The latest issue of Movement Research Performance Journal, published by Movement Research – a New York–based non-profit founded in the 1970s, dedicated to dance and performance art.
This tabloid-sized journal is web-printed on newsprint in 5000 copies and distributed for free around the world.
There are no over-arching grids or design templates to the journal – each issue is (re)designed from scratch to fit its unique content and editorial perspectives. A new layout system is developed for each issue in close collaboration with the journal's editors and is applied across ~100 pages of artists' contributions, spanning essays, interviews, poetry, and visual work.
The journal’s design has been a long-term relationship between designers and editors, and a continuous typographic investigation of the themes evident in the journal’s name – Movement, Research, and Performance.
