This is class is a workshop. Most of the work will be done in class and at home. This class involves several discussions between the students and the instructor.
In this workshop, you will explore the conceptualization of a small publication composed of found images and will ponder on how to plan its production. Through exposés, exercises and lectures, you will survey the current state of art book design and study how these objects are produced and disseminated into the world. A short project of publication of ‘found images’ will help you strengthening AN IDEA over the curation of a serialized set of imagery.
