So yes, obviously 'art' isn't a four-letter word as such… but the thing is, for the vast majority of people who sense an art world that is above, beyond and generally looking down on them, it kind of is. Somewhere between a manifesto for a more open, inclusive art, an abstract typographic jazz, and a 'finishing school' for people who've been taught schoolbook English but none of the good stuff, Art is Not… is, let's be honest, an unselfconscious romp through the joys of profanity. All that, and its also a homage to that great marseillais typographer, designer and popular artist Roger Excoffon and his magnificent font Banco.
