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.
Japan Story is an academic research platform and course at Harvard GSD originating from a series of intense, high-profile symposiums and interdisciplinary panel discussions centered around urbanization and the future of the city. The project follows distinct threads of pedagogy, conversations, drawings, translated texts, literature, visual culture, critical essays, and music.
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.
