Brechen” in an unreleased typeface by myself.

The invitation and the mail signature additionally include Bradley DJR by David Jonathan Ross and WT Skrappa by Jacob Wise.

This exhibition is also the first to use the new identity of Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken featuring of ABC Diatype from Dinamo. The arched type of the logo is a reference to the architecture of the inner courtyard.

Kristin Rosch was involved with texts and layout for the invitations.
