Cleopatra’s “No Vacancy”

Cleopatra’s Gallery “No Vacancy” Catalog

Dear Erin,
I would like to propose a structure for catalog. The title “no vacancy” immediately brings to mind apartment buildings and motels, both which have something in common with publications, that is, a group of numbered containers. Can the book folios mimic the placement of numbers on hotel room doors? To complete the metaphor maybe every page is filled, no blank chapter endings etc. It would be interesting to come up with a custom type face for the folios or some kind of revival, although based on the content it may be best to neutralize the typography. Obviously I am not suggesting the catalog mimic the visual language of apartments or motels, just references the structure.
Talk soon,
Sincerely
Peter

Art Fag City & Hyperallergic

Super-fast, Univers-set, tri-fold ledger event guide for the 2011 art fair week. I always want to say Armory but of course more is going on. Both Art Fag City and Hyperallergic are websites that write about contemporary and visual arts and culture.

Cameron Martin website

Cameron’s work is part painting, part photography and part printing making. His palette is often a small range of grey resulting in low contrast images whose impact on the eye vary immensely depending on the ambient light. The WordPress enabled site is super simple with the exception of the “splash” page whose background cycles through a range of grey.
