CDRL is pleased to announce the editors of the Lab’s major print and digital publication project which will reveal the multiple narratives lodged within the twelve extraordinary site-specific commissions of The New School’s art collection. We’re pleased to welcome Frances Richard to the Lab, who will be editing the book component of the project, and John Reed, editor of the mobile website that will serve as a generative space for further writings and pedagogical opportunities.
