Sobre Cor [On Color], a new installation by Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain, combines five typographies developed by the artists and texts, concepts and theories about color by five different authors.
In the 60 screen prints, concepts and theories about color taken from Ludwig Wittgenstein [Remarks on Colour], Goethe [Theory of Colour], Maxwell [Experiments on Color, the Perceived by the eye], Isaac Newton [ Optiks] and Aristotle [De Sensu et sensibilia], are combined with Helvética Concentrated, Polígona Equilátera, Roseta, Retícula and Linear.
The different lines are expressed in primary colors, cyan, magenta and yellow, and come in different shapes according to the typography used, either through the succession of polygons with increasing number of sides equivalent to the alphabetical order of the triangle A icosioctágono equilateral Z in Polígona Equilátera; on the alphabet formed by growing radial lines starting from the center of each letter in Roseta, in a plot scale of intensity, with gradual values from A to Z in Retícula; on parallel lines equal to their position in alphabetical order Linear, or on the different disk sizes determined by different shape of the letters in Helvetica Concentrated.
The voices of Wittgenstein, Goethe, Maxwell, Newton and Aristotle combined with Detanico Lain typographies present 60 dialogues on color.
