40-B Key to Topeka State Hospital
On loan from Bob Heintzelman
Lock and Key
Topeka State Hospital was an involuntary treatment facility. A small number of the patients were there by choice, but the majority had been committed by a court of law. The institution sat on a large tract of land and consisted of numerous buildings housing many different wards. The wards were all locked, so there were dozens and dozens of locked doors. In the older section, the doors had old fashioned dead bolt locks with see-through keyholes that locked and unlocked from both sides. They operated with the turn of a large master key labeled 40-B.
A person entering the ward would unlock the door, enter and be deluged by greetings, questions, requests, complaints and other clamor. It was easy to become so distracted that one could fail to turn and relock the door. If the person pulled the door shut but failed to relock it, the news of an unlocked door would spread quickly among the patients.
Some patients deeply resented and rebelled against being there. They watched for any opportunity to slip out to apparent, often short-lived, freedom. Others resented being there but would not try to leave; they seemed indifferent to an unlocked door. Many of the patients, for whatever reason, would soon report that the door was not locked and sometimes even admonish the person who committed the security violation.
Ball and chain
Gift of the Menninger Foundation, from Topeka State Hospital
In the days before sedatives, patients who were aggressive or difficult to control were chained, sometimes in the tunnels under the Topeka State Hospital buildings.

Soap Story, 1999
Fabric, silkscreen, lithograph, soap
Edition of 200; Bologna, Italy TSCPL Permanent Collection
This artist’s book tells the story of a young woman in Calabria, Italy during the 1950s, whose real life reads like a fairy tale, or soap opera, in six installments. In order to give lasting form to this oral history, the reader must release the text, silkscreened on linen pages, from six tiny bars of soap. After hanging to dry, ironing optional, the rags slot into six pages with oval die-cuts, through which the text remains visible. The pages are bound with a linen rag into a handmade, cloth-covered album. The book is housed in a matching cloth-covered box, lined with rags and sealed with a color-lithographed soap label.
The process confronting the reader reflects that which the protagonist must face, ultimately transforming her. You must merely transform the story, allowing the young woman to wash her hands of her sorrows.
The box is wrapped up in a reproduction of a page from a woman’s magazine, October 1956, titled “Mani di Fata” or “Hands of the Fairy.” This page, wrapping six pieces of soap, was an iron-on design for embroidery inserted as a gift in the same issue. The magazine itself was found on the floor of an abandoned villa in Calabria, not far from the town in the story. Wrapping up packets in recycled newspaper and twine is still the way fresh eggs or handmade soap travel from household to household. At the time of this story, the women used stones for washing the linen, silk and burlap they cultivated and wove for their own use.

Although this is a contemporary print, the streamlined view of the front of this ship, the symmetry of the image, and perspective which yields to the enormity and power of the vessel, it was selected to accompany the objects in this exhibit because it embodies Art Deco characteristics: understated and restrained elegance; sharply angular and geometric lines; futuristic concepts; suggestion of speed and movement.

Frank Peers was a Topeka printer who designed book plates, Christmas cards and various art prints.
In these prints it is easy to see the characteristic of the Art Deco style: sharply angular and geometric lines, often devoid of any decoration, suggestion of speed and movement, and an understated and restrained elegance.
Peers had stripped his female images down to simple lines and geometric shapes. There is a simple yet understated elegance to these forms.
In his cityscapes, Peers highlights a true Art Deco invention, the skyscraper. His angular lines and geometric forms combine to create a modern cityscape with a wonderful sense of movement.

The dolls are anatomically correct, and were used by therapists to work with children. The ways that children played could help therapists understand their experiences, especially abuse, and their fears or concerns.

In October 2010 the MoA (Museum of Art Seoul National University) in Korea acquired FF Scala for its permanent collection, the ‘Design and Crafts’ collection. It was the first time the museum made an aquisition of a typeface.
The exhibition ‘MoA Invites 2011’ took place from 19 January 2011 untill 2 February 2011, showing all new aquisitions of last year, including FF Scala. One of the nice things is that the museum actually uses FF Scala in its printed matter: the english text in the catalogue is set in it.
