‘We are ships on the sea, not ducks on a Pond’
Published every 15 days during the French university year, September to June, Revue Faire is a vital addition to the small selection of journals addressing graphic design from a critical standpoint. Every issue generally consists of a single essay on a different creative subject, presented in the magazine’s glorious graphic style.
Artist Lawrence Weiner’s use of graphic design has always been a fascination to graphic designers. Here, Joris Kritis analyses his work from the point of view of a designer. In the second, cut-down section, designers Linda van Deursen and Nora Turato talk about their relationship with Weiner’s type based art.
On the Journal
At Work With founders Sacha and François: ‘We started Revue Faire as we finished being weekly lecturers in graphic design schools. But the publishing rhythm is based on the school schedule—an issue every 15 days, from September to June. The main purpose is to deliver every 15 days a kind of small course about one specific topic. In that way, one season can become a kind of visual culture course in 15 lessons.’
