Lovett/Codagnone: Closer
Editor, Designer
2025
Closer, a catalog published on the occassion of Each Man Kills the Thing He Loves, Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, April 5 - May 25, 2025. The catalog focuses on a single Lovett/Codagnone performance, Closer (1998/2005), which is archived and given new form in the exhibition by Julie Tolentino. It features an interview with Lovett/Codagnone and Lia Gangitano from 2006, never before published, and an essay by curator Andrew Suggs on “Sonic Traces of Subcultures” in the performance.
The design of the booklet nods to the studio walls of ephemera in the exhibition [see above]. A few objects from the studio walls have been reproduced in facsimile form and tipped into the booklet, along with six stills from the 1998 version of Closer, printed on vellum squares.
