The World of Advertising
July 21st, 2005Minimalism Fact o’ the Day: In our next exhibition, we’re going to feature two small-scale works by Richard Tuttle from the mid-1960s. Although both works on view at the Pulitzer are oil on wood, Tuttle’s work makes use of a wide variety of humble materials, including paper, rope, string, cloth, wire, cardboard, bubble wrap, nails, and foamcore. Currently on view at San Francisco MOMA is Tuttle’s first major retrospective, tracing 30 years of his artistic career. Their website has lots of interesting and useful information on the artist — especially the interactive feature with videos.
Also: The Pulitzer now has underwriting on KWMU 90.7 FM, St. Louis’ NPR station. It’s so exciting to finally hear the ads on the air. Maybe this is how singers feel when they hear their song on the radio for the first time? Or maybe not. but still, its exciting.
Also, we have a brand new poster that we’re going to blanket St. Louis with. Maybe even have planes fly above the city and rain them on the ground (maybe I’m exaggerating a little). But it’s really nice, Bruce Burton, graphic designer at the Contemporary, made it and it looks beautiful.
Here’s what it looks like–feel free to print out a copy for your bedroom wall.
