The studio designed the exhibition graphics and leaflet for AUDIT, a solo exhibition by Reinis Lismanis at Gerald Moore Gallery. Developed through studio visits and conversations with the artist, the project centred on the idea of auditing as a process of taking stock, registering activity, and checking systems. Because printers play a recurring role in Lismanis’ practice, the visual language drew from printer diagnostics and production reports found in the studio. Their formats echo the tables and logs used in audits and stock checks, linking the exhibition’s theme to the mechanics of production. The layouts of ink-level readouts, alignment sheets, and system logs informed the typographic approach, while a small QC-style sticker marked AUDIT-RL became the central graphic device. The leaflet became the primary vehicle for the identity. Designed to resemble a printer report, it organised exhibition information, work details, and a map within a structured, table-like layout echoing machine-generated documents. The sticker and large typographic mark were overlaid onto this, allowing the publication to operate simultaneously as guide, document, and graphic object. A minor print artefact that appeared during production was intentionally retained, echoing the artist’s interest in traces, errors, and the material behaviour of reproduction. |
