IDENTITY, MAGAZINE DESIGN, and WEBSITE for EVEN — Taking its title from one of Duchamp’s most iconic works, Even is a contemporary art periodical situated somewhere between the slick, coffee table set and and those dry, impenetrable academic journals. The magazine’s strength is in globally-focused long-form criticism, in-depth interviews, and emerging artist portfolios; they take a stand against the lazy reprinting of exhibition blurbs and installation shots culled from press releases that plague so many visual culture publications. The layout inverts the established hierarchy of an art magazine by foregrounding text over image, a strategy present right on the cover, where the table of contents redacts the primary image, only hinting at what’s in discussion on the interior.
