Ode an das Handwerk at Japanisches Palais
Ode an das Handwerk / Ode to Craftsmanship was shown at Japanisches Palais, part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden:
The special exhibition Ode to Craftsmanship, featuring films made by Donata Wenders between 2019 and 2023, provides a portrait of skilled crafts in Saxony. Commissioned by the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, ten installations have been created, focusing on crafts that are characteristic of the region, some of which are at risk of disappearing.
The identity by Office Kay Bachmann extends across posters, booklet, leaflet, postcards, a signage system, flags and ads.
The display titling is set in Ninna (designed by Margot Lévêque), an ornamental typeface whose swashed capitals are each conceived as an illustration rooted in the decorative arts. Secondary headlines and the date are in ABC Synt by Dinamo. The text typeface is Baton from Fatype.
