Here we are in The Gridded Section, one of the many rooms of the Department of Poetics. You see, the grid is no mere instrument of spatial organisation but too instils upon typographic masonry a certain level of proficiency, professionality, credibility and authority. So it is that the grid is, in addition to a means of spatial planning, also a poetic device to manipulate the effect of visual language. Responding to this interplay of propensity for order and regularity and the simultaneous affection for spontaneity and variation is the floating constellation of the Waltzing grids, created by graphic designer Fanette Mellier.
