‘Suggestions’ Poster (detail), David Bennewith. ‘Suggestions’ is an A0 size silkscreen poster produced by David Bennewith as part of his ongoing research on New Zealand type designer Joseph Churchward. The poster illustrates two inter-connected aspects of Churchward’s work: ‘suggestions’ and variations. It is accompanied by a short compiled text reproduced as a sticker:
Suggestions, Joseph Churchward
How do you know when something is finished? Do you like to propose a lot of different variations?
They are all suggestions; they have to pick one.
[...]
These works are not commissioned works are they?
Many of my works are suggestions. I call them suggestions. I send it to them and never hear from them again...
[...]
This was a suggestion [for TV2].
How long would something like this take?
Ages. But when you believe in something you don't care how long it
takes. When I was a bit younger I was fast too. Look at these colours —
jumping up!
Did you get any feedback about these?
I don’t think I sent them in. But they would look beautiful on TV.
Are these from a while ago?
Yes, I think when I came back from Samoa [1995].
The poster was officially launched at the Research on Research
lecture and discussion series, 7.12.2007 @ Jan van Eyck Academie,
Maastricht, NL. www.colophon.info
