This first major retrospective of Lily Greenham (1924–2001), marks the centenary of her birth. The exhibition collects her prolific output and pioneering works including sound poetry and lingual music, op, kinetic, and computer art. The typeface is a contemporary synthesis of IBM’s Selectric Elite 72, with a complementary italic. This marks a direct connection with the majority of Greenham’s typewritten compositions, essays, and scores. Commissioned by the archive’s and exhibition’s curator Andrew Walsh-Lister. The retrospective opens in 2024 at Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Published by The MIT Press, 2023. 564 pages, 9 x 11.75". In sprawling scholarship across more than twenty critical contributions, the anthology traces the the emergence of a new genre in the 19th century: world histories of architecture. In lieu of extracted illustrations, primary source material is presented as a complete artifact highlighting each object’s materiality, printing, wear, and in some cases marginalia. The project required close coordination with the Canadian Centre for Architecture to art direct photography of first editions in their archive. Commissioned by Tom Weaver, edited by Petra Brouwer, Martin Bressani and Christopher Drew Armstrong, and designed with Julia Novitch.

A substantial monograph on the life and work of Los Angeles architect Gregory Ain (1908–1988) presents five significant residential projects together for the first time. Ain’s work presented a new model of neighborhood design conceived to celebrate the everyday life of its working-class residents. A folio of photographs by Julius Shulman, three illustrated essays, and several artifacts all contextualize this work. The book’s materials are organized into three discrete but connected portraits; an archival, scholarly, and contemporary description of this relatively unknown architect. Edited by Anthony Fontenot.

Developed at 2×4 with Susan Sellers, Donnie Luu, Marcus Hollands, and Sophie Brotman.

Writing Architecture is a popular and critically acclaimed series that has been in circulation for over two decades. Published two to three times yearly, it accommodates wide-ranging subjects and authorship from architectural writers, practitioners, and designers. To reflect this scholarship in the freshly standardized design, elegant and classical notions of layout and typography are packaged in the form of a modest, mass-produced paperback. Slivers of images from the previous volume’s cover appear on the next to generate a visual continuum, while unique printing inks distinguish each new contribution. Writing Architecture Series is a project of the Anyone Corporation, and edited by Cynthia Davidson. Formulations is the first of the series redesign, written by Andrew Witt.

Both a systematic critical reading and a monograph of the artist, the book presents Thomas Struth’s photography as three distinct stages of production: archive, matrix, and assembly. As the author chronicles these evolutions in Struth’s work over forty years, each section’s layout evolves correspondingly. The photographs are arranged according to collected subjects, and captions derived from a comprehensive index are printed in silver metallic ink. Written by Nana Last, and designed with Neil Donnelly.

The exhibition catalogue focuses on an obscure and crucial episode of Peggy Guggenheim’s collecting as she turned towards arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Thirty-five artworks are presented together for the first time, accompanied by essays offering a critical stance on the violence of theft and misappropriation of such works, especially in the context of Guggenheim's European art collection. Edited by curator Vivien Greene, and designed with Neil Donnelly.
