ISSUE 6 ALLORA & CALZADILLA
“Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla’s issue consisted of a tennis shoe with its shoelace sewn into the spine of a blank book entitled "Problems and Promises".
The printing and binding of the book were made possible by Griff Williams at Urban Digital Color in San Francisco, who found someone willing to bind a book with a shoelace in it.”
This has been in the box it was shipped in with the tissue, the shoe foxed in the box. It’s never been displayed.
THE THING began in 2007 as an experimental publication by visual artists Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan. It was an effort to open up a new, affordable access point to experiencing art. Not thinking the project would last more than a year, Jonn and Will made all of the objects by hand. Now, THE THING is a collaboration between the small team assembled in our office, the many contributors we invite to take part, and a range of designers, makers, and manufacturers.
