Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed many great photos of ephemera reminiscent of childhood education being posted to UPPERCASE’s flickr pages. (below is just a small sampling)

Their “Old School” theme is in preparation for what sounds to be a fun exhibition coming this fall.

“The "Old School" theme will celebrate the aesthetics of twentieth century education through an art exhibition and companion book, as well as curated objects. It is inspired by vintage flash cards, old desks, biology class, science fairs, crayons, card catalogs, textbooks, class photos, teachers, yearbooks, lunchboxes, gym class, maps, lockers, report cards, film strips, recess, spelling, chalk... and the list goes on!...”

The exhibition which will also be documented in a book available in the fall, includes a grand list of participants including Linzie Hunter, Frank Chimero, Mark Gervais, Julia Rothman, and numerous others.

update: Linzie Hunter has just posted the above poster which is part of Uppercase’s show. She also has “Old School” flickr, including some nice Letraset finds.
