They turn into sinking minutes and seconds and run out before you realize it.

Helvetica at 50

September 5th, 2007 Jerry

helvetica at colette

Colette Paris is currently running Helvetica at 50, an exhibit curated by Gary Hustwit, director of the documentary film Helvetica.

As read from Gary’s official blog:

    For the colette show, I managed to cobble together a nice little overview of Helvetica, with a selection of movie posters, record covers, prints, t-shirts, and other ephemera. Special thanks to Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones for their contribution of several rare Helvetica brochures from the Haas and Stempel era. The film is being shown on a loop on a huge plasma screen, and I also got to sprinkle Helvetica-releated quotes from various designers around the walls of the store. They’ve brought in stock of Lars Müller’s Helvetica book, and a bunch of great t-shirts from Blanka.

We are unfortunately stuck on this island with our work and unable to make it to the show. However, having been waiting too long for an official screening to reach here, we’ve already ordered our Helvetica DVD boxset Deluxe limited edition, which includes the retail DVD, three letterpressed mini-posters, a color C-print of a still from the film (one of ten different stills) signed by Gary Hustwit, two love/hate Helvetica buttons, and a letter of actual Helvetica metal type! Now all we can do is wait…

Colette’s exhibit running from 3rd to 29th September.
