For more than 80 years, they brightened city street corners and telephone poles, country crossroads and union halls, shouting the names of bands and the dates of carnivals up and down the East Coast. A Globe Poster made you look, with its bright inks and bold type that shook and shimmied. Founded in 1929, Globe grew by leaps, bounds and bold swatches of DayGlo color into one of the nation’s largest showcard printing companies. Starting with vaudeville, movies, burlesque and carnival, Globe found its groove in the 1960s with posters for top R&B and rock acts like James Brown, Otis Redding, and Ike and Tina Turner. In 1975, Joseph Cicero Sr., a longtime employee of the company, purchased Globe Poster from owner Norman Shapiro. Cicero’s sons, Bob, Frank and Joe Jr., followed their father into the business, carrying Globe’s iconic style forward into the rap, hip-hop and Go-Go scenes. With demand for posters dwindling in this digital age, the Cicero brothers decided to close up shop in 2010. But Baltimoreans and students aware of Globe’s legacy formed a Friends of Globe group to find a new home for its treasures. Because of that vision, the desire of the Ciceros to keep Globe in Baltimore, and MICA’s creative thinking, Globe did not die. Truckloads of wood type, letterpress cuts and other tools of the trade moved from Highland- town to MICA in the summer of 2011, and when the fall semester started, Bob Cicero began teaching a new generation of artists how to make a poster “pop.” For more information about the Globe Collection and Press at MICA, visit www.mica.edu/globecollection or email globe@mica.edu Exhibition team: MICA graduate students Allison Gulick, Deana Haggag, Chloe Helton-Gallagher, Kelcey Towell MICA alumna Allison Fisher ‘11, Globe consultant at MICA Mary Mashburn Extra special thanks to Bob and Frank Cicero and to all the Friends of Globe in Baltimore and beyond who helped to save Globe’s treasures <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3090055/DSC_2256.jpeg" width="600" height="398" width_o="600" height_o="398" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3090055/DSC_2256_o.jpeg" data-mid="15886986" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3090055/DSC_2258.jpeg" width="401" height="561" width_o="401" height_o="561" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3090055/DSC_2258_o.jpeg" data-mid="15886988" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3090055/DSC_2259.jpeg" width="600" height="398" width_o="600" height_o="398" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3090055/DSC_2259_o.jpeg" data-mid="15886990" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.kelceytowell.com/Directives http://www.kelceytowell.com/following/kelceytowell.com/Directives Tue, 27 Mar 2012 02:28:25 +0000 Kelcey Towell 3084542 Process Directives: For When You Get Stuck // www.thinking-stuff.org // Done in collaboration MFA Candidates: Inna Alesina, Young Sun Compton, Javier Lopez, Qian Li, Nico Kremershof, Luiz Ludwig, Nicki Dlugash, Sarah Robertson, Jason Gottlieb, and Brian Pelsoh. <img src="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3084542/directives_640.jpg" width="640" height="519" width_o="700" height_o="568" src_o="http://payload39.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/3084542/directives_o.jpg" data-mid="15743199" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.kelceytowell.com/Play-with-your-assets http://www.kelceytowell.com/following/kelceytowell.com/Play-with-your-assets Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:07:30 +0000 Kelcey Towell 2785222 <img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/DSCN7601_web.jpg" width="600" height="450" width_o="600" height_o="450" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/DSCN7601_web_o.jpg" data-mid="14136166" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/DSCN7578_web.jpg" width="600" height="450" width_o="600" height_o="450" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/DSCN7578_web_o.jpg" data-mid="14136218" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/DSCN7563_web.jpg" width="600" height="450" width_o="600" height_o="450" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/DSCN7563_web_o.jpg" data-mid="14136178" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/Assets_web.jpg" width="640" height="421" width_o="640" height_o="421" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/Assets_web_o.jpg" data-mid="14939605" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/Screen shot 2012-04-17 at 9.39.48 AM_7_640.png" width="640" height="403" width_o="1915" height_o="1208" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/Screen shot 2012-04-17 at 9.39.48 AM_7_o.png" data-mid="16500707" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/assets_web2.jpg" width="640" height="404" width_o="640" height_o="404" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/assets_web2_o.jpg" data-mid="14939606" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/assets_web3.jpg" width="640" height="396" width_o="640" height_o="396" src_o="http://payload24.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2785222/assets_web3_o.jpg" data-mid="14939607" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.kelceytowell.com/Sugar-Cube-Typography http://www.kelceytowell.com/following/kelceytowell.com/Sugar-Cube-Typography Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:19:10 +0000 Kelcey Towell 2700270 SUGAR CUBE TYPOGRAPHY This type experiment was born from an excess amount of sugar cubes, piled up in my studio. Why not use sugar cube to create modular type? Each sugar sube letter is glued together with corn syrup (making the letter entirely edible), and then given a bath in hot coffee. Time-lapsed photos were then taken to show the sugar as it dissolves into the pan. The letters dissolve, creating a beautiful haze around each letter that resembled anti-aliasing and hinting of web fonts. <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2700270/S-GIF_640.gif" width="640" height="434" width_o="640" height_o="434" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2700270/S-GIF_640_o.gif" data-mid="13761066" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2700270/H_web.jpg" width="640" height="800" width_o="640" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/5/184066/2700270/H_web_o.jpg" data-mid="13761424" border="0" align="left"/>
