Creative Review – Inside the (new) Herb Lubalin Study Center

TextFields is an investigation into the metaphysical worlds between text and space.

We are interested in the possible forces that text can generate within a spatial and formal context.

Exploring the sensual energy of unfocused and charged textual forms, we want to understand where do fonts and space lose their limits, where do they become forces and vectors in a field, and where this field is perceived as a field for the unfamiliar; a field without a perceived centre, a field where the inherent qualities of both are dismantled, where the reader, the voyeur and the visitor are intertwined, and where in this lies the emergence of a field of text.
