The accompanying catalog for the exhibition Alles Sehen / See All at Aargauer Kunsthaus is set in Syncro Mono and Syncro Mono Italic throughout.

Johannes Robert Schürch (1895–1941), a leading representative of early modernism in Switzerland, left behind an impressive oeuvre of over 7,000 works.

His art is characterized by a touching confrontation with the vulnerability of human existence. The publication focuses on the zenith of his work – the drawings of the 1920s and early 1930s – and presents excerpts from previously unpublished sketchbooks.

The hardback publication has 208 pages with 181 color illustrations and measures 20×32 cm. It was published by Scheidegger & Spiess. ISBN 978-3-03942-218-0

Whispers of the Unheard is Ishita Chakraborty’s first monograph. The work of the artist, who is based in Switzerland, is rooted in postcolonial discourse and deals intensively with topics such as ecology, migration, and sociocultural inequality. The 112-page publication comprehensively documents and illuminates her artistic practice, providing insights into her work over the past few years.

The publication was designed by Megi Zumstein, who selected the Juneau​​​​ font family by Phillip Neumeyer for the typography. This typeface combines geometric construction with grotesque characteristics, uses circular forms, and references old metal grotesques. Since the typography remains subordinate to the photographically documented works, it is primarily used in smaller text sizes. Juneau’s economical proportions and open stroke endings support readability at these smaller scales. For headings, increased letter-spacing makes them distinguishable without requiring significantly larger font sizes. The typographic approach aligns with the publication's overall production and maintains a balance with the artistic content.

It was published by Anouchka Panchard and Aargauer Kunsthaus through Edition Clandestin.

When we think of masks, we think of carnival, African tribal rites or death masks, theatre and fashion, but also role-playing, wrapping and protection. Masks are among the oldest and most controversial objects in human cultural history. Contemporary artists are not only interested in the mask as an object, but also in its social, cultural and political significance and this book traces the mask in contemporary art.

Atelier Pol designed the exhibition catalogue in close collaboration with the Aargauer Kunsthaus. With rich visual material and short texts on the exhibited works, the volume shows the artists' respective approaches to the broad thematic field of the mask. Two introductory essays additionally shed light on the topicality of the mask and its prehistory in art.

Headlines use Founders Grotesk, all other text is set in Inter and Messina Serif.
