"Really? Can an exhibition about the history of lunchtime in the city have that much to say? Yes: Going to this show is a bit like heading out to a street cart or a food truck and finding that there is much more to choose from than you thought possible…. It is all playfully and elegantly designed. The Web resources are rich as well, including detailed links to images and invitations to help transcribe menus from the library’s collection." — Edward Rothstein, June 22, 2012
Under the art direction of Pure+Applied, I was involved with exhibition graphics, print collateral, materials sourcing and production.
