Text Art

A friend of mine is thinking about putting a text on his wall in his new apartment. I have recently seen a really amazing text + drawing installation but I can't find it now. Instead I found a bunch of other inspiring text art. If you can help me find the one that I was looking for, I would love that. Fiona Banner's work is the closest to it, but it's not her. It was an installation in a gallery, the text overlapping with itself, sort of crowding into the corner, with illustrations breaking out of it. I saw it on the internet. It was red.

    Hi Tracy, thank you for this!!! I have seen similar examples of text art in various art galleries, but nothing I could really use. I was actually thinking more of music scores I typically encounter in the new music scene, like graphic notation, experimental notation, and so on. Unfortunately, I live in the dark ages and don't really know how to do hyperlinks or load pictures from one place to another, so I'm just listing the links to some examples of scores both new and ancient which inspire me...
