Off the Grid by PIERRE SATOSHI BENOIT
This publication examines four A4 posters designed by MJS (Markus Jura Suisse) between 1978 and 1980. The cover has been silk-screen printed using leftover inks and comes in five different colors (in our bookshop you can find in blue and green). It is supplemented with an A2 offset reproduction of the four posters in the middle.
It was typeset according to a stamp that MJS produced in 1978. Each word has been manually laid out one by one. All of the pages come with variations of layouts inspired by his collage process blending original documents with content produced for the publication.
It is part of the investigative project "Um gegen angelerntes Leben zu sein" ("Against the Trained Life"), supervised by Sean Yendrys and Matthew Stuart.
