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.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art houses the largest museum collection in the western United States. The new online platform comprises of a cleanly rebuilt data endpoint paired with a restrained interface design that gives nuanced object records common structure while preserving distinctions in attribution, dating, and depth of scholarship.
Expanded from our previous work on Carnegie Museum of Art’s online catalogue, the collections website opens us closer study of the collection by connecting individual works with group records, exhibition histories, and associated texts. The collection’s development is more readily traced through museum programs including it’s growth through the Carnegie International, North America's longest-running recurring exhibition of international contemporary art.
