This book doesn’t just document an artistic project — it amplifies its visual and conceptual impact through every material detail.
“Jeffrey Gibson: the space in which to place me”, published by DelMonico Books, accompanies the artist’s participation in the U.S. Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale. 🇺🇸🏛️
Jeffrey Gibson is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary American art. His work merges Indigenous heritage, q***r identity, and pop culture into a layered and powerful visual language.
📕 The graphic design, by Dylan Fracareta, reflects this complexity through a rich and carefully constructed editorial object:
Clothbound cover with a rounded spine, applied panel with metallic finish, and debossed spine.
🖨️ Inside, the choice of materials enhances the visual narrative:
• A mix of uncoated, coated, and fluorescent papers
• UV-coated pages to heighten color brilliance
• Fluorescent Pantones on uncoated papers
• Metallic Pantones on fluorescent papers
• Die-cut inserts with window openings
• Four fold-out posters reproducing artworks by the artist integrated into the book’s flow as standalone, collectible elements.
An editorial project that brings together artistic research, graphic design, and high-end production to create a book that is a natural extension of the work itself.
