In contemporary visual communication design, designers have practiced many variable and transformative typography exploring complex, interconnected, and hybrid systems. Such phenomena have also created type-driven landscapes where graphic designers have reflected on their multicultural, multi/ translingual, and liquid identities. We imagine a space-time where writing systems and typographic identities, Hangul (Korean) and English, meet and intersect to respond to those design practices. This exhibition, Typo-Heterochronia, creates an alternative and a temporary space to examine the diversity of typography and captures different typographical times between Seoul and Atlanta. Also, it conceives of new narratives in typography research and attempts to build a global-local network between Seoul, Korea, and Atlanta, USA.

타이포그래피를 기반으로 한 디자인들은 최근 혼성적, 혼종적, 변형적인 시스템을 연구/실천하거나, 다문화, 다국어, 초국어 및 유동적 정체성이 반영된 조형을 보여줍니다. 타이포-헤테로크로니아 전시는 이러한 현상에 대한 응답으로서, 국어와 영어의 타이포그래피적 정체성들이 만나고 교차하는 시공간을 상상합니다. 타이포그래피의 다양성을 위해서, 서울과 애틀랜타 사이에서 존재하는 서로 다른 타이포그래피적 시간과 대안적이거나 임시적인 공간을 포착합니다. 또한 타이포-헤테로크로니아는 타이포그래피의 표면에서부터, 창의적인 코드, 문자공간 및 형태를 이르는 작업들, 서울과 애틀란타에서 활동하는 디자이너들의 작품을 소개함으로써 유동성, 가변성, 코드 메쉬성, 동시성, 이질성, 혼성성, 토착성, 상대성 등 다양한 타이포그래피적 표현양식을 살펴봅니다.  이번 전시를 통해 타이포그래피 연구와 창작, 실천의 새로운 이야기를 쓰고, 서울과 애틀랜타 사이의 글로벌 로컬 네트워크를 구축하는 계기가 되기를 바랍니다.
