Marzia Migliora – Seven Imaginative Exhibitions is Marzia Migliora’s first monograph, bringing together 115 artworks selected from a body of work spanning more than thirty years, from 1993 to the present. Conceived as a concept book in which the body of works is reinterpreted through seven recurring themes in Marzia Migliora’s practice, the book consists of seven exhibitions on paper, each curated by different curators who envisioned them in emblematic locations within the artist’s biography, thereby configuring a personal emotional geography that spans Italy—from her birthplace of Alessandria to the salt mines of Sicily. The exhibitions are informed by themes such as rurality, the museum as a place of classification, devices for viewing and perceiving reality, community-building, extractivism, patriarchal oppression, and interspecies metamorphoses related to the passage between life and death.

Wrapping up this journey in seven exhibitions are the opening and closing notebooks that have always accompanied Migliora’s practice, preserving the traces of ideas and research that have inspired existing works and that compose a conceptual and methodological resource to draw upon for future projects.

The seven exhibitions flow through the book on a continuous level, with a consistent layout, even in its variants. Technical information and a brief description of the work, necessary for understanding it, are included in the band at the bottom of the page. In addition to the works, each exhibition brings together reprinted texts, each with a custom-made layout, arranged in a grid reminiscent of a catalogue card, part of an archive.

The curatorial text for each of the seven exhibitions is printed on grey Fedrigoni Woodstock paper, a reference to the paper of Migliora's working notebooks. It is enhanced by the use of metallic Pantone. The images that accompany the text, tinted in metallic Pantone, are backstage material, illustrations, concepts of works that the artist has carefully selected, sometimes playing with irony or contrasts. They are placed in dialogue with the text. The cover, silk-screened in white on Favini Tokyo Rust paper, features a work by the artist (“L’anello forte”, 2019) reproduced in a pattern of fixed-size dots. The research for the printing materials focused on elements that recall the artist’s practice: the earth (in the materiality and colour of the cover), the paper of the notebooks (the seven 8-page inserts containing the curatorial texts), the flexibility and softness of the volume as part of a creative process that is constantly open and moving.

The book, curated by Anna Cestelli Guidi and Matteo Lucchetti, gathers over thirty years of the artist’s production. It includes texts and exhibitions curated by: Diana Campbell, Anna Cestelli Guidi, Francesca Comisso and Nicoletta Leonardi, Maja and Reuben Fowkes, Matteo Lucchetti, Adrian Piper, and Andrea Viliani; and contributions by Eva Brioschi, Emanuele Coccia, Marzia Migliora, Elena Pugliese, Davide Quadrio, and Vandana Shiva.

The typography uses ABC Arizona Mix, often with its alternate monocular a, and ABC Diatype Mono, both from Dinamo.

With devices designed to support focus, health, and intentional living, Daylight is reshaping our relationship with technology from exhausting and addictive to energizing and magical. Working with the founding team, we created a design system that strikes a harmonious balance between futurism and nostalgia, digital and analog, the human world and the natural one.

With the rise of ‘dumbphones’ and an array of health-focused devices, people are seeking innovation that brings things back to a healthier, more analog, and more offline lifestyle. Daylight is emerging into this moment with a computing ecosystem built around low-stimulation, blue-light-free screens and a distraction-free OS.

The brand concept is inspired by the path of the sun (solis iter), which is responsible for innumerable biological processes including circadian rhythm (which isn’t disrupted by the DC-1’s amber backlit display). This subtly connects Daylight to the natural world without making the brand feel overtly earthy or hippie. Layouts and key design elements mimic the sun’s path, from headlines set in a diagonal path, to drop shadows that mimic those cast by the sun. Animations are calm and meditative, moving in an east-to-west direction.

A varied typographic palette adds texture and recognition to the visual identity of an already distinct product. ABC Arizona Mix brings the sophistication of a serif without feeling overtly bookish. Dinamo’s ABC ROM harkens back to the past age of tech (before current negative tech stuff like doomscrolling). The wordmark is set in ES Build by Extraset, which feels simultaneously modern (e.g. Dyson) and 1970s nostalgia (e.g. Playmobil).

What happens when two writers take turns crafting chapters of the same story, as “equals in imagination”, and with their identities kept secret from one another until the story ends?

Switch-Lit is an online platform and imaginative space for collaborative fiction created by Studio Esmé.

The animated T is actually based on ABC Arizona (Flare)! Additional animations show the colored circles (user avatars) in connection with the “light traps” of ABC Camera.

We used the light traps of ABC Camera as negative spaces for colored circles that represent our user base of individual writers around the world.

We chose to use all cuts of ABC Arizona to express the possibility for different voices within a larger family (or story).

Overall, the Switch-Lit identity and platform build upon your team’s original design intentions behind these typefaces, so we feel proud about that.
