MAMCO Genève (journal)

MAMCO provides a narrative, extended over a fairly short period (from the 1960s to now), so as to give back an historical syntax to the works it presents. For each sequence, there is a corresponding issue or theoretical question which the museum, as a laboratory for the collective writing of history, aims to explore and then reveal to the public the current state of its research. Published twice a year, MAMCO Journal aims at presenting the topics we have selected through the year, the concepts that were elaborated during the preparation of the exhibitions, and the results that have (or have not) been presented to the public.

Illuminazioni – Biennale di Venezia

Established in 1895, the Venice Biennale is the world’s oldest and most prestigious biennale of international contemporary art. In 2011, the studio created the visual identity of its 54th venue “llluminations” and art directed the Biennale’s numerous catalogues and collaterals. Based on a linear and geometric lettering, the identity offered a “responsive” toolbox for the Biennale in-house design team to use through the multiple medias and formats.
