Posted: Thursday, February 27, 2014Sunday: Screening of 'Making Faces: Metal Type in the 21st Century'
The Burchfield Penney Art Center is pleased to welcome Buffalo State alumnus Richard Kegler, '88, for a discussion, demonstration, and screening of his documentary film, Making Faces: Metal Type in the 21st Century, on Sunday, March 2, at 1:30 p.m. in the Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Auditorium.
This fascinating design documentary captures the personality and work process of the late Canadian graphic artist Jim Rimmer (1931–2010).
In 2008, P22 type foundry commissioned Rimmer to create a new type design (Stern) that became the first simultaneous release of a digital font and hand-set metal font. Rimmer was one of only a few who possessed the skills needed to create a metal font. This film is a unique opportunity to share Rimmer's knowledge, processes, and passions with the world.
Free with general gallery admission; free for students, faculty, and staff of Buffalo State.
More information is available on the Burchfield Penney website.
