Public was asked by the Museum of Anthropology to design a variety of labelling signage for their exhibition Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens which opened October 29 in the beautiful Audain Gallery. We selected a typeface and layout for the text components of the exhibit that reflected the time period without being kitsch. Some of our proposed concepts for revamping the exhibit invoked the surrealist rationale, with the visitor passing through the rhetorical lens into a transformed space. The final result was an exhibition design which quietly and effectively complemented the works on display, and received some notable favourable reviews in publications such as The Globe and Mail.
