- Castles in the Sky: Fantasy Architecture in Contemporary Art exhibition catalogue, cover spread featuring artwork by exhibiting artists
- Design by Alex Stevovich. Artwork by exhibiting artists
I designed the exhibition catalogue for Castles in the Sky: Fantasy Architecture in Contemporary Art, published by Lehman College Art Gallery in conjunction with the group exhibition on view October 13, 2018 through January 26, 2019.
The catalogue runs 114 pages and presents works by over 30 artists exploring fantasy architecture in contemporary practice. 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. I coordinated with Linda Locke, Publication Director, throughout the project.
Scope of Work
- Visual identity development for the publication.
- Concept development and design direction.
- Layout design and typography across 114 pages.
- Custom inside cover graphic design.
- 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 Castles in the Sky: Fantasy Architecture in Contemporary Art.
Design Overview
The catalogue was designed to accommodate a multi-artist group exhibition structure, presenting works by over 30 artists within a coherent visual language across 114 pages. The publication includes fold-out spreads extending the page format to present select works at full horizontal scale, and features a custom inside cover graphic — a seamless, tileable design of layered castles and clouds inspired by works from the exhibition.
