Typographer Will Holder makes printed and oral publications with artists, using conversation as tool and model for publishing conditions – whereby roles of commissioner/author/subject/editor/designer are improvised and shared. Holder is editor of F.R.DAVID, a journal concerned with reading and writing in the arts (published by de Appel, Amsterdam). In May 2009 he co-curated TalkShow at the ICA – an exhibition / events programme dealing with speech and accountability.
He is currently editing (w. Alex Waterman) a biography of American composer Robert Ashley, for two or more voices (forthcoming); and rewriting William Morris’ News from Nowhere (1876) into a serially published guide for design education and practise – set in 2135.
