A catalogue documenting the seven-part exhibition series held at the gallery aM in 2015, under the curation of art critic Noriaki Kitazawa and Koichi Wada, a researcher at The Miyagi Museum of Art. The catalogue is divided into two volumes, featuring photographs of the exhibitions, transcripts of artist talks, and critical essays. 

The logo design employs overlapping letters to symbolize a “palimpsest,” a term referring to the practice of erasing and overwriting text. 

By contrasting the colors and typography of Japanese and English, logo also function as a perspectives of the two curators.
