Join us at the main stage for a lecture from designer Fraser Muggeridge, founder of Typography Summer School, a week-long programme of typographic study for recent graduates and professionals, held in London (since 2010) and New York (since 2013). Fraser will discuss typography as a dedicated craft and his ongoing collaborations with artists such as long time collaborator Jeremy Deller – be sure to check-out their co-produced billboards across Dundee this September and October.
Fraser Muggeridge (UK, 1973) is a graphic designer and director of Fraser Muggeridge studio, based in London. Throughout a wide range of formats, from artists’ books and exhibition catalogues to posters, marketing material, exhibitions and websites, the studio prioritises artists’ and writers’ content over the imposition of a signature style. By allowing images and texts to sustain their own intent and impact, each project is approached with typographic form and letterform playing a key role in arriving at a sympathetic yet subtly alluring object. Work is held at the Special Collections at Chelsea College of Arts Library, London; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art Library, New York and The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
