Clip, Stamp, Fold & Staple
Next Sunday (June 27, 2010), Clip/Stamp/Fold will open at NAiM / Bureau Europa (Maastricht). C/S/F is an exhibition focusing on architectural fanzines from the '60s and '70s, and for this show we designed an invitation, two posters (A2 and A0), a bilingual catalog, a fanzine, the typography in the exhibition, the titles on the wall, etc.
C/S/F is actually a travelling exhibition: it first took place in 2007, at the Storefront in New York City, and has been touring ever since. The website of the original NYC show, designed by Project Projects, can be seen here. Further information about the Dutch edition of C/S/F can be found on the website of Bureau Europa. Next week's opening features a program of public lectures, so when in the neighbourhood, do drop by.

NYC / TLA
We'll be off the radar for a couple of weeks. Tomorrow we're heading to NYC; we'll be back in the studio mid-April. Why New York? Well, first of all, we're gonna conduct/deliver a small workshop/lecture at Pratt Institute. Secondly, we have some meetings planned. But other than that, we're trying to keep it as open as possible. We just want to walk around, go to shows and exhibitions, eat nice vegetarian food, and walk around some more. Free as a bird. If you bump into us in the streets, say hi!
Regarding the lecture, we're actually planning to do a talk about the use of acronyms in our work; the workshop will be about acronyms as well. The working title is TLA.
(We have to admit, we received very friendly invitations to do some more lectures while in NY, but we politely declined. One lecture is already nerve-racking enough!)

Antibodies
Currently showing at NAiM / Bureau Europa: 'Antibodies', a large retrospective on the work of Brazilian furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana. For this exhibition, we designed all printed matter (A0- and A2-sized posters, invitation, brochure, adverts, etc.) and the sign system (titles, captions, interior and exterior typography).  'Antibodies' runs from March 13 to June 6, 2010, at NAiM / Bureau Europa, Avenue Céramique 226, Maastricht. (Photo via Design News).

Back from Barca
We just came back from Barcelona, where we had a truly amazing time. The reason for our trip was a lecture we were asked to deliver at the MACBA, on the occasion of the DHUB exhibition A New Typeface.  Thanks to Silvia Roses, Laura Meseguer, Ramon Prat, Bartomeu Mari and everybody else involved, for making this event possible. (The above image is a twitpic that we 'borrowed' from a person called Kaaliss; sorry for that). If we ever get the time, we will certainly publish a transcript of the lecture on our website; we hope to have a chance to update our online archive later this year. |
