Atelier Carvalho Bernau: Current Affairs

1+1+1=3, Volume II

14 March 2013

When we first designed 1+1+1=3 for Culturgest, we already knew it was going to be a series of exhibitions within a strict format, with an accompanying series of publications, also in a strict format. We’re really happy with how the second volume came out, featuring Bernard Voïta, Hermann Pitz and Michael Snow.

As previously, each artist either contributes a completely new work for the book or reveals parts of the process leading up to the works in the exhibition: 1+1+1=3 Vol. II might be the most complete account of Hermann Pitz’s Sofortbilder today; Bernard Voïta shows us a fantastic herbarium of emotional peaks, and Michael Snow was inspired by 1+1+1’s blank separator spreads to make a series if Illuminations of the previous book.

Available from Culturgest.

This week, we’re going crazy over image rendering on the “The New iPad”, and finding that @2x graphics don’t work very well for showing typefaces:

Legibility

20 February 2012

Today we launched the new website of curator and writer Maaike Lauwaert:

During the development we noticed a curious little bug in Google Chrome:

The CSS-property text-rendering:optimizeLegibility switches on font kerning in browsers that support it, but Chrome seemed to have problems with calculating which parts of the page should get a roll-over effect:

It's a small bug, and other browsers seem not affected by this, but it really bothered us. So for the moment, it's /* text-rendering:optimizeLegibility; */
