Announcing the newest art exhibition at Cairo, featuring “Last Words”,
by artist and graphic designer Christopher
Harrell. The show features a collection of mostly typographic posters
printed on an old Vandercook letterpress. The words are mostly true and mostly
come from the last lines of books.
Artist Statement:
“I have always thought that Words held a sort of power. My work
is inspired by/copies the words we read on books and screens everyday. I find
the separation of a line from the body of work that it has come from an
interesting juxtaposition that may or may not tell us something about nostalgia
or ourselves or something similarly impressive sounding. I hope my work will
someday help me understand what they meant when they wrote, “Aurum Nostrum non
est Aurum Vulgi”.”
