July Type’s typeface JT Picolo is used for both Latin and Cyrillic text throughout the exhibition Repeat after Me II by Open Group in the Polish Pavilion at the 60th International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennale. The exhibition, curated by Marta Czyż, runs until 24 November 2024.
Repeat after Me II is an audiovisual video installation created by the Ukrainian collective Open Group (Yuriy Biley, Pavlo Kovach, Anton Varga). Their work is a collective portrait of witnesses of the ongoing war in Ukraine. The videos presented were created in 2022 and 2024. All the protagonists are civilian refugees speaking of the war through the sounds of weapons they remember, then inviting the audience to repeat after them.
The graphic design of the show was handled by Full Metal Jacket Studio.
