If you weren’t lucky enough to see the Design Museum exhibition of the late great Alan Fletcher a couple of years ago, you are in luck. The Cube gallery in Manchester is holding a ‘major retrospective’ of 50 years of his work. The show was opened last week by a fashionably late Peter Saville, who worked with him briefly at Pentagram, and there’s a curatorial talk by Emily King at the University of Salford on March 5th.
If you’re a student get yourself (and your class) there, especially to the talk. If you aren’t, the exhibition is open on a Saturday, so get a weekend trip to Manchester planned in.
