Language Structures Library Exhibit
Toronto artist Paul Aloisi's"Language Structures" exhibit is currently featured at the Library. His work will be displayed in the Glass Case Gallery from Mar. 1–May 12 at Central Branch.
His sculptural works explore relationships between typography, architecture and social space. Examining letterforms as building blocks of communication, "Language Structures" underlines Aloisi’s critical perspectives on mass media in the built environment, particularly in public social spaces in an urban context.
