MPS Branding Co-founder and Chair Debbie Millman's storied career in design and branding encompasses work as a writer, educator, artist, curator, strategist, award-winning podcaster and go-to authority and influencer. With a nod to the title of her 2009 book, Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on the Intersection of Life and Design, her latest project showcases the many ways in which words, text and information influence art, design, literature and music.

School of Visual Arts is proud to present "Look Both Ways: The Illicit Liaison Between Image and Information," an exhibition curated by Millman that brings together a wide range of typographic work by 60 artists—including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Shepard Fairey, Dave Eggers, Deborah Kass, Jenny Holzer, Miranda July, Kim Gordon, and more—with many of the pieces coming from Millman's own personal collection. "Look Both Ways" is free and open to the public, and will be on view starting Saturday, August 24, at the SVA Chelsea Gallery.
