Blanka and Candy in association with Veer present ‘50’
celebrating 50 years of Helvetica

50 image makers, 50 original works

[The Brief]
Each artist was allocated a random year [1957 - 2006] from Helvetica’s lifetime. From this they were asked to create an image based on an event of creative or cultural significance which occured during their allocated year. The artist were asked to consider the relevance of Helvetica when creating their final piece, there were no other rules applied other than if they used a typeface it must be Helvetica.

The 50 exhibition runs at the Design Museum in 2 installments:

1957 - 1981
19 July - 9 August

1982 - 2006
10 August – 31 August 2007
