David Bowie, Iman, Tracey Emin and “unknown interloper”..

Wellington Quay, Dublin, 1997

Sez Tracey Emin

‘I met him [Bowie] when I was in a restaurant in Kensington. We exchanged phone numbers and stuff like that and we kept in touch. These photos were taken in Dublin, where we’d gone for the weekend. The little girl was an unknown interloper’

Anyone?

Is there life in Irish typographical design?

YES.

Graphic designer Aiden Grenelle (above), who works out of Image Now in Dublin, standing damn hipsterfully beside his screen print selected for the David Bowie show at the Victoria & Albert Museum..

Aiden’s design was inspired by Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust-era pantaloon suit designed by Freddie Burretti in 1972 and captured in the photo (left). He is among 100 artists chosen to produce typographic mark or logotype for the word Bowie for the exhibition.

The 500mm x 500mm print, entitled ‘The Changing Face of Bowie’ is available exclusively from the V&A.

The show opens on Saturday.
