That most ubiquitous of typefaces
This Saturday, Boston (ok, Cambridge) has the Boston Modern Orchestra Project at Sanders Theatre, with premieres of cutting-edge compositions by Evan Ziporyn and Steven Mackey, Anthony DeRitis' Dreamhouse with DJ Spooky, Synergy Vocals, Catch Electric Guitar Quartet and actor and vocal wild man Rinde Eckert, all wrapped up with a bow by BMOP's man of vision and humor, Gil Rose. In short, it's an orchestral concert of the highest order that wouldn't be out of place at a club in Central Square.
What about New York, you ask? Well, New York has 50 Years of Helvetica (you know, that most ubiquitous of typefaces?) at MOMA. Not to cast aspersions, but would you choose Helvetica? If so, I know a bus you can get on...
(Full disclosure, the Helvetica exhibition runs until March 31, 2008, so if you are as big a dweeb as I am and actually think the it sounds interesting, you have some time.)
