We went along to see Jonathan creating live visuals alongside John Foxx at his recent Roundhouse concert. We managed to take a few (slightly blurry) photos, which you can see below. You can also see a few photos of the performance on D.T.Morris’ flickr stream. A DVD of the concert will be available later this year.

After a long wait, Newspeak – the new show at the Saatchi Gallery – is about to open.

You may remember at the end of last year we created the catalogue for the exhibition when it was held the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg. Again, we were asked by the Saatchi Gallery to design the exhibition catalogue for what promises to be a sensational show. The catalogue is published through Booth-Clibborn Editions available from the Saatchi Gallery shop.

Not content with contributing to — and designing — the latest John Foxx release, Jonathan has been invited to create live visuals for Foxx’s upcoming show at the Roundhouse, London. Mr Barnbrook will be mixing animation, archive film footage and custom typography to a selection of tracks during Foxx’s show.

You can find more information on the Roundhousewebsite and John Foxx’s website.

The Festival opened on Wednesday night with an Artists’ and supporters’ party in the Turbine Hall on Cockatoo Island. Check it out here .

Describing the exhibition as beautiful, challenging and memorable, Artistic Director Elliott said: ‘The 17th Biennale of Sydney aims to present diverse cultures on the equal playing field of contemporary art, where no culture can assume superiority over any other.

Jonathan is in Australia for the opening of the Biennale of Sydney. The Biennale – which we designed the identity for (more news on that coming soon) – takes place between 12th May and 8th August 2010. Jonathan will be attending the launch night at the Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art as well as giving a talk at the Powerhouse Museum. You can book tickets for the Powerhouse Museum here.

Jonathan has just got back from an enjoyable morning at Print Club London’s Live Studio, which is taking place at the Pick Me Up graphic art fair at London’s Somerset House. Jonathan was printing a poster of his own design, which will be available for sale at the fair in limited editions of 50 for £50 each. Many thanks to Rose from Print Club London for inviting Jonathan to take part and to Dan Speight for all the help today.

Tonight Jonathan will be talking at a special edition of Glug for the Pick Me Up graphic art fair at Somerset House in London. Unfortunately the even is sold out but if you are lucky enough to have a ticket then you can look forward to a number of design luminaries talking about their 5 favourite things, which inspire and inform their work.

The popular Late at Tate Britain returns again this Friday for Late at Shards of Utopia. The evening ‒ which will feature live Art, music and interventions ‒ is being curated by Cecilia Wee, writer and co-director of interdisciplinary art project Rational Rec. Cecilia approached Barnbrook Design to create a special information leaflet for the evening. The design for the leaflet combines generative shards (created in Processing) and emblems representing the ‘states’ which the evening will be split into. You can see more at the Tate this Friday, we look forward to seeing you there!

The Pump House Gallery in Battersea Park, South London has a new show starting this month. The gallery – who’s logo we designed back in 2008 – has invited German artist Christian Jankowski to realise a major solo project: The Perfect Gallery. The artist has worked with an interior designer and a team of builders on renovating the gallery. Their work has been documented in a video that takes the form of an interior-design makeover programme, presented by Gordon Whistance.

The Pump House Gallery building was built in 1861 to house a coal-fired steam engine and pump to circulate water in the lake of Battersea Park and became a permanent gallery space in 1999 after suffering years of neglect. You can read more about the history of the gallery building here.

We are very happy to announce that Jonathan will again be speaking at Typo Berlin. This year the theme of the conference is passion. The conference takes place between 20-22 May at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (The House of World Cultures) next to the Federal Chancellor’s Office, Berlin. More information can be found on the Typo Berlin website.
