Special March Visiting Artist: John Grandits

Award-winning book and magazine designer John Grandits has been fascinated by type and printing all his life. He is the author of two books of concrete poetry: Technically, It’s Not My Fault and Blue Lipstick. His protagonist’s hilarious views of the world are expressed through a series of concrete poems in which words, ideas, type, and art combine to make pictures and patterns. You may have to turn the book sideways and upside down to read them, but laughter is 100% guaranteed.

John Grandits will lead the following program:
DIY@DMA: Thursday, March 18, 6:30–8:30 p.m.
Try your own hand at concrete poetry inspired by works of art.
