Maszyna do komunikacji

"A machine for communicating : around the Avant-garde idea of new typography" is a collection of papers presented to the conference that accompanied the exhibition "Changing the Field of View : Modern Printing and the Avant-garde." The exhibition that was on view at the Muzeum Sztuki in Lódz in 2014 discussed the ideas of modern graphic design and modernised printing worked out by the circles of interwar avant-garde. Its point of departure was Wladyslaw Strzeminski's idea of functional print that was close to the New Typography proposed by Jan Tschichold. Articles included in A Machine for Communicating. Around the Avant-garde Idea of New Typography as stressed by the editors Paulina Kurc-Maj and Daniel Muzyczuk make an anthology that researches the roots, mechanisms, and effects of avant-garde artists' interest in graphic design without leaving aside references to other phenomena of culture.
