The Herb Lubalin Lecture Series

The Herb Lubalin Lecture Series is a part of Type@Cooper which is open to the public for free. The lectures thematically follow the overall curriculum of the program, offering students a deeper insight into specific and relevant topics.

In this talk, Felipe Taborda will present the web series of articles he has been writing for Experimenta magazine called, “<a href="https://www.experimenta.es/?s=maestros+del+diseno+en+america+latina" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Maestros del Diseño en América Latina</a>”. The series he writes is a closer look at the work of a few professionals of graphic design from Latin America, generally unknown and misunderstood, and often not recognized internationally — and even in their own countries. This talk will focus on five masters of typography: Álvaro Sotillo (Venezuela), Félix Beltrán (Mexico/Cuba), Fernando Pimenta (Brazil), Jaime de Albarracín (Peru), and Rubén Fontana (Argentina).Felipe Taborda is a graphic designer, author, and curator from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A graduate of Rio’s Catholic University, he studied cinema and photography at the London International Film School (England), Communication Arts at the New York Institute of Technology, and Graphic Design at the School of Visual Arts (USA). He has had his own office since 1990, working mainly in the cultural, publishing, and recording areas. In 2008 he launched his book Latin American Graphic Design, published by Taschen (Germany). In 2014 St John’s University (New York) organized the exhibition Another Point of View, covering 30 years of his graphic works. He has curated the event Footb-All Mix / 32 Posters for a Passionate Game for the 2018 Russia World Cup. In October 2018 he had two simultaneous retrospective exhibitions: Todo al Revés / The Graphic Work of Felipe Taborda, during Madrid Gráfica 2018 (Spain); and Cara a Tapa / The Visual Music of Felipe Taborda, one of the official exhibitions of the International Poster Biennial (Mexico). For six months, between 2019 and 2020, he was in Europe at the invitation of universities and institutions, first in Barcelona (Spain) and later in London (England). For more than 40 years he was an international correspondent for the late magazines: Novum Gebrauchsgrafik (Germany) and Print (USA). He is now a correspondent of Experimenta (Spain) and Grafikmagazin (Germany).Experimenta Web Series Maestros del Diseño en América Latina: <a href="https://www.experimenta.es/?s=maestros+del+diseno+en+america+latina" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.experimenta.es/?s=maestros+del+diseno+en+america+latina</a><a href="http://www.felipetaborda.com.br/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.felipetaborda.com.br</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ftaborda.design/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@ftaborda.design</a>
