The catalogue contains a review of 11 exhibitions held during 2008 in the Extended Media Gallery. Each exhibition is treated as a separate topic, differentiated by colour and layout — depending on the amount of copy, the textual block and size of the letters change. The building of HDLU in which the gallery is housed is one of the key points of reference in Zagreb. The striking curves of the ring of the HDLU building occupy the main role in the monochrome introductory pages and in the spreads. They are also an additional key to the understanding of the author’s choice of typography. According to urban legend, Frank Lloyd Wright in fact stole his idea for the New York Guggenheim Museum from this very building. In words of designer, appropriating the official script of the Guggenheim (Verlag typeface) is a kind of revenge.
