TAKE IT APART is a publication that I designed for the Image Text Ithaca MFA Program at Ithaca College in 2020 (now the Master of Fine Arts in Image Text at Cornell University), with work by Andre Bradley, Hugo Gallo, Shantal Jeewon Kim, Laura Pierson, Amy Schuessler, and Kelsey Sucena. Jo-ey Tang and I worked with the group to curate their individual thesis projects and translate them to a print-based, de-centered mode of exhibition. The newsprint edition of 300 was mailed to recipients with instructions to activate the publication as a DIY installation in physical space. Students conceived of potential protocols for their individual sheets, which slide out of the folded, unbound publication. The publication was distributed in November 2020, and officially launched at Printed Matter’s Virtual Art Book Fair with an online performance and readings in February 2021.
