- Alien Nations 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, published by Lehman College Art Gallery in conjunction with the group exhibition on view in 2017. The catalogue runs 72 pages and opens with an introductory essay followed by individual sections for each of the 18 participating artists, each presenting a short essay introducing the artist alongside images of their work in the exhibition.
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. 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 72 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.
Design Overview
The catalogue was designed to accommodate a multi-artist structure, with a repeating per-artist section format presenting introductory essay and exhibition work for each of 18 artists within a coherent visual language across 72 pages.
