Hot off the press! We just received some copies of Object Lessons (Yale University Art Gallery, 2008 ) which Gluekit designed with the super rad Ken Meier. Ken’s featured this month in IDN magazine (v14n6 if you’re reading this a bit late).
Object Lessons includes essays by Jessica Stockholder, Tim Barringer, Karsten Harries, Jeffrey C. Alexander and Christine Mehring and grows out of an innovative gallery talk series that offered scholars from across Yale’s disciplines the opportunity to give a scholarly paper about any object from the Yale University Art Gallery’s robust collections. Their reflections are the heart of this tiny book which measures just 4.75 x 6.75 inches and comes in at 112 pages. In addition to designing the book, Gluekit also shot the cover and the interior installation photography.
The typeface used for the title typography was designed by Eric Olson of Process Type Foundry (as an aside: Gluekit will miss Olson and his wife Nicole’s adorable website love, charlie - RIP).
Gluekit adores the eye of the beholder, looking at people looking at objects, and reflections on art from all quarters and from bright shining minds especially.
