This catalogue is a companion to the exhibition “Derek Sullivan: We May Be Standing on the Shoulder of Giants But Some of Us Are Looking at the Stars,” presented at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. The design tries to convey the artist’s fascination and obsession with the ephemera of pop culture. For example, the book is wrapped in a jacket that is also a folded poster. The French-folded pages were inspired by the artist’s preference that his poster works be installed as an unbroken sequence. The folded fore-edge of the catalogue’s pages allowed us to bleed images and text over the sides of pages smoothly. The resulting seamless flow of the whole book echoes the endless quality that permeates the artist’s work. 

The simplicity of the cover hides and invites you to the bold content within.

Images and type flow throughout the book in a descriptive and clear manner.
