Structured as an A–Z, it brings together 26 entries, one from each artist, forming a shared vocabulary of ideas, concerns, and positions emerging from this generation. Part reference book, part collective artwork.\n\nThe design follows this A–Z logic throughout. Two typefaces,**Artistik** and Zénith, were chosen to embody the span typographically: one expressive and unfamiliar, the other stable and readable. The idea of A–Z is also resolved through colour. The book is printed in registration black, using 100% of each C, M, Y and K plate. For New Contemporaries, where colour is usually prominent, this produces a deliberate shift: all colours present, but resolved into black.\n\nThe format sits between A5 and A4, giving the publication a familiar scale while allowing it to feel more substantial than a typical zine. Letters replace page numbers, the contents move onto the cover, and the typography carries the structure across the book.\n\nThe result is a publication that functions as index, object, and artwork at once, extending the exhibition while standing on its own.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: ashleykinnard.com **Photo: Ashley Kinnard Studio.
