This catalog for the graduates exhibition of the AdBK Nürnberg, an art academy in Nuremberg, Germany, is both a collection of individual booklets and a bag. The individual booklets with wire stitching contain works from the entire course of study of the students at the academy. The challenge was to have both individual booklets for the artists during their exhibition and to combine a conglomerate of these in a catalog. The idea for the bag arose from having a free hand for a drink and still being able to carry the catalogue. The design is a kind of file folder with metal stitching for the individual booklets. Punched holes are incorporated so that the whole can be used as a bag. The cover pocket is a chrome sulphate cardboard, the inner part is glossy picture print.
The catalog was made by Lucia Schmuck and Elisabeth Thoma, using Editorial Old and Hofmann, supported by Suisse Int’l Mono (not shown).
