Typomania Tomsk

Curators: Alexander Vasin, Dmitry Galsan
Organizators: Siberian Branch of the State Center for Contemporary Arts (Rosizo), Center of Culture of Tomsk State University.
With the support: Pro Helvetia Moscow

Meeting with Swiss designers Erich Brechbühl (Mixer), Ludovic Balland, Ivan Weiss and Michael Kryenbühl (Johnson/Kingston studio). 

The experts discussed actual issues of design industry, the transformation of proffessional education in universities, the impact of technologies on the profession of graphic designer, the boundaies between design and other fields.

During the discussion «What's happening in contemporary design?» the Swiss designers talked with Tomsk colleagues and everyone who is interested in graphic design. Dmitry Galkin, curator of Typomania. Tomsk and director of Center of Culture of Tomsk State University moderated the event.

One of the key points of the discussion was the impact of the technologies on the work of a professional designer. Now anyone can use lots of digital devices and automate completely the creation of a logotype or a site. In general, experts do not see this as a serious threat to the profession, since there is a tendency for the design to become more democratic.

Also, experts note that there is a big difference between the design for the Internet and for printing. In the first case, it becomes template, it does not allow originality to appear, and in the second case, the designer is interested in original approaches and experiments, there is no place for standards.

In addition, during the discussion, the issue of modern university design education was raised. The experts discussed what universities should do in this area and how to react and integrate into the situation of the rapidly developing technological world. During open lectures the experts also spoke about their creative activities and projects in well-known design studios. Eric Brehbühl presented non-commercial projects that give him the opportunity to experiment and maintain interest in new technologies and design capabilities. Ivan Weiss and Michael Kryenbühl told about the B-sides music festival in Lucerne and the Poster book project dedicated to the review of what is happening in the world of graphic design in Lucerne.

During the festival, there was a presentation of the book «American readers at home» by Ludovic Balland about the perception of the news in the media by Americans.

Typomania Tomsk

An unusual alphabet appeared on the fence of the Tomsk State University (TSU). Students and young designers collaborated on the project as a part of Typomania festival. Everyone chose his letter and, having developed an individual sketch, with the help of white string, depicted it on the fence.

«On the TSU fence, students and young designers and students created the Russian alphabet from A to Z. Each participant was offered his own letter, on which he developed an individual sketch. It was an important educational and creative task. The letter with all its design features must be first drawn and then made with a white string in the mesh of the fence », — reported RIA Tomsk Dmitry Galkin, director of the Institute of Art and Culture at the TSU.

He also clarified that the project «Tomsk alphabet» as a «graphic experiment» was implemented during the festival «Typomania.Tomsk» — a regional site of one of the largest design forums in Russia, the festival «Typomania» (held in Moscow since 2012). In TSU, the activities of «Typomania.Tomsk» are included in the festival program of the Institute of Art and Culture of the TSU for the 140th anniversary of the university.
