Stills from "But as a document" - Alex Mirutziu/Pär Andersson

Sweden Sans is now a dance
Sweden Sans, Sweden’s official typeface designed by Söderhavet and Stefan Hattenbach has now started to influence other art forms than design and typography. This time dance.
Romanian choreographer Alex Mirutziu has created an art dance piece called ”but as a document” based on Söderhavet’s work with the typography, that is being performed at Museum of Modern Art in Bucharest in 2015.
Alex: My attention was caught by Sweden Sans type, reason why I started a project with a Swedish dancer Pär Andersen to create a performance piece using the underlying sketches of the making of the font, basically to work with the technical specifications of the font in translation into dance. The main question is: How the body adheres to the typeface of a poem to add meaning, and what it might do to the economy of the poem.
– I don’t think this has ever been done before. When Alex contacted us, we were first baffled by the idea of making a dance out of a typeface. Now we are still baffled, but also impressed and honored that our design could inspire someone to create a dance based on it, says Jesper Robinell, Head of design at Söderhavet.

About Sweden Sans
Sweden Sans was designed as a part of Söderhavets work with a new global brand identity for the country Sweden.WehadalreadydecidedonincorporatingtheSwedishflagintotheidentity,aswellasusing alocal- language textual mark. But we still needed to find a unique identity carrier that could be used in widely diverging contexts. The idea of designing a custom typeface was mooted early on — and Sweden Sans was born.

A time for sharing - Iaspis, Open House
Open House / 20.03.15 / Iaspis
The focus is on the artistic process of the Visual and Applied Artists who are in residence right now. This residency period for the first time the majority of the grant holders in Stockholm are active in the area of applied art, and their practice emphasize the interdisciplinary and interesting development today. On the occasion of the Venice Biennale, there will also be panel discussions with Swedish and international artists who are invited to the exhibition.
My discussion partner was Olav Westphalen, visual artist and professor in Fine Art, Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm. Many thanks to him for accommodating my working concepts into his own erudite awareness of art and theory.
On this occasion I want to thank: Johan Pousette, Lena Malm, Nina Øverli, Annika Bjorkman, Annika Enqvist, Henrick Hogberg, and all the people at Iaspis, Stockholm, for their competence and expertise shown during the last five months and Åsa Jungnelius for her kind support over the years.
The spring Open House event, offered an insight into my latest practice which generated the thoughts and approaches which will be further materialised in two works at this year Venice Biennale in the project Inventing the Truth. On Fiction and Reality, curated by Diana Marincu as part of Romania's representation. The time I've spent in residence at Iaspis up until now, allowed a great deal of reflection and consideration over what is to be done now, and of the responsibility that is, of making/creating works in such difficult tangled art world.
