Miller, J. Abbott

PENTAGRAM
USA

jury chairman

In 1989 he founded the multidisciplinary studio Design/Writing/Research where, in collaboration with Ellen Lupton, he pioneered the concept of "designer as author" undertaking projects in which content and form are developed in a symbiotic relationship. He joined Pentagram's New York office as a partner in June 1999. Abbott's projects are often concerned with the cultural role of design and the public life of the written word. At Pentagram he leads a team designing books, magazines, catalogues, identities, exhibitions, and creating editorial projects. He is a Vice President of the American Center for Design. Since 1997 Abbott 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, most recently: Ellen Lupton - Abbott Miller: Design Writing Research. Writing on Graphic Design. Kiosk 1996, Phaidon Press Ltd., 1999.
