Just spotted an interesting exhibition in Antwerp next week:
"An exhibition of stencil letters from the 18th century to the present day. Assembled by Eric Kindel and Fred Smeijers, the exhibition will feature a rich selection of stencil letters in the context of artefacts, documents and ephemera, including stencil plates and stencilling devices, specimens and catalogues, patent inventions and much more. A highlight of the exhibition will be a set of new stencil typefaces designed by Maurice Göldner, Pierre Pané-Fauré and Fred Smeijers. "
