But now space was part of the object¹ is an inquiry into whether or not a typeface can be absent in its own type specimen. Negative space becomes positive space, secondary becomes primary, reference becomes content. False protagonist Booq Alt delivers the performance of Booq—a typeface whose identity can only be imagined through the interplay of transcribed lectures from Booksfromthefuture Summer School 2015 and a pool of public domain images.
A publication by Masaki Miwa and Ying Tong Tan, published in parallel with The multiple lives of a blank book (Booksfromthefuture, 2015).

The multiple lives of a blank book is a cross-cultural tale of bookness, blankness and multiplicity, bringing the cinematic genre of documentary fiction to the printed page.
50 contributors were provided with a blank book to use as a symbol, tool or prop for conducting and documenting experimental enactments. The resulting story – a sequence of deeds, episodes, tableaus and vignettes – seeks to reveal as much about the zeitgeist as it does about the book.

Catalog for The Beach That Never Was, held August 7th through September 14, 2014 at Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore.
Alluding to the dual character of the tropical beach town as being a paradise for tourists but mundane to locals, The Beach That Never Was is an exhibition that explores conflicting notions of home in the context of the globalised city. Spanning a diverse range of installation, sculpture, painting, photography, drawing and video, the exhibition focuses on artists based in Singapore, Japan and the USA, whose mixed experiences of having lived in and/or between these countries often manifest in their art.
