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.
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. Conceived as a reader rather than a direct documentation of the exhibition, conversations with the artists and supporting artwork are gathered in a compact paperback, with its construction and materials gesturing toward the streets of Los Angeles.
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 gallery invited 35 contemporary artists to respond to Édouard Manet’s provocative 1863 masterpiece. The book features full-page plates of the commissioned artworks and distinct typography choices for the artist interviews, historical essays, and archival imagery.
BeHere / 1942 is the companion book to media artist Masaki Fujihata’s project and exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum reframing the historic forced incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II through photographic detective work and re-examination through augmented reality. This volume contains a variety of contributions each of which engages with the history of the incarceration and its representation in photographs and exhibitions.
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.
