Graphic Design: Erik Brandt's garage wall is one of the best curated exhibitions around

Ficciones Typografika is a pretty humble personal project created by Erik Brandt, a Minneapolis native with some talented international mates. The project offers a platform for type and graphic designers to create one-off experiments to be produced as posters and wheat-pasted onto a designated exhibition space in the Powderhorn area of Minneapolis. The space is on the side of Erik’s garage though, in an area just big enough to fit three 24″ × 36″ posters. So far the exhibitors have included Benoît Bodhuin, Lauren Thorson and Erik himself, but these abstract pieces from the excellent Feixen are some of our favourites.

A rectangular painting of black and white abstract patterns hangs on a tan wall. The work is split into three vertical sections featuring linear, wavy, and fragmented shapes. Orange lilies grow in the foreground.
