Artist Statement:

Architecture outlines an urban realm that is rife with default flows and physical policies. In Edge, A Super–Architectural Typeface, Dawid Górny and Jacopo Atzori transmit the motion of skateboarding into a dynamic typeface that is realized through performance. Bringing skateboarding into relationship with typography in the context of the built environment allows the alphabet to become a functional structure, inviting a performative critique of architecture.
