On the Edges of Graphic Design from A—Z —∞
A Book by A–Z Presents
On the Edges of Graphic Design from A—Z —∞ celebrates the past, present, and future of alternative Graphic Design by the hands and minds of a multidisciplinary and international Design community, their practices, reflections, and community-building experiences at A—Z Presents, the space for experimental graphic design based in Berlin.
The book offers a comprehensive view of A—Z activities performed by a multitude of graphic designers and visual artists from diverse backgrounds, ages, and career standings in the past six years. It also covers the continuity of the space, extended by how a group of international designers envision the future of the discipline of Graphic Design.
The first part, A—Z, features all activities and events initiated by A—Z. In alphabetical cross-referenced entries—ranging from designers and artist exhibitions to a myriad of related topics, from “Asemic Writing” to “Yellow Bench,” and over a hundred entries in between—it offers a vivid overview of their wide-ranging projects. We’re delighted that Slanted Publishers has also been part of these exhibitions in the past, contributing with various themes.
The second part, titled —∞, presents contributions by 36 international designers who were specially invited to envision the future of Graphic Design within a transdisciplinary space like A—Z. The works explore themes ranging from the body in digital space and AI to interspecies relationships and language. We’re proud that our co-founder Julia Kahl was among these selected artists, contributing her own graphic perspective to this unique section.
The richly illustrated publication is designed and conceptualized by A—Z founder and curator Anja Lutz, who sees the book as a “meta-level for the continuous exploration of alternative thinking and practicing graphic design.” The book features an introduction by designer Jason Grant and a conversation between publisher Freek Lomme and Anja Lutz.
What can be defined as an Index for alternative Graphic Design, On the Edges of Graphic Design from A—Z—∞ presents a comprehensive overview of contemporary practices as well as the international community’s vision for the future of the discipline.
