Folder designs interfaces, publications, and systems for organizing, encountering, and carrying information forward. We help museums, universities, civic institutions, and others engaged in the stewardship and sharing of knowledge create ways for language, media, and material to surface and endure.
We are interested in what happens to information over time, and how form can reveal the connections that give it meaning. Projects come in a variety of configurations rooted in partnerships that honor the material and its strategic presentation.
Memory Landscapes presents a body of work developed by Robert Hutchison Architecture across decades, addressing the seawalls built along Japan’s Tohoku coast after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. These proposals, which include contributions from Hutchison’s firm along with Japanese architects, artists, and community members, consider how collective memory might inform the future of fishing communities these walls protect while at the same time separating them from the sea.
Post Human documents the 2024 revival of Jeffrey Deitch’s foundational 1992 exhibition. The original exhibition featured thirty-six artists working at the intersection of the body and technology and helped set the agenda for 1990s art discourse. The 2024 exhibition brings original participants into dial ogue with a new generation, expanding the discussion to contemporary concepts of technology and the body.
Made in L.A. 2025 is the catalog for the Hammer Museum’s seventh iteration of its signature showcase for Los Angeles contemporary art, spotlighting emerging and under-recognized local practitioners.

Sponge Park: Gowanus Canal is an in-depth case study and blueprint for modern green infrastructure. Presented by the park's co-designer, Susannah C. Drake, the project serves as the blueprint for “Sponge Cities,” shifting away from traditional concrete sewer systems toward more natural, permeable right-of-way designs. Photographs, plans, and diagrams trace the project from the canal’s industrial history through its built pilot and its broader use as a repeatable model for remediation.
Luncheons on the Grass: Reimagining Manet's Le Déjeuner Sur L'Herbe is a compact art book presented as a follow up to the exhibition Luncheon on the Grass at Jeffrey Deitch.

The book features full-page plates of the commissioned artworks and distinct typography choices for the artist interviews, historical essays, and archival imagery.

Parergon: Japanese Art of the 1980s and 1990s is the exhibition catalog for the landmark two-part exhibition curated by Mika Yoshitake at Blum & Poe. It is a definitive English-language primer and primary text for a largely undocumented period of Japanese art history, between the 1970s Mono-ha movement and the Neo-Pop era. The catalog features performance photography, installation shots, curatorial essays, socio-political analysis, textimonials, artist interviews, underground noise profiles, and music ephemera.
New Images of Man is both a tribute to and a radical revision of Peter Selz’s controversial 1959 exhibition of the same name at MoMA New York. The show pushes against the homogeneity of the original, asking what figurative art means when freed from midcentury Western gatekeeping. The catalog doubles down on the self-referential nature of the show using Dave Muller’s massive wall painting of Selz’s original 1959 book cover as its own.
