Crossing Border 2006: Menno Wigman




Typeradio Podcast show

Summary: War of words, live from the Crossing Border festival 2006. Typeradio discussed with 4 guests the limitations and strength of the written and spoken word. The guests included the most discerning book designer of the Netherlands Tessa van der Waals, furiously renowned European poet Menno Wigman, Fluxus legend Willem de Ridder – whose spoken words have no limit and worldwide acknowledged type designer Gerard Unger – whose knowledge of the letter form exceeds all others. Listen to Menno Wigmans point of view. Writing is imitation. The do-it-yourself attitude. Graphic Designers are punks. Bembo, Charlotte & Dolly.
