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.
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.
