Published April 23, 2026

Contributed by Jacob Wise

WT Garamono in use for by Wolfe Hall for Carrés by Mexican artist Rodrigo Hernández. According to the design studio, the publication —

accompanies two exhibitions of Rodrigo Hernández’s modular structural artwork, on which colourful, silver mounted plates can be moved by visitors along a wooden frame. Exploring the relationship between sculpture and image, space and object, stillness and movement. Positioned in different configurations at Künstler:innenhaus Bremen and P/////AKT, Amsterdam, the imagery is shuffled to not distinguish between each iteration.

Produced in a small format, the book is printed with metallic-silver ink throughout. Each side of the cover has two flaps, with an introduction in English and German at the front, and a list of works and colophon at the back. Each opening up to reveal close up details of the frame beneath.

Text is set in WT Garamono, a monospace take on the classical Garamond style that allows the poetic phrases to dance and shift across the page in a structured way, weaving between shuffled imagery from both exhibitions, and layering on top of each other through the lightly transparent paper.

Edited by Nadja Quante and published by Bierke, Carrés comes with a softback cover with section sewn binding and double cover flaps, finished with metallic ink. It has 48 pages measuring 140×210 mm.
