TICKETS PLEASE BY BLAISE HAYWARD
Tickets Please , New York 2023
An avid music fan and admirer of typography and graphic design, Hayward began making Tickets Please in March 2023 after walking by a concert hall and noticing people simply displaying a QR code on their phones to enter the show. Serendipitously, he had also just reconnected with a friend who collects concert ticket stubs. The series presents a combination of those stubs and vintage tickets he has since sourced and purchased himself.
For Hayward, the tickets represent a vanishing analog art form and a nostalgia for an iconic era of rock-n-roll. "I look at these tickets as mini works of art: the font selections, the layout, the color, the copy. All done with careful consideration to detail." the color, the copy. Each stub is a fragment of history-their haphazard tears and distinctive creases emblematic of what is considered the golden age of music.
These works are printed on Canson rag photographique paper. The project is ongoing.
