Public Good #2.

Public Good #2 gathers thirty New Zealand artists, writers, and curators responding to pre-existing issues, documents, and imagery relating to the idea of public good, each spread pairing the source material on the left-hand page with the response on the right. It belongs to an ongoing series of publications and exhibitions edited and curated by Kim Paton, with which I have been involved for some time—having contributed two works to the first Public Good exhibition and written for the first publication.

The book uses typefaces by Joseph Churchward and Radim Pesko; it is otherwise deliberately plain—a single paper stock and, the cover aside, a single typeface throughout—so that it relies on composition and scale to delineate its different registers of information.
