Marta Marcé


A booklet for an exhibition of Marta Marcé at Camden Arts Center. Originally, James Goggin and Sara De Bondt designed a format of the File Notes, a continuous booklet series.

Practise was asked by Camden Arts Centre to design an continuous series of A5 publications, ‘File Notes’, for each exhibition at Camden Arts Centre. The result is a series of booklets with die-cut numbered tabs and bound with looped staples, enabling the whole collection to be read as a reference book when collated in our custom screen-printed PVC A5 binders. A consistent grid and typography set (including James Goggin’s ‘Helix New’ font) is countered by a shifting colour and materials palette depending on the artist or exhibition. While each individual File Note is merely a simple 8 or 12 page booklet, once bound together, the collection closer resembles a lavish yearbook, full of different paper stocks, various process and Pantone colours, laminations and die-cut tabs. — James Goggin / Practise
