TYPOSPOT is an indie exhibition space that provides a platform for emerging and young graphic designers and typographers, focusing primarily on contemporary typography. The aim is to offer them a creative and free space for self-realization, which can be often difficult to achieve in the early stages of their careers, especially given the current societal and cultural situation in Slovakia. At the same time, we want to highlight the city-shaping potential of typography—both its positive aspects (the identity of the city and public spaces) and its negative ones (visual pollution, poor-quality typography, and aggressive forms of visual expression).

At the same time, we want to highlight the discipline of graphic design and typography itself. Typography is an integral part of our daily lives, yet it is often overlooked and undervalued by the general public. TYPOSPOT demonstrates that typography can also evoke various emotions and visual impulses. The individual installations will thematically respond to current issues and phenomena related to the lives and challenges of young people, such as activism, otherness, individualism, information overload and disinformation, extremism, and climate change. Additionally, our exhibition space is an open and safe space for queer individuals, fostering inclusivity and dialogue through typography and design.

TYPOSPOT will be a pop-up display in a public space, where we will host both individual and collective exhibitions on a six-week cycle (until the end of the year). In agreement with the Old Town administration, the exhibitions will take place in three blind windows on the side façade of the Zichy Palace, facing Prepoštská Street. This is a busy area frequented by locals, Bratislava residents, and tourists alike. Each exhibition will introduce a designer through their own installation (three posters showcasing their project). Additionally, every installation will be enriched with accompanying events, such as an opening vernissage, guided tours, DJ performances, live acts, and more. At the end of the year, a catalog featuring interviews with the exhibiting artists will be published. By placing this project directly in the public space, we increase its visibility and reach, contributing to the city's identity-building, visual emancipation—similar to what we see in other contemporary metropolises—and fostering a deeper understanding of typography and the Old Town.

TYPOSPOT is inspired by the Viennese project Typopassage and Bratislava’s Typogaráž. While the goals and presentation methods of these typo-projects vary, they are all united by one thing: a love for typography. TYPOSPOT is organized by a collective of graphic designers—Monika Juríková, Peter Pozník, and Tomáš Paulen (students and graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava)—in collaboration with the Old Town cultural centers.
