1.Tipoteca Italiana turned 30! Buon compleanno, Tipoteca! - video
2. ‘Typefaces’ expo. Letters zijn overal, van koppen in de krant tot signalisatie langs de weg. Van affiches die je vrolijk toeschreeuwen tot de brief die je streng aanspreekt. Met vette lijnen, zwierige rondingen of strenge hoeken: de keuze van de letters zet de boodschap kracht bij. Typografie blijft vaak onopgemerkt, maar is een unieke kunstvorm waarin vakmanschap en creativiteit samenkomen. Reden genoeg voor het Industriemuseum om er een expo aan te wijden. 11.07.2025 - 22.02.2026, Industriemuseum - link

1.Printopia – The vinyl record. In the year 2021, Tipos en su Tinta were offered an artist residency at the Fine Art Museum of Tenerife. At about the same time the experimental musician Ernst Surberg visited their workshop and got inspired by the sounds and interacting movements of the ‘bodies’: machines and humans. Recordings of the activity became musical material, that again was manipulated and performed live together with musician Esther Ropón at the closure event of the exhibition. The cover and poster illustration were created by printing an obsolete hard drive and other discarded objects from modern living, making reference to the unique mixture of mechanical sounds from the workshop and their modulations with the synthesizer, but also to emphasize the continuous long life of the letterpress printing technique - link
