This is a 64-page hardcover clothbound exhibition catalogue for a proposed exhibition by California artist Ed Ruscha. The concept of the exhibition and catalogue was modelled after Ruschas' 1967 book, 34 Parking Lots in Los Angeles. The exhibition would showcase thirty four distinct pieces from Ruschas' career to date. The publication employed a typeface entitled Tapeworm, which was modelled after Ruschas's recognizable geometric letters. It also features a biography of the artist and an essay by Diedrich Diederichsen alongside the thirty four paintings included in the exhibition. It was completed as part of the coursework for "Typography 3" at OCAD U.
