The Exhibitionist is a new journal on Exhibition Making that we just finished designing. This publication was initiated by curator Jens Hoffmann and is an amazing resource for exhibition makers everywhere!

Jon Sueda Profile
by Amber Bravo
“On demand, full-color printing” is now available at CopyEdge Digital Printing Center, the small copy shop located a floor below Jon Sueda’s San Francisco studio. One can imagine that the plethora of bogus brochures and pedestrian printed matter churned out by the shop on a daily basis would serve as an apt foil for the work produced just one flight up, but for Sueda it can also be inspirational. For the CCA Wattis Institute catalogue Amateurs, he in fact borrows heavily from this aesthetic. The cover titling—printed thermographically in an inelegant purple brush script—cheap coloured paper and rounded corners all suggest something of a design dilettante, but are composed with such a knowing, stylistic hand that nobody would question the catalogue’s inclusion at the SFMoMA bookstore, just a few blocks down the road.
Rumors (Holly Gressley, Renda Morton, and Andy Pressman) made a stop in San Francisco to give a talk at CCA.
Alex DeArmond gave us a tour of the Werkplaats Typografie followed by a BBQ in the rain to kick-off the launch of Task Newsletter #2!
My buddy Harmen Liemburg took me on a tour of Amsterdam from a kayak.
June 14-28, 2009
I organized a 2 week long program where I took 15 CCA (California College of the Arts) students to the Netherlands to participate in workshops with Wout de Vringer (in the Hague) and Catalogtree (in Amsterdam). This was followed by a 2 week workshop back in San Francisco where we created a publication which documented the trip.
Participants: Ann Benoit, Jennifer Henessy, Mary Hu, Austina Kang, Ryan Kreuscher, Jamie Lee, Oona Lyons, Heidi Reifenstein, Nikolaos Skourtis, Parul Sharma, Mathieu Stemmelen, Alexandra Styc, David Valentine, Rosanna Yau, and Katelyn Vandenberghe
