The screening Image, Text, Time: Typography in Artists’ Film and Video – selected by Fraser Muggeridge and Will Rose, during Publish and Be Damned 2013, March 2, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London – brings together artists’ films and videos in which typography plays a central role. The screening will look at how typography has been used to shape new aesthetic relationships between image, text and time, and how viewing moving image might be considered as a process of reading as well as looking.
