Introductory video design for the pre-exhibition phase of Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream.

Foreclosed was “a collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and Columbia University’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture [...] that examined new architectural possibilities for American cities and suburbs in the context of the recent foreclosure crisis.” 

Development included identity design, illustration, and narrative storyboarding.

The video also incorporates many of MTWTF’s pre-existing assets created for the Buell Center.

Narrated by Barry Bergdoll. Motion graphics by Rob Chapman.

10 Newspapers comprising the New Museum catalog for the exhibition, The Last Newspaper...

The papers were directed and edited by the Barcelona-based curatorial team Latitudes for ten consecutive weeks from a micro-newsroom in the New Museum.

From the New Museum website: “...If the artwork assembled in the galleries is dedicated to deconstructing the power and possibilities of the press, then the invited participants are engaged in finding new (and perhaps more holistic) ways of describing the world.”

Worked alongside Chad Kloepfer designing each issue—1 a week for 10 weeks. Printed by Linco, 11.5" x 14."
