Anticorps exhibition website, Palais de Tokyo
Anticorps (“Antibodies”) is an exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, platforming “the voices of 20 artists from the French and international artistic scene. With recent and new works, they take the pulse of our ability to bond together and help us rethink how we inhabit the world.” Conceived with the experience of lockdown and the adoption of physical distancing, the exhibition is extended and enhanced by an extensive bilingual website, making some of the content available online.
The website was designed by Léna Araguas and Alaric Garnier, featuring an original yet perspicuous user interface built by Sylvain Jule. It makes early use of Enduro, Emmanuel Besse’s vision of an industrial grotesk. The straightforward sans appears in Semibold and Semibold Italic styles, from the exhibition logo and the intro to menus, bios, and more. For the texts, Enduro is paired with Garnier’s own Big Daily Long.
Enduro and Big Daily are both available from Production Type.
Homepage, French version. The intro text fades out, leaving the six keywords/topics as entry points to the exhibition.
All items are organized as layered cards that can be scrolled individually.
Enduro is used for the page intro and the rotated title on the left. The article headline is rendered in Big Daily Italic, with the roman specified for the author’s name.
Paragraph beginnings are marked by large indents, a measure that’s echoed here for the introductory quote.
Related pages are shown as stripes to the left and right and can be accessed by swiping.
The extendable top menu provides quick access to all pages.
When hovering over one of the topics in the top row, all associated artists and texts are highlighted.
