CURATORIAL CATALOGUE PROPOSAL
In collaboration with Sunjung Park & Aaron Ritschard. Project realized in November 2017, during the Art Direction Class at FHNW HGK with the Teacher Marion Fink.


CH / 2017
Printed S16x11cm, printed 6 copies with thread binding
and silver silkprinted cover

The curator of the Museum of Cultures in Basel proposed to experiment on a fictionary catalog for the temporary exhibition “STROH GOLD”. We decided to play with found image materials mixed together with the exhibition's images. We took inspiration from Aby Warburg tables of images to create a new scenario of the exhibition: an expanded collection of up-cycled objects.

Aaron Ritschard, artist and designer from Basel created a series of illustration to narrate particular stories related to objects and cultures which are combined with text is written in the Larish Neue font by Radinpesko.
