Vaughan Oliver presentation at the ICA

We’ve been working with the ICA and AIGA Boston to bring one of our design heroes, Vaughan Oliver, back to Boston next Wednesday, April 27, scheduled to coincide with ICA’s “The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl.” He will be discussing his illustrious career as the designer who created the 4AD Records brand with his work for Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Pixies, and Throwing Muses, among many others. We first had Vaughan lecture in 1989 (with Frank Black in attendance) and then again in 1996 on the heels of his “This Rimy River” exhibit in LA.

For this occasion we enlisted the help of Stoltze Design alum, Roy Burns III, to create a poster for both the ICA event and Vaughan’s RISD presentation the following day. The posters will be on sale at the event along with a limited edition of a double overprinted version to be numbered and signed by Vaughan.

The lecture will begin at 6:30pm. Tickets for the event can be purchased at ICABoston.org for $20 for nonmembers, and $18 for members/students. For more information, check out ICA’s event page.

We hope to see you there!
