Martin Venezky: What I Know About Photography

The catalog for Martin Venezky: What I Know About Photography explores a less known aspect of Venezky’s creative practice. A body of photographic work that has existed literally in the “background,” hovering behind or aside his signature ornate and dynamic typographic compositions. Most do not know that Venezky’s diverse practice has always included the making of images, photography and photographic processes playing an integral part in his work. The exhibition aims to highlight a parallel practice, investigating how a designer can have multiple lines of inquiry during a career that can not only be woven together, but appreciated in proximity to one another. The book includes over 100 images made between 1991 to the present, including snapshots, found photography, collage, and his most recent body of work titled “The New Machinery.”
