Study For No is the title of Issy Wood’s first solo exhibition in France. The show by the up-and-coming painter from London is on display at Lafayette Anticipations in Paris until January 7, 2024: Borrowing its title from a 2019 painting, it explores the potential of refusal, discussing and resisting orders which secretly weave their way into our daily lives. Building through seduction, humor and cynicism, her work is marked by the recurrence of serialized motifs: hypersexualized glossy leather jackets, gleaming car interiors, immaculate porcelain sets, representations of animals, female figures, and self-portraits —all counting as sites where our ways of being are played out. Curator Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel commissioned Pierre Vanni with the visual identity of the exhibition. Among the items designed by Vanni are the exhibition poster, subway ads, and a bilingual booklet. The selected artwork is an unnerving one, certainly for those of us who are dreading our next dentist’s appointment. It’s titled Study for Wednesday (oil on linen, 2022; © Issy Wood, courtesy the artist; Carlos/Ishikawa, London; and Michael Werner, New York. Photographer: Stephen James). There are two title typefaces used throughout the applications: Kessler is Alaric Garnier’s contemporary take on inscriptional serifs, released with Production Type. Englische Schreibschrift is a classic Anglaise with not-quite-joining letters. It was made in-house at Berthold in the 1970s, under the supervision of Günter Gerhard Lange. All text is shown in silver, echoing the shiny metal of the dental drill.

Issy Wood – Study For No at Lafayette AnticipationsTessa Mars is a Haitian contemporary visual artist, born in 1985 in Port-au-Prince. Her work focuses on Caribbean identity, how this region’s history was shaped by violence, and questions the status of women and their bodies in this legacy. Île Modèle, Manman Zile, Island Template is the catalog of her exhibition presented at Le Centre d'Art in Port-au-Prince from May 31 to June 29, 2019. Paris-based studio Maison Solide took care of the book design and chose to work with Kessler from Production Type. This family by Alaric Garnier is available in three optical sizes. While titles on the cover and for the chapters use capitals from the sharp Super Display style, the body copy is set in the sturdier Kessler Text. There, the designers harnessed much of the potential of the family: from the Italic – which is a modified sloped roman, with cursive elements for unseriffed glyphs – to oldstyle figures and small caps. Kessler is supported by the sans-serif Surt by Blaze Type which is used to set captions and marginal notes. The catalog includes texts by Barbara Prézeau-Stephenson, Veerle Poupeye, and David Frohnapfel, as well as dialogues with Christopher Cozier and Carlo A. Célius. It was published in a bilingual softcover edition (in French and English) by Le Centre d’Art d’Haiti in collaboration with Naima.
