In early 2020 we’ve designed the communication material for “Mittelbau Forum” an event dedicated to the associates of ETH Zurichs Architectural Department (DArch). Unfortunately the event was first postponed and later on, due Covid-19, canceled.

Poster for the Art Festival “Tumultingent8” in Ghent. Translated as “Uproar in Ghent”. Each year the festival selects a series of ghent-based cultural institutes to curate the program of the festival. Combining the cultural scene of Ghent in one chaotic, but inspiring week around the library of Ghent.

Last spring, to accompany the launch of a book I designed with the artist Sam Contis, we created a set of two promotional newsprint posters. On the front of each poster was the same enlarged image from the book, a photograph by iconic American photographer Dorothea Lange taken in Fallen Leaf Lake, California, whose work the book radically reexamines. On the back of each poster are two different sets of images reproduced proportionally and in the same sequence as in the book, with a set of corresponding notes. One set of images comes from the first half of the book, the second set from the second half, so together all of the images are represented.

The posters were distributed at the first book launch at Mast Books in New York and a lecture at the Yale School of Art in New Haven, before the pandemic prevented any more in-person events. As a result Sam and I still have several hundred copies sitting in boxes in our studios, waiting to be distributed…

This was supposed to be a foldable 11 x 17” (2-sided) program guide/mailer/poster for Sidewalk Detroit. It focused on an annual celebration of art, music, and spatial equity in Detroit’s Eliza Howell Park. In hindsight, it was a lot of fun to do. The squiggly line drawings were based on the types of birds 🐦 (yellow finches) and pinkish 🌸 flora + fauna that you would see scattered throughout the park during the Spring/Summer. The main illustration, titles, and sub-titles were all hand-lettered. Colors were all about summer (yellow for sun, green for a large grassy park). This event’s programming eventually transitioned online. It became a series of short-term mobile/digital performances. New artists would produce works every few weeks and then hop online to have a virtual chat with Sidewalk Detroit’s executive director to discuss their creative practices, do live (remote) Yoga with Detroit residents, etc.

This visual announced the event of the two audio pieces “Bodies of Water” and “Threnodie für den Lockdown” by Anais Orr and Demian Jakob. The event could not take place because the Swiss government changed the Corona regulations a few days before the show.

Eusebes & Makhimos is a septet jazzband from Paris. Their music finds its roots in classical jazz and grows through diverse genres such as rock, film score and progressive music. I started working with the band in 2017 by designing their first album cover with Pierre-Henri Terrade. Last year, they released their second album called “Far Away From the Way.” I designed these posters for a series of gigs that were cancelled due to covid restrictions. Their purpose was to convey the epic and dreamlike universe of their music. They will be used when concerts become a thing again - hopefully soon!

The poster and flyer were designed for the festival ‘Verhülltes entdecken!’ by the Neukölln district office in Belin. Like other events, the festival has been postponed due to a lock-down in Germany and has yet to be held.

Weefsel (Tissue) was one of those ‘file under meaningful’ projects. It was a publication for Dutch artist, Ine Boermans, who started writing a few years ago because of health challenges. Her personal essays about her relation to art, making art, and (art) philosophy, mainly got published in online magazines and occasionally in print. Weefsel would be her first independent publication and was made possible by The Mondriaan Fund. (a national fund for the arts) It would merge her writing into one personal, new super-essay on art and would appear as a one-off free magazine.
