A Practice for Everyday Life (3)
- Exhibition and Publication Design for Carolee Schneemann: Body Politics
- A Practice for Everyday Life designed the exhibition and accompanying monograph for 'Carolee Schneemann: Body Politics' at the Barbican, co-published with Yale University Press. The design uses translucent fabric walls, warm gradients, and tactile typography to evoke the performative and intimate nature of Schneemann’s work, while the publication draws from 1960s–70s New York ephemera and the artist’s own experimental bookmaking.
- Exhibition and Book Design for Michael Clark: Cosmic Dancer
- A Practice for Everyday Life created the exhibition and accompanying monograph for 'Michael Clark: Cosmic Dancer' at the Barbican Art Gallery. The design combined bold neon, large-scale imagery, and dynamic typography to reflect Clark’s fusion of classical and contemporary dance. The publication extended this visual language through immersive layouts and luminous gradients that captured the energy of live performance.
