Book Covers edit
Joint created collages for the cover for every issue of the annual arts journal The Sienese Shredder (2006–2010) and the slipcase that housed the volumes,[6] as well as the 10th Anniversary Edition of Virginia Woolf's On Being Ill, published by Paris Press in 2012.
Curator edit
As curator of the Shredder space, Joint was a pivotal to the partnership that formed New York's Schroeder Romero & Shredder gallery. Interviewed by Art in America Magazine, the gallery's director Mark Shortliffe encapsulated the program: "The gallery will always have a strong contemporary show but will hopefully stretch how we view new art by pairing it with older, influential works. We'll show two exhibitions simultaneously: one contemporary and one historical, encouraging a dialogue between the two."[7]
In The New York Times review of Schroeder Romero's VIVD and Shredder's PAVERS, Roberta Smith said, "The shows' invigorating call and response bodes well for future interactions between these side-by-side entities."[8]
As an independent curator, Joint also organized Manufactured Unreality: The Art of Collage at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art[9]
