Introduction by Diego Zaccaria
page vingt-trois
page vingt-six
page vingt-sept
Voltaire once said that writing is painting with words. Plato suspected that it froze speech
and therefore thought. Burdened with this original suspicion, writing is nonetheless indispensable to our social interactions, which have become more complex as society has evolved
and economic and trading exchanges have developed. It is built not in opposition to but
in parallel with the human memory, pushing the limits, producing information that is
understandable and shared by all, initially useful in preserving oral information, and then
in reproducing the spoken word.
In its function as communication, writing is an act of translation. A test, as Paul
Ricoeur says, that makes the translator’s role as mediator an uncomfortable one. Thought,
then, the message to be translated into signs that resist the written form, that resist a synthesis of the image. The choice is decisive for the visual translator, torn between the resistance
of the thought, a message that is reluctant to become frozen, and the resistance of the reader,
the viewer who reads or understands the image according to his own social and cultural
code. So it is that writing is a mark, a trace, that is vital in understanding the world and its
motion, from the time of the prehistoric hunter who tried to make out the animal’s movements by the tracks left in the soil, right up to modern man who takes in information in
multiple forms.
How can the energy of thought, the expressivity of the spoken word best be
rendered? Contemporary graphic designers have harnessed themselves to the precept rather
than to the question, broadening the path forged by the poets (Mallarmé, Apollinaire,
Marinetti…), drawing on the quest by avant-garde artists throughout the twentieth century. Working in their turn, typographers have tried to restore a “voice” to the frozen word
by redesigning the contours of letters, slimming down and swelling out their bodies, giving
them a bit of boldness to help them find the right “tone”. Along with the “image-makers”,
they start to form a sort of grammar, a vocabulary in perpetual effervescence, given impetus
by the rhythms and necessities of social life.

The exhibition “We love books!—a world tour” sheds new light on contemporary publishing around the world. Unexpected, surprising, always inventive, colourful, these books,
exhibited at moulins de Villancourt, illustrate different forms of written and visual expression
around the world, representing a vast cultural diversity:
“Books of the world”— more than 100 graphic artists from Asia, the Central and South Pacific,
the Middle East, Africa, Europe, North and Latin America offer us books that are both
unexpected and inventive. They invite us to their studios, bookshops, libraries and literary cafés in their town or country. From New Zealand to Norway, Japan to Peru, Egypt to
Canada and the Netherlands to Argentina, they accompany us on a veritable world tour of
books;
“Madame Bovary Around the World” (« Universelle Madame Bovary »)—the famous novel by
Flaubert has been published throughout the world. Each book cover, with its images and
script, invites you to go on journey.
At the Géo-Charles Gallery you will find:
“New York Art Directors” («Directeurs artistiques à New York»)—four of the leading directors in the USA share their experiences as graphic artists or artistic directors at publishing
houses such as Random House, Alfred A. Knopf, Vintage and Anchor Books;
“Graphic Designers in Taiwan” (« Graphistes à Taiwan »)—six young graphic artists from Taiwan
display their books, flyers, and posters which often have a “pop art” feel. They offer us an
image that far removed from the cliché of this island which the Portuguese, it’s discoverers,
named “Formosa”, the “Beautiful One”;
“Books in Cambodia” («Livres au Cambodge»)— illustrated, colourful, vernacular, often naive,
the book covers for novels published in khmer (the Cambodian alphabet) are surprising.
They express the popular art that is to be found on the streets of Phnom Penh;
“Madagascar”—in this multicultural island for a long time ignored, paper is rare and recycled.
And yet they publish newspapers, public health manuals, graphic novels and novels.
These various installations pay homage to contemporary graphic art.

The choice of books exhibited comes out of a collaboration between poster artist Michel
Bouvet, graphic artists Claire Balay and Odile Chambaut—who make up the Michel
Bouvet Workshop—, writer and critic Philippe Di Folco, and production and coordination Marie-Edith Agostini-Simonneaux and the selection is, above all, a reflection of joint
and individual choices. This voyage through graphic art is part of the series of exhibitions
presented during the previous Graphic Art Months in Echirolles with this same focus to
international artists. The serieshas already included: “Graphic Artists Around The World”
(2000), “East Coast/West Coast, graphic artists in the United States” (2002), “Swinging
London, graphic art and music today” (2004, “9 women graphic artists” 2006.

Philippe Apeloig was born in 1962 in Paris and studied applied arts at Duperré School
and at the École nationale supérieure des Arts décoratifs (Ensad, National College of
Decorative Arts). He discovered typography, which was to become his point of reference
after being trained as a calligrapher by Roger Druet, during two internships at Total Design
(Amsterdam) in 1983 and 1985. He was then recruited by the musée d’Orsay as graphic artist
before jetting off to Los Angeles in 1988, where he spent a year with April Greiman.
Back in Paris, he opened his own studio and worked for a number of cultural
institutions, not without a few forays into publishing as Director of Jardin des Modes. In
1993, he was appointed Artistic Director at the Louvre. In parallel with this busy creative
life, Philippe Apeloig has taught at Ensad in Paris and at the Copper Union School of Art
in New York.
The exhibition presents work completed over some twenty years by Philippe
Apeloig. It enables us to share in his passion for letters, considered “not just as a vehicle for
thought but also as creative matter” (1). Far from flashy fashionable effects, his aim is to
produce work that stands the test of time and enters the collective visual memory.

“K & D , vi de o a r ti sts”
As the collective “Kuntzel+Deygas”, Olivier Kuntzel and Florence Deygas have created a
number of works since 1988, mixing video, graphics and character creation. Olivier Kuntzel
is a graduate of the Olivier-de-Serres school of applied arts, advertising section. Florence
Deygas trained as designer/director of animated films, at the Gobelins-école de l’Image.
K&D have directed unusual and striking videos for Saint-Germain, Bertrand Burgalat and
Dimitri from Paris, shorts and adverts for Coca Cola Japan, Nokia and Toyota, and the
famous credits sequence for the Spielberg film “Catch me if you can”. They have developed
a collaborative style of writing whilst at the same time continuing to carry out personal
projects particularly in the field of design. This exhibition presents a selection of their
work and you will be able to discover or rediscover their trademark characters Caperino &
Peperone, Winney, Com-Pets—now adopted by the worlds of fashion and luxury.
“Spor ti n g Ch a r a c te r s”
The Beijing Olympics have been the major sporting, political, cultural and media event of the
year. Characters used by the Chinese sporting world enable us to learn about some of the
essential aspects of Chinese civilisation, in particular the connections between their writing
and physical and sporting practices. Just as the Chinese script is defined and described in
terms of the body—flesh, bones, blood, skeleton, muscles, tendons—sports are deemed
in China to prolong life and are considered character-building activities. Thirty posters,
created by Chinese graphic artists, illustrate this point. They were selected following a
National competition organised by the Shenzhen association of graphic artists. Each poster
is accompanied by a description, giving the explanations necessary for understanding the
historic, semiological and social implications of the graphic artist’s intentions. Further panels present the mechanics of Chinese script.

The exhibition presents a selection of posters and books for young people illustrated by
Kvĕta Pacovskà. Kvĕta Pacovskà was born in Prague in 1928 and graduated from the Prague
Academy of Applied Arts in 1952. She works in the areas of graphic art, painting, conceptual
art and young people’s books.
Over seventy exhibitions have been dedicated to her since 1961, when she started
to develop her three dimensional illustrated books. Her books have been translated into a
dozen different languages, including Chinese. She is a worthy inheritor of the great Czech
school of art and her creations express the fusion that is possible between the plastic arts,
graphic art and typography.

Books are a treasure trove. The writer’s imagination, style and words lead us to the unknown
shores to encounter sensitivity, poetry, or more prosaically, social reality. But when the text
is entrusted to a typographical, illustrative, engraving or calligraphic artist, the book in its
finished form becomes a treasure in and of itself, a real artist’s book. The Echirolles libraries
treasures are opened up for the first time to the gaze of local residents and lovers of beautiful work.

An explorer of all forms of graphic expression, Justin Grégoire can wield a pair of scissors
faster than a paint brush. He is a master of the art of cutting out silhouettes, rearranging
words as images and of creating “animots”, and paper cut-outs have become his favourite
technique. After the retrospective exhibition that was dedicated to him in 2006, his “animots” are presented in the town centre and can be used as an educational resource.

Film Credits appeared at the beginning of cinematography when it was invented by George
Meliès. He used black card to write his name and the title, with the aim of differentiating
artistic films and films for entertainment from the early scientific films. The story started
after the opening credits, at the start which fulfilled a formal purpose (Title, participants…)
and finished with a card saying “The End”. Gradually, however, filmmakers broke the rules
in order to bring the draw more into the work.
Saul Bass revolutionised film credits in 1955, to create a real introduction to the
film, getting the spectator in the mood. He invented modern credits in the film “The Man
with the Golden Arm” This would not have been possible without the support of directors
such as Preminger and Hitchcock, who understood the role credits played, similar to an
overture at the Opera. Other designers followed suit, like Binder and Ferro.
By the end of the seventies, the first “motion design” companies appeared. In
1995, Kyle Cooper shook up the world of credits with the closing credits to “Se7en”. Today,
compositing 3D software and offer new possibilities and credits are becoming more and
more spectacular. But good credits remain a sequence linking an intellectual subject with
well chosen graphic, typographic and musical compositions. Sometimes the opening credits prove better than the film that follows. These are jewels of graphic art and of the cinema
(which the French like to call the “Seventh Art”).
“Writings” in the plural is an invitation to observe the diversity and singularity of expression and ways of communicating; questioning the proliferation of graphic art methods
and practices at the heart of the constant evolution of techniques and materials across all
written, oral and pictorial cultures. Writing is a social, political and cultural challenge, an
issue involving relationships, power and often social responsibility. And let’s not forget that
if writing is an image it is also a sound, an odour a sensation. Specialists, each well known
in their own field, will present writing and its connections with the spoken word, books,
typography, blogs, multimedia, the on-line press
Tuesday 9th December 2008 The Book as Object (« Le livre comme objet »)
How can the survival of the book be explained in the context of today’s technology? How has the internet changed the models that books have created in our hearts? These
are the questions raised by historian Michel Melot—historian, former Director of the Centre
Georges-Pompidou library and former President of the Libraries Board.
Tuesday 13th January 2009 Blogs into books (« Le blog livre »)
The author François Bon is a leading proponent of literature on the internet via
remue.net, founded in 1997 and via the cooperative project publie.net. His aim is to offer
authors a way of publishing writing which publishers cannot take on, in an industry that
leave little space for literary experimentation. How can we bring together aestheticism, literary research and digital technology?
Tuesday 20th January 2009 Writing and Multimedia (« Écritures et multimédia »)
Having worked for 20 years in the field of business information systems, Dominique
Cotte—lecturer in Information and Communication Sciences—has observed the relationship between graphic forms, semiotic forms and the constraints of the publisher’s and
reader’s perspective. He shares with us what he has learnt about inheritance and innovation
in writing systems and practices and through his assessments of websites created by traditional media outlets.

workshop
“Inspired by the news” (« Les faits divers »). To tell a good story there needs to be a trigger, a
spark that sets fire to the powder of the narration. Whether it is an anecdote picked up in a
bar, something bizarre heard on the radio, or a brief article read in a newspaper, these varied components make up the basic material for all narrators, whether they be story-tellers,
novelists or scriptwriters. David Lynch: Une histoire vraie; Philippe Lioret: Je vais bien ne
t’en fais pas; Raymond Carver: Les vitamines du bonheur; Kressmann Taylor: Inconnu à cette
adresse.
Starting with a newspaper snippet, students will design book covers with catchy
titles and one or more images which make you want to open it to find out what happens
next. Getting away from standard typography, they will create specific characters echoing
the image that they have created. They will be helped in this exercise by Rémi Courgeon,
author and illustrator, by Thierry Dedieu, author and illustrator, by Marc Boergers, graphic
designer and typographer and Gonzalo Garcia-Barcha, graphic designer and typographer from
Mexico.

art? A visual means of presenting a message. Visual representation involves methods and
planning, techniques and tools—design, photography, typography, colour, volumes, and
communicating a message involves communication processes a communicating party, a
medium and a receiving party. Graphic design is carried out by people (graphic artists)
who have received training in formal techniques, social sciences and experimentation. The
graphic designer, as any other human being has his own personal relationship with nature
and society: which is the psychological basis for his style and imagination.
