New Delhi-based artist Mithu Sen and her New York Gallery, Bose Pacia, commissioned Jackfruit to design a publication for an installation project housed in an apartment in New York City. The task was to create something that had the regularity of a diary, the spontaneity of an artist’s book and the refinement of a gallery catalogue for a project about guest-host relationships in a foreign country. Jackfruit designed a special pouch, evocative of the artist’s engagement with readymade objects and hand-rendered imagery and produced a screen-printed bookmark with hand embroidery. Jackfruit also edited, proofread, and coordinated the compilation of the text from the various authors and supervised the printing.
