Explore contemporary book design for art
and architecture at a new Graham Resource Center exhibition. “What
Goes into a Book?” surveys the process of book design and the
relationships between content, agency, and design. The exhibition runs
from November 2024 to May 2025 in S. R. Crown Hall, and is free and open
to the public.
Documentary and archival material from three
celebrated book design studios—McGinty; Monograph; and Normal—illustrate
the processes, inspirations, and materials used in designing
contemporary art and architecture books.
Illinois Institute of Technology's College of Architecture will host a panel
discussion featuring the respective design studios' founders and lead
designers—Miko McGinty, Matt Avery, and Lucas Reif—on November 4 at 6
p.m. in S. R. Crown Hall. The opening event is free and open to the
public.
