János Megyik: Photograms
exhibition graphics and identity
Art Institute of Chicago
2024
Aiming for a “sober” identity, I used a slightly tracked in typesetting of a house typeface to better mimic the overlapping and tight forms within the work.
About the show:
For six decades, János Megyik (Hungarian, born 1938) has been making poetic investigations of fractal geometry and perspectival systems, motivated by questions of point, line, plane, volume, and all that lies between and beyond their innumerable intersections. In 1983, following a decade or so spent building constructions from larch wood, the artist started experimenting with the cameraless technique known as the photogram. The first US museum exhibition of the artist’s work, János Megyik Photograms includes 12 large-scale photograms and one wall construction, his sculpture Corpus.
