Exhibition design: Abbott Miller, Pentagram Design, New
York.
“Everybody Dance Now: 20 Years of Dancing in Print” is a survey
of the award-winning visual and performing arts magazines Dance
Ink and 2wice, designed by Abbott Miller. The exhibition
features the magazines' historic collaborations with dancers,
choreographers,' and photographers, the result of a single,
powerful idea of creating performances within the unique “stage” of
the printed page.
Emerging from the 1990s New York dance community, Dance
Ink was conceived by its publisher Patsy Tarr as an alternative
performance space, one that had the advantage of becoming a
physical record of this most ephemeral art form. 2wice, its
successor, continues in this tradition with a focus on editions
that use the medium of print to evoke the tactile, visual and
temporal qualities of performance.
The exhibition, designed by Miller, includes the publications,
books, photographs, posters and artifacts related to the production
of these unique documents of contemporary dance. The exhibition is
on display at the AIGA National Design
Center, at 164 Fifth Avenue (between 21st and 22nd Streets) in
New York.
