Whilst at Research & Development, I collaborated with Daniel Olsson and Jonas Topooco for the book presenting the artist Jacob Dahlgren’s complete body of work to date. Surveying over 20 years, this comprehensive monograph brings together works from the early 2000s and includes texts by Magnus af Petersens, Renate Wiehager, Jacquelyn Davis, Matthias Ulrich, Steven Wolf, Stina Högkvist, Harry Weeks and Sally O’Reilly.
The design concept rejects the custom chronological order in favour of the alphabetical order. This allowed for the old to meet the new and offered a fresh reading of the works. By using a self-referential idiom for the book title, we established the scope and structure on the first page. Edited by Research and Development and Jacob Dahlgren. Published by Garrett Publications. Printed by Wonderful Books.
