We love a typographic artwork here at CR, so we feel duty bound to tell you about the curiously titled Said Why Eggs? exhibition that opens in London later this week, curated by East End Arts Club

The show – which previews tonight at Swanfield Inn, just off Brick Lane in East London – features works by 26 artists, printers and graphic designers – who all take inspiration from the building blocks of the written word: the letters of the alphabet.
