Hello Kilroy
Kilroy Was Here / Hello Kitty
Before we get to the actual piece that we designed for this project, we first want to explain something about our main inspiration. Shown above is a poster that we didn't design, but that is a part of our poster collection. It's a screenprint we bought a few years ago through E-Bay, depicting a typical 'Kilroy'. Drawn in 1971 by Jerry Berman, issued by the 'Kilroy Was Here Manufacturing Co.', and distributed by a company called 'Synergisms' (all based in San Francisco), the poster begs the question: how hi...

In short, the logo system we designed for Stedelijk Museu...

Space 1026
Life of the Mind
The second edition of The Free Library took place in June 2005 at Space 1026, an exhibition space in Philadelphia. But before we get to that, we'll first explain something about the first edition of The Free Library:
In 2004, we were asked by curator Mark Owens (formerly of O.R.G., now of Life of the Mind) to participate in a group show that took place between April 29 and May 20, 2004, at The Riviera, an exhibition space in Brooklyn, NY. The name of this exhibition was The Free Library, and the show feature...
