In collaboration with the MoMA design studio.
The Last Newspaper...
10 Newspapers, which comprise the New Museum catalogue for the exhibition, The Last Newspaper.
The papers were produced 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."
I worked with Chad Kloepfer producing each issue, 1 a week for 10 weeks. Printed by Linco, 11.5" x 14"
Format Worth
Regal Degal's first release, distributed by Brooklyn based RVNG Intl. The project uses recycled cassette sleeves overprinted with silver Gocco ink. The inside track listing is stamped using a customized Trodat. Edition of 90.
Reading Conventions
a micro text site for Julie Coutier to publicize The City Reader—the first project under her umbrella organization Reading Conventions. Focusing on small-scale urban spaces, the Reader includes altered observations, short essays, dimensions, visual thoughts on perceptions of the street, city mappings, facade studies, conversations, stories, data, letters, diagrams, collages, and questions.
SFMOMA mailer
the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's bi-monthly programming calendar. I was asked to graphically interpret the museum name on the back top-half of the September/October, 2009 issue. With it, I looked into a system of form and phonics that shifts away from traditional typographic relationships.
design with(in) mediation
my MFA thesis project—a proposed system for cross-referencing the mediation of typographic and lexical language within text. The documentation consists of five video screen-captures in which I introduce and demonstrate the system.
the secret of the ninth planet
2009's Thesis Exhibition Catalogue from the California College of the Arts Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice. Becoming visible in the absence of light, the catalogue-as-object acts as an active vehicle for the exhibition (which was originally described as a "meditation on latency"). 91 pages. 30% PCW.
sightlines
the Thesis Publication from the California College of the Arts Graduate Visual and Critical Studies Department. The theses opening spreads, on the cover and in the body of the book, support each thesis as a singular entity produced within a shared program.158 pages. 30% PCW.
golden guns
an annual journal, edited by Kate Phillmore and Courtenay Finn. Each issue investigates a single theme across disciplines. This first issue's theme is "investigation" itself. 52 pages. 100% PCW.
poli-sci and play-doh
diagrams ten critical terms related to late-capitalism. Readers match term-quotation cards with diagrams. The correctness of each match is open to interpretation. Depending on one's perspective, a single card may match all or none of the diagrams. The selection process suggests the relative nature of the concepts involved as well as the potential cross-relations among them. 10 spreads / 10 cards. 3D printed resin cover.
playspace lettering
the redesign of PLAySPACE's window signage, which was later applied to collateral material. PLAySPACE Gallery (Paulette Long and Shepard Pollack Art Community Experiment) is the Graduate Student run art space at The California College of the Arts.
playspace auction posters
three 13" x 19" posters for PLAySPACE Gallery's art auction. The imagery references art-historically significant objects. Each is an object (or body) available outside of the art market that has — after
artistic appropriation — continually gained cultural currency at auction.
admin
Luke Turner's administrative office in the California College of the Arts. It is an art space he curates dedicated to re-interpreting office space and bureaucratic information systems. This web-site is for Luke to archive admin projects and post information. The background image presents Luke's office, which you can mess with by adjusting browser-size.
expand MCAD
an interactive map
of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design's four-story main
building. The goal of the project was to provide students, teachers, and visitors an alternative
interface for navigating the school's physical and online environments.
