Geoff McFetridge will be showing some of his drawings and graphic design along side the work of Ed Fella at Redcat (631 West 2nd Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 USA) in a show titled Two Lines Align. The opening reception is Wednesday February 20, 2008 from 6-9 PM.
Two Lines Align is an exhibition about the evolution of graphic design in the context of massive changes in our visual culture. As guest curator Michael Worthington notes in the catalogue essay, the exhibition explores “the shifts in the perceived cultural worth [of art and graphic design] over time…by placing Ed Fella’s and Geoff McFetridge’s design careers end to end to make one chronological line, one lineage. While Fella’s career reflects how graphic design has historically struggled to define itself in relationship to art, McFetridge follows a path wherein the integration of art and design is taken for granted.”
