Adam Pendleton's Systems of Display series juxtapose a rich archive of found images with fractured words, using screenprinted mirror and glass. The publication produced to accompany an exhibition of these works and Pendleton's Black Dada canvasses uses this mixture of graphic image and clear typography as an integral part of its structure, both dividing and illustrating texts and other editorial matter.
For the book's cover, a facsimilie of a Sol LeWitt Incomplete Cube was built and photographed, referencing Pendleton's appropriation of these works in his series of Black Dada paintings.
Adam Pendleton: EL T D K was included in the AIGA's 50 covers 50 books awards.
