Glissmann
Newsprint Publication
This publication gathers the work of emerging artists and designers who have hacked, bent, and reimagined the archive—not as a static repository of the past, but as a generative starting point for new work. Participants treat the idea of archiving itself as a method—as a lens for inquiry, and a way to intervene in dominant narratives. What is preserved? What is excluded? Who decides?
All projects were developed in the class Critical THinking and Making: The Visual Archive, taught at Parsons School of Design, 2019-2024.
The publication’s design takes inspiration from newsprint, reflecting the archive as a living, circulating form. Its typography follows this concept through a single-size system and a radical alignment to the right margin, leaving open space for visual recordings. The punched hole references early archival printing methods, linking material design with the act of preservation and transmission.
