Dear friends ... TypeSHED11 = name of the venue: Shed 11. For those of you who are
keen to
see another (and we love your enthusiasm and suggestions), there will be no ‘TypeSHED12’ – one reason being there is no Shed 12 available! It was always intended as a one-off event, and therefore special. One of our
ambitions was to activate and encourage other organisations into
providing such events for New Zealand designers, on an international
scale. As
a result, New Zealand is now truly on the radar – both here and
internationally – as it turns out. Even though it is over, we continue
to chase the ripple effect of the aftershock in an attempt to report on
the myriad outcomes to our subscribers. TypeSHED11 is now a valuable
online resource there for the taking. Incidentally, TypeSHED11 has been voted Best Design Event of the Year by Urbis Magazine. We are delighted. Thank you all for your support
and encouragement. / Best regards, Catherine Griffiths, for TypeSHED11.

TypeSHED11 has happened. It is over. Set to explore the notions and voices of typography – no matter how small or vocal, how grand or local – across the disciplines, of graphic design and advertising, photography, film, literature, architecture, music, the visual arts – we are now beaming back out to the rest of the world via Typeradio.
Our international guests, who included Stephen Banham, Donald Beekman, Walter Bohatsch, Paul Elliman, Experimental Jetset, Masayoshi Kodaira, Indra Kupferschmid, Christian Schwartz and Leonardo Sonnoli, were here, in Wellington, for five days – three of presentations and two of workshops* – all under the one roof at Shed 11 and Site 7 – encircled by satellite events, forums and panels for discussion and debate, evening projections and entertainment. Opening evening drinks (Seresin wines and finger food by Jenny Neligan); a second evening of Tuatara beer, bread and cheese to launch Bennewith’s book ‘Joseph Churchward’ and ‘The National Grid’ #5; refreshments each day (organic apples, Whittakers chocolate, and Antipodes water); and the final night with impromptu guest My Little Soundsystem (NL) who performed following the successful auction of Sonnoli’s ‘Le cadavre exquis’, offered the prospect to learn, mix and meet at New Zealand’s first ever, never-to-be-repeated TypeSHED11.
A full programme constructed from lectures, interspersed with interviews, short films and title sequences, workshops, exhibitions and installations created the very real possibility for social and intellectual exchange with passionate typographers and designers from about the world – Europe, the Americas, Asia, Pacific, Australia and New Zealand.
