Please join us at Bungee Space for An Advance Reading * with Nontsikelelo Mutiti * from the soon-to-be-released publication, A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design by David Reinfurt, published by Inventory Press, 2025. Nontsi joins David for short readings from the book’s preface and introduction. There will be an attempt to open a portal to the MAK Center in Los Angeles, where Adam Michaels of Inventory Press, Daniel Perlin, and Dave Harrington will be premiering a 5-hour improvised *Theme* from A *New* Program for Design — a precursor to an upcoming LP release related to David’s book. |

From ancient Rome to outer space, A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design features contributions by Danielle Aubert, Tauba Auerbach, Barbara Glauber, Shannon Harvey, Adam Michaels, Philip Ording, and Adam Pendleton. This collectively driven text expands David Reinfurt’s pragmatic and experimental approach to pedagogy into a collaborative project that weaves together a multiplicity of voices to present a polyphonic approach to design history and teaching. |

|
This book extends Reinfurt’s highly acclaimed A *New* Program for Graphic Design to include material from three new Princeton University courses (Circulation, Multiplicity, and Research) expressly designed for online teaching. |

 |
|
|
These courses present a *co-*llaborative and *co-*operative way of telling and teaching design history, taking on subjects from the Detroit Printing Co-op, Corita Kent, and Charles and Ray Eames, to Marshall McLuhan, Sylvia Harris, and Virgil Abloh. Through a series of in-depth historical case studies and assignments that progressively build in complexity, the book serves as a practical guide to visually understanding the history—and shaping the future—of our designed world. |
