THE BOOK FROM A—Z

A—Z is a one-of-a-kind independent space in Berlin, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of graphic design. It challenges traditional perceptions and the limits of its practices, making it a unique and intriguing interdisciplinary initiative. The space, founded and curated by German graphic designer Anja Lutz, showcases and promotes ideas and projects that explore graphic design's more unconventional and experimental facets.

‘THE BOOK FROM A—Z’ showcases the A—Z space journey in its past five years of intense and wide range of activities, documenting the exhibitions, the featured artists, the multifarious conceptual ideas on graphic design, related events, anecdotes, entertaining mishaps and visions for the future of the practice. The publication is richly illustrated and features interviews, manifestos and articles by international design scholars and critics, edited by Anja Lutz.

In what could be defined as a “Lexicon for beyond graphic design”, ‘THE BOOK FROM A—Z’ aims to inspire reflections on the future of graphic design visioned in its intersections with other areas, such as contemporary art, cultural research or social engagement. ‘THE BOOK FROM A—Z’ becomes, therefore, a meta-level of performance of graphic design, structuring insights through the Latin alphabet, from “Asemic Writing”, via “Mindy Seu” all the way to “Zeitgeist” and hundreds of entries in between.
