Inventory Press launch for Seeing ↔ Making: Room for Thought. RSVP here.
Triple Canopy, 264 Canal St #3W, New York, NY 10013.
On Friday evening, Triple Canopy will host Inventory Press’s launch for Seeing ↔ Making: Room for Thought (2024) at TC HQ. The book’s coauthors—scholar and theorist Susan Buck-Morss, designer Kevin McCaughey of Boot Boyz Biz, designer and publisher Adam Michaels of IN-FO.CO/Inventory Press—will discuss the intergenerational collaboration that brought the book into being.
Seeing ↔ Making: Room for Thought illuminates the space between word and image, politics and aesthetics, seeing and making. Anchored by a series of essays by Buck-Morss on visual culture, Seeing ↔ Making: Room for Thought engages with thinkers like John Berger and Walter Benjamin to consider (and playfully upend) the conventions of graphic design. The book demonstrates how ideas structure images (and vice versa), how design can function as critique, and how the language of our image-based information age can be effectively translated into print.
A reception will follow the conversation. Copies of the book, as well as limited-edition Boot Boyz Biz and Inventory Press merch, will be available for sale.
there / is / only / now and neighbor histories library
Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA), 225 W 13th St, New York, NY 10011
A bookstore activation by artist Kimi Hanauer, there / is / only / now will operate as a space for collective study, reflection, and conversation on the intimacy of insurgent registers. In collaboration with artist and publisher, Katie Giritlian, this intervention will live alongside neighbor histories, a reading library that holds space for a slow and sustained collaborative writing of histories that may share lifeways but are at risk of imperial differentiation and appropriation, or, conversely, simplistic convergence.
On view until May 1.
