Notes Design

A Recent History of Writing and Drawing is the new show at the ICA, opening on Wednesday 9 July. It's curated by design historian Emily King (who's also design editor at Frieze magazine), and is a project by programmer/designer Jürg Lehni, and graphic designer Alex Rich.  

  

The exhibition will look at "the evolving relationship between technologies of communication and their users", which sounds a bit dry, but should be lots of fun. They've got a large wall-drawing machine, and another machine for hole-punching posters. They've also got a running programme of Thursday evening events which promise to be pretty groovy.  

  

We'll fill in some more detail once the show opens.
