Poster-booklet for En las Fiestas del Futuro (“At the Parties of the Future”), an exhibition by Paco Graco collective about recovered shop signs at La Casa Encendida art center in Madrid, Spain.
Designed by Ricardo Barquín featuring fonts by Madrilenian Typographic Manufactures, Riccardo de Francheschi, and Alexander Colby, with texts by Miriam Martín.
The exhibition reflects on the vanished city and memories through the commercial signs rescued by the collective in the neighbourhood where the art centre is located.
As the booklet reads:
in the face of Madrid's destruction: in the fire of what was, burns what will be
The inauguration took the form of a popular party with music, wine and the owners of the closed shops coming to see their signs saved from the dump at the last minute.
