Current Exhibit in the Open Book Lobby Gallery Swiss Impressions: Romani Hänni and the Art of Metal Type July 12 – September 3, 2008 Opening reception Saturday, July 12, in coordination with Face The Nation View the stunning technique and design mastery of Basel designer/printer Romano Hänni in this exhibition of hand-printed books. Educated at the Basel School of Design, Hänni returns to the core values of traditional printing technique and modernist European design. The strict limitations of hand typesetting are his cornerstone, everything composed from the incremental units of type and spacing available in the type shop. Hänni's work encompasses a wide range of fields in visual communication, from books, magazines, catalogs and newspapers to drawings, photography and journalism about design and everyday culture. All exhibits are free of charge and open to the public.
