booklet 1, disambiguation

is the first in a normal number booklet series documenting 0 Points -- moments which both collapse and extend systemic potential. This first booklet documents Wikipedia Disambiguation Pages. In Wikipedia's words, Disambiguation pages are required "whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead." Full documentation to come.

SFMOMA mailer

is the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's bi-monthly programming calendar. I was asked to graphically interpret the museum name on the back top-half of the September/October, 2009 issue. With it, I looked into a system of form and phonics that shifts away from traditional typographic relationships.

design with(in) mediation

is my MFA thesis project—a proposed system for cross-referencing the mediation of typographic and lexical language within text. The documentation consists of five video screen-captures in which I introduce and demonstrate the system.

the secret of the ninth planet

is 2009's Thesis Exhibition Catalogue from the California College of the Arts Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice. Becoming visible in the absence of light, the catalogue-as-object acts as an active vehicle for the exhibition (which was originally described as a "meditation on latency"). 91 pages. 30% PCW.

sightlines

is the Thesis Publication from the California College of the Arts Graduate Visual and Critical Studies Department. The theses opening spreads, on the cover and in the body of the book, support each thesis as a singular entity produced within a shared program.158 pages. 30% PCW.

golden guns

is an annual journal, edited by Kate Phillmore and Courtenay Finn. Each issue investigates a single theme across disciplines. This first issue's theme is "investigation" itself. 52 pages. 100% PCW.

poli-sci and play-doh

diagrams ten critical terms related to late-capitalism. Readers match term-quotation cards with diagrams. The correctness of each match is open to interpretation. Depending on one's perspective, a single card may match all or none of the diagrams. The selection process suggests the relative nature of the concepts involved as well as the potential cross-relations among them. 10 spreads / 10 cards. 3D printed resin cover.

playspace lettering

is the redesign of PLAySPACE's window signage, which was later applied to collateral material. PLAySPACE Gallery (Paulette Long and Shepard Pollack Art Community Experiment) is the Graduate Student run art space at The California College of the Arts.

playspace auction posters

are three 13" x 19" posters for PLAySPACE Gallery's art auction. The imagery references art-historically significant objects. Each is an object (or body) available outside of the art market that has — after artistic appropriation — continually gained cultural currency at auction.

playspace website

offers current and upcoming gallery event information along with an archive of past exhibitions.

admin

is Luke Turner's administrative office in the California College of the Arts. It is an art space he curates dedicated to re-interpreting office space and bureaucratic information systems. This web-site is for Luke to archive admin projects and post information. The background image presents Luke's office, which you can mess with by adjusting browser-size.

ink-time study

approaches the dissipation of seconds from one year to the next with a less predictable, albeit similarly finite timeline: ink-cartridge exhaustion. Three 11" x 17" inkjet prints

1st sheet = new cartridge.
2nd sheet = 75% empty.
3rd sheet = automatically ejected after printing the countdown, cartridge replacement requested.

document with 9 themes

is a multi-page document reviewing 9 themes that surfaced from a semester of critical theory reading. These readings generally discussed the history and the implications of globalized capitalism. The document contains 98 selected quotations, 22 supporting images, and personal written responses. The document acts as an expandable journal in which to include new findings from continued research.

expand MCAD

is an interactive map of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design's four-story main building. The goal of the project was to provide students, teachers, and visitors an alternative interface for navigating the school's physical and online environments.
