SUMMARY:Ed Fella: Exit Level Design\, 1985–2012
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition:  Ed Fella: Exit Level Design\, 1985–2012 curated by Rick Poynor. Monday 31 January – Friday 25 March 2022\, Department of Typography & Graphic Communication\, ToB2\, Earley Gate.  \n The American graphic designer Edward Fella’s career divides into two complementary phases. For 30 years\, Fella (born 1938) worked as a designer\, commercial artist and illustrator in Detroit\, Michigan. In his late 40s\, hoping to teach\, he gained a first degree in graphic design and studied for an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art\, then a centre of theoretical thinking and experimental graphic practice. In the second phase of his career – the focus of this exhibition – Fella became\, as he put it\, an “exit level designer”\, leaving clients and commissions behind to teach at California Institute of the Arts and pursue a freewheeling investigation of form unique in contemporary graphic design. After years of professional studio experience\, Fella was a master of diverse graphic styles and hand-lettering. Work that might at first glance seem neglectful of design’s cardinal “rules” came from a deep well of knowledge. He created flyers for lectures by himself and other designers that are loaded with allusions. In his sketchbooks\, he produced a daily stream of collages and drawings best understood as art about design. In his 50s\, Fella became internationally famous for a self-motivated body of work that overflows with invention and surprise. \nCredit: Flyer designed by Ed Fella

SUMMARY:Conference - Inside and Outside Modernism: An Anatomy of 1922 and its Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Monday 28th March 2022 \n“James Joyce is quite wrong headed. Anyhow\, with his wilfulness\, he has made novel reading into a fair imitation of penal servitude…” (ARNOLD BENNETT on ULYSSES) \nKeynote Speakers: Professor Patrick Collier (Ball State University)\, Dr Beci Carver (University of Exeter) \nThis one-day conference intends to examine 1922 looking at the cultures and writers associated with this significant year\, in all their forms and geographical spread. It will consider the year holistically\, considering cultural and personal interactions and how they relate to the intellectual work of modernism. The conference is designed to bring the year into clearer focus with interdisciplinary contributions from politics\, history\, science\, economics\, music\, literature\, book history and visual culture and areas that have fallen outside the purview of traditional modernism. Some questions the conference would like to approach include: how has modernism impacted on the study of artistic cultures? How far did recent history shape social attitudes? How did the political and economic uncertainties in 1922 permeate different cultures? Was 1922 important for anything more than modernism itself? \nPanels: \n\nEphemeral Modernism\nPoetry and Performance\nHigh Modernism\nPublishing and Trade\n\nOther highlights include: \n\nUniversity of Reading Special Collection and Archive exhibition of materials\nThe Handheld Press will showcase a selection of texts for attendees to browse and purchase on the day\n\nThe conference will take place in-person at the University of Reading\, London Road Campus\, with some blended panels. Please note that the schedule is subject to change according to University COVID-19 guidance and advice. We will inform all speakers and attendees of any changes in advance of the conference as soon as possible. \nRegistration is free but places are limited and will be available on a first come\, first served basis. Lunch and refreshments will be available to purchase on-site. Register here. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact the organisers\, Benjamin Bruce (b.bruce@pgr.reading.ac.uk) and Domonique Davies (domonique.davies@pgr.reading.ac.uk) \nSupported by the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing and the Samuel Beckett Research Centre at University of Reading.
