The Serpentine Gallery Manifesto Marathon was the third in the gallery’s Marathon series conceived by curator Hans Ulrich Obrist. We were invited to design the accompanying book and pamphlet for the two-day event in Hyde Park, which addressed the notion of the manifesto in the twenty-first century. Making reference to the pamphlet-like quality of manifestos and the endurance-like nature of the Marathon, the oversized book carries almost no fixed design form. Instead the volume appears as an overwhelming stack of individual manifestos simply bound together with staples.
