FROM THERE TO HERE
Moving from a home country to another is an experience unlike any other. There are many reasons that people choose, or are forced, to undertake such an act. This exhibition will focus on the work of artists who explore all aspects of the migrant and immigrant experience.

Design Execution
The catalogs for the Galleries begin with a conversation about the theme of the show, the artists who will be shown and any materials that the Director has found for inspiration. For this project, only one book on script fonts and 19th Century documents was suggested along with the use of “old paper.” From there, we chose different, very new fonts, and juxtaposed them together to make the typography look historical and illustrated.
EMPIRE OF DIRT
Dirt is a substance so common that it is known to all regardless of location. It may be dust, soil, earth, clay, loam, grime, silt, filth or mud. It is a substance reviled by some as a marker of poor hygiene, or cherished by others who grow plants. Dirt is waste, excrement, rubbish, bacteria, it is also a humble foundation for mighty buildings. In the home or laboratory a constant battle with dirt is waged. This exhibition will expand the dialogue on dirt.

Design Execution
All of the catalogs for the Galleries begin with a conversation about the theme of the show, the artists who will be shown and any materials that the Director has found for inspiration. The only criteria given for the design of this catalog was the use of an image of dirt on the cover. We decided to juxtapose a simple, clean silver foil stamp for contrast. From here, the use of the square boundary was used throughout as a design element to pull all of the various images together.
