WERK No. 16: JOE MAGEE
This edition was the first retrospective of award winning artist filmmaker Joe Magee's work over a 10-year period, designed and published by Theseus Chan as part of the 'WERK' series. As editorial director, Alison Harley created an online dialogue between the artist in London and the designer Chan in Singapore. In the resulting publication, images sit side-by-side on equal footing with text and interviews, running to 376 full-colour-pages with die-cut foldouts pasted throughout, and a spine hand-finished with newspapers from the UK and SE Asia.
The publication won two prestigious industry awards at D&AD 2009 for Outstanding Achievement in Design and Image.
WERK No.16 was exhibited through an installation in the Rocket Gallery, Tokyo in 2008.
