Acme was commissioned by curator Kate Addleman-Frankel and the Working Image Collective to design the catalogue for Bright Lights Dark City: Niagara Custom Lab and Toronto Experimental Film a feature exhibition in the 2015 Contact Photography Festival. Bright Lights Dark City explores the anarchic spaces of Niagara Custom Lab and the remarkable local culture it encourages, embodies, and sustains. The book brings together nine artists, both emerging and established, whose documentary and conceptual work showcases the significance of the lab to diverse projects and practices. Acme also designed the exhibition didactics and promotional materials (including the trailer at the bottom of this page).
With work by Michael Barker, Carl E. Brown, Sylvain Chausée, Kelly Egan, R. Bruce Elder, Elisa Julia Gilmour, John Porter, John Price, and Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof.
