Opening expositie Sigrid Calon

Tussen het reizen, geven van lectures, experimenteren, en de Dutch Design Week door had Sigrid Calon nog best even tijd om een expositie op te zetten.

Haar werk ontstaat door de drang en nieuwsgierigheid om te onderzoeken, ontdekken en creëren. Het vanzelfsprekende wordt anders gezien wat een zee aan nieuwe mogelijkheden geeft, die zij dan weer lekker verbeeldt op een heldere en pure manier.

Deze experimenten, kleuren, vormen en verschillende composities vormen samen een nieuwe serie riso prints die vanaf aankomende zaterdag, samen met haar nieuwe boek, te zien is in Oz. Wij zijn zaterdag dus in Amsterdam te vinden.

KABK stoor identiteit

Mary Ponomareva ontwierp de identiteit voor de nieuwe conceptstore van het KABK waar kunst en grafisch werk van (oud-)studenten wordt verkocht.

De ‘KABK Stoor’ is opgebouwd uit verschillende modules die terugkomen in het logo en de rest van de identiteit. Op speelse wijze worden chaos en structuur gecombineerd. Met opzichtige statements recht uit de reclamewereld wordt de bezoeker gevraagd om niet alleen veel kunst te komen kopen maar ook om goed te kijken.

ROLU, rosenlof/lucas, ro/lu

+ CHAIR OSB

Ro/lu is a design/art studio focused on designing and building furniture. Their clear influences of Judd, Reitveld, Burton and Schindler couldn’t stop me from looking at their work. The clear structures and lines combined with the rawness of the particleboard leave me wanting to deconstruct their + Chair into its individual pieces.

Sara De Bondt — Double-sided Postcard

“This self-published postcard is identical on both sides. When it was sent to print, the printers got confused and called up to say I forgot to supply the front of the postcard. It can be used in lots of different ways and is even more fun when sent abroad.” —Sarah De Bondt

Alfalfa Studio: Design Journeys Mural

The 36 x 10 foot Design Journeys Mural was designed exclusively for the show titled You Are Here, a participatory exhibition shinning light on the careers of 25 designers from a variety of backgrounds, whose own lives and experiences demonstrate the ideal combination of diversity and excellence.

The mural showcases the last names of the 25 designers united in a visual typographic journey. In an organic, fluid way, one last name leads to the other, inviting the viewer to follow the journey by connecting the various shapes, letters, and textures. Each of the 25 last names are rendered in a different typographic style combining organic and geometric forms—script, serif, san serifs and everything in between. The mural visually demonstrates how all the designer’s journeys are different and unique yet they all are part of a whole.

At the opening, and, during the two-month exhibition, attendees were encouraged to be active participants by coloring the mural. At the end of this interactive experience, the mural became a colorful, graffiti-like artwork that captured the experience not only of the 25 featured designers but, also, of the attendees to the exhibit.

Studio Rašić — Leave a Mark

“A rich collection of graphics from foreign and croatian artists owned by the National and University Library in Zagreb was shown at the Museum of Arts and Crafts for the 90th anniversary of the graphics collection. Studio Rašić designed the exhibition which has over 650 exhibits on 1100m2.”

At the end of the exhibition there is an interactive installation called ˝Leave a mark.” It is movement-sensitive, and presents a contemporary form of imagery – virtual and temporary. Multiple hand prints remind visitors of the very beginning of visual expression.
