Gravity Jokes
Publication design
Short-run print publication for Gravity Jokes, a group show featuring six artists working somewhere in the space between sculpture and comedy tell jokes about gravity and/or jokes with gravity. The exhibition includes new installation, sculpture, storytelling, drawing, poetry, stand-up, and animation from Seattle-based artists: Dewa Dorje, Andy Fallat, Philippe Hyojung Kim, Mario Lemafa, E.T. Russian, and Khadija Ann Tarve.
I had the freedom to explore a non-traditional layout with the goal of capturing the humorous, experimental, and interdisciplinary personality of the show. The design plays on a visual suggestion of gravity—from the moment you unclip it, the accordion form unfolds and falls. Images of the work cascade down the long format of the print and recreate the feeling of the show. The exhibition included new installation, sculpture, storytelling, drawing, poetry, stand-up and animation from Seattle-based artists.
Abstractions of Black Citizenship: African American Art from Saint Louis is organized by Jasmine Jamilla Mahmoud, Assistant Professor in Arts Leadership at Seattle University with Molly Mac, SU Galleries Curator, and hosted by Seattle University’s Hedreen Gallery. May 18-August 2, 2020.
