Exhibition + Curatorial Projects

Yesterday+Today+Tomorrow

In an age when content moves faster than we can absorb, the printed word provides a space for reflection, materiality, and deliberate engagement. Renewed interest in book design among young designers speaks to a longing for depth and a tangible connection to the printed word—an urge to slow down, to read, and to engage directly with language and context.

Yesterday + Today + Tomorrow traces the interconnectedness of book design at CalArts across generations, through faculty and alumni work alongside publications that inspired and influenced their practice. Together, this collection of objects functions as a set of visual citations, revealing both lineage and divergence in an evolving conversation about how ideas travel and transform through design.

Designing Escapism: Disco, Pleasure, and Power in Francoist Spain

Designing Escapism is an exhibition currently in development. It examines the discotheques of Francoist Spain as sites of profound contradiction. Commissioned by an authoritarian regime to generate tourist revenue, they became laboratories of sensory liberation, bodily freedom, and political transgression. Through architecture, furniture, lighting, graphic design, and fashion, the exhibition asks how designed space can serve both an instrument of control and an engine of emancipation.
