Abbott Miller

After founding the multidisciplinary studio Design/Writing/Research in 1989 with Ellen Lupton, Abbott Miller joined Pentagram's New York office as a partner in June 1999. He has pioneered the concept of 'designer as author', undertaking projects in which content and form are developed in a symbiotic relationship. His projects are often concerned with the cultural role of design and the public life of the written word. A member of the Society of Environmental Graphic Designers (SEGD), and a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI), Miller has received numerous design honours. Since 1997 he has been Co-Chair, with Ellen Lupton, of the Graphic Design Department of the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. He is a contributing editor of Eye magazine and the co-author of four books including Design/Writing/Research: Writing on Graphic Design, also published by Phaidon.
Patsy Tarr is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of 2wice magazine and President of the '2wice Arts Foundation', a not-for-profit organization based in New York that supports art, film, dance and performance through its publications, as well as making grants and charitable gifts.
Nancy Dalva writes regularly about dance for The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly and The New York Times, among other publications. She is a senior writer for 2wice magazine.
