The Atlas of Textscapes offers an overview of text drawings from a forty-year period by Tanja Smit, created directly on magazine articles and newspaper pages. The result is a collection of surprising patterns and a broad investigation into layout, words, language, and content. A critical investigation that is simultaneously an ode to language, slowness and the rapidly disappearing printed matter from our society.

This publication will be launched at West in The Hague on the first of June. With a presentation by publisher Eleonoor Jap Sam and artist Tanja Smit, and a textscapeconcert by Anne Wellmer. Followed by drinks and book sale with booksigning.
