DI:Rectangle
Call for Participation
DI:Rectangle is a collaborative publishing initiative between DesignInquiry + Directangle Press.
Our collaboration will take place over a year-long investigation of collective research, compiled and “bound” as a limited edition print and publication portfolio and accompanying print-on-demand facsimile featuring writing and supplemental content. A digital downloadable PDF will also be made available after August 2026.
We invite you to join us over the next year as we investigate the concept and form of:
◄◄◄ THE RECTANGLE
"Rectangle" is presented as both a constraint and creative catalyst. It shapes how we see, organize, create, communicate, and publish. Its ubiquity renders it nearly invisible, a transparent container for content rather than an active participant in meaning-making.
We ask participants to create contributions in the form of an edition of 75 prints, zines, or small books (within a specified dimension) in response to the theme. If you aren’t able to contribute a finished edition, there is potential for us to help facilitate or realize the production of your contribution. Additionally, we invite contributions in the form of images or writing to be included in the print-on-demand facsimile and digital PDF.
DesignInquiry is a non-profit collective exploring the intersection of design, art, and cultural discourse through immersive group experiences and creative research.
Directangle Press is a letterpress, Risograph, printmaking, and book-arts studio located in Bethlehem, NH that provides dedicated time and space for artists to research, create, and collaborate.
