- Alien Nations 2020 exhibition catalogue, cover spread featuring artwork from the exhibition
- Design by Alex Stevovich. Artwork by exhibiting artists
I designed the exhibition catalogue for Alien Nations 2020, published in conjunction with the group exhibition organized by Coral Gables Museum and Lehman College Art Gallery, on view December 1, 2020 through March 14, 2021.
The catalogue runs 80 pages and presents works by over 25 artists exploring themes of alienation. The publication was also adapted to a digital edition for online display and distribution. The exhibition was curated by Bartholomew F. Bland, Executive Director of Lehman College Art Gallery, and Yuneikys Villalonga, Chief Curator of Coral Gables Museum, and was based on an original exhibition of the same title organized by the same curators in 2017. I coordinated with Linda Locke, Editorial Director, throughout the project.
Scope of Work
- Visual identity development for the publication.
- Concept development and design direction.
- Layout design and typography across 80 pages.
- Image preparation for print and digital use.
- Digital edition adaptation for online display and distribution.
- Coordination with the printer through production.
Visual Identity
The visual identity for this catalogue was developed as part of the larger exhibition project. I was responsible for the complete design language of the exhibition — typographic system, color, graphic approach — and this extended fully into the catalogue, creating continuity across all materials produced for Alien Nations 2020.
Design Overview
The catalogue was designed to present works by over 25 artists within a coherent visual language across 80 pages, building on the established identity of the original Alien Nations exhibition while serving the expanded scope of the 2020 presentation.
