About the publisher
Information Office
Canada · Art books and design · Since 2006
Information Office is an art book publisher and design studio in Canada. Derek Barnett formed it in 2006 as an independent design studio, and he leads it as principal. Talks with the curator Jonathan Middleton in 2017 moved the company toward publishing. Information Office says it approaches publishing as a meeting of curation and design. It makes art books, graphic design, websites and identities, often with cultural institutions and contemporary artists, many of them in Vancouver. Its list includes Under 60 Tons by Reave Dennison, co-published with Pale Fire and co-designed by Barnett, as well as Jan Wade: Soul Power and Edith Heath: Philosophies.
