Visuel identity for artist-run centre Western Front, 2021. Developed in an ongoing close collaboration with executive director Susan Gibb.
Western Front was founded in 1973 by artists Kate Craig, Glenn Lewis, Eric Metcalfe, Michael Morris, and Vincent Trasov, composer Martin Bartlett, architect Mo van Nostrand, and writer Henry Greenhow, who collectively purchased the Knights of Pythias Lodge at 303 East 8th Ave as a communal space in which to live and work. They incorporated as a non-profit society in 1974, and named the organization Western Front in reference to the building’s pioneer-like façade, its geographic location on the West Coast of Canada, and their pursuits with avant-garde art.

It compiles excerpts of found and written texts (sources include Jenny Holzer: Truisms, Roland Barthes: S/Z, Robert Walser: Helblings Geschichte and Suzanne Rochibaud: The room of nothingness). Photographs document a handmade 64 m2 wall-to-wall carpet and a series of exercises presented during events that took place within the exhibition space.

Line-Gry Hørup is a designer, writer and researcher working independently and collaboratively with people such as poets, writers, artists, designers, editors and curators. She works primarily with the production of books and visual identities.
Her studio is based in Copenhagen and is named Asterpile after a poem in her first publication: BLOOD – The Poems and Archive of R. Broby-Johansen (Kunstverein Publishing 2020). She co-runs project space and studio for graphic design and publishing, stanza.
She holds a BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and a MFA from Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem.
Her work begins from an interest in photography and semantic translation, especially within the relationship between graphic design, poetry and image. She is also interested in ways of teaching (critical) graphic design, fine arts and writing — and currently has a professorship at Karlsruhe University of Art and Design. She has previously been guest lecturer at Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Parsons School of Design – The New School New York and The Royal Danish Academy of Design and Architecture Copenhagen.
