DI Reader

a collaboration with Jimmy Luu
for DesignInquiry
(2021)
:

This assortment of printed matter is entangled and contained in a business envelope. The project was collaboratively conceived by Tricia Treacy and Jimmy Luu in 2020, framers of the 2021 DesignInquiry residency on Vinalhaven, Maine.

Have you seen Ramon Tejada’s Decolonizing Design Reader? Or run across Mindy Seu’s Cyberfeminism Index? More than the thick blocks of photocopied paper that you might have picked up for a course in college, these contemporary readers exist in both digital and printed forms, are open-source, and work as ever-changing knowledge bases. Energized by explorations like these, DI’s Prepostness Reader evolved over two years in multiple formats.

It is a set of printer matter, designed and printed by Treacy, Luu, along with Steve Bowden, and Mark Zurolo.

Contributors: Steve Bowden, Anne Bush, Andy Campbell, Sarah Elwad, Samer Fouad, Olivia Fredricks, Andres Gonzales, Peter Hall, Margo Halverson, Mark Liadis, Sebastian Logue, Charles Melcher, Sandie Maxa, Kimmie Parker, Isaac Rames, Randy Reiger, Mark Sanders, Andrew Shea, Archana Shekara, Holly Willis, Mark Zurolo.

Risograph printed.
