Process Work: Intersections of Photography and Print ca. 1825 to Today

Sarah Mirseyedi, curator of the exhibition, used the title of the publication Process Work as the title for the show. One issue of the magazine had Arts & Crafts-style lettering which was digitized for the exhibition's decorative word mark.

The curator also wanted to provide a brief overview of the wide variety of photographic printing processes that are covered in the exhibition. Each of the artworks listed here correspond with a printing process, a year, and feature a thumbnail image of the representative artwork featured in the show.

The exhibition is divided into numberous sections. Each section has a dedicated wall chat which describes a "zoomed out" view or the historical context, as well as a "zoomed in" view which describes materials and/or printmaking techniques. Each panel has detail views of prints and photographs to accompany the "zoomed in" view.

I also designed object labels that were mounted to the wall as well as affixed to cases. I chose a contemporary, geometric serif typeface that has historical roots. For the body text, I chose a sans serif that is timeless and was commonly used in advisements, newspapers, etc. (relevant mediums in the history of photographic and typographic printing).
