Helvetica Disappointment
I went to MoMA today in search of the film Helvetica. I had the chance last spring to see the film at the Gene Siskel Film Center and see the director Gary Hustwit talk. I have always been a rather large fan of typography and really enjoyed the film. Unfortunately, it has become hard for me to get my hands on a copy of it. I know I could just order it off of Amazon, which I am about to do in a moment, but I really just wanted to pick up a copy. I though MoMA would be a good place to find it since they currently have an exhibition about the typeface. Helvetica aside I check out some of their new shows. Multiplex Directions in Art 1970 till Now had work from Rodney Graham, Jenny Holzer and Mike Kelly, just to name a few. I walked through the show briskly and noticed some purposefully awkwardly hung work. The show itself is rather large and for the most part I only approached work that either caught my fancy or that I recognized. I'll probably head back when it is less crowded to get a better look.
