This year we are the designers-in-residence for the music and art festival: “Into The Great Wide Open” which takes place every year on the Dutch island Vlieland. The festival is split into two sections: “Here Comes The Summer” in May followed by “Into The Great Wide Open” in late August.

This year’s visuality for the Solothurn Literary Days is based on two “actors” representing literature: a pencil and a book. With very sober drawings in strong colors we created situations that tell simple humorous stories. The viewer can enter a tale through a door, immerse into it through in swimmingpool or let pencils lead him the way. The goal was to create a different illustration for every media carrier—but unfortunately the festival was canceled before most of the products got realized.

This poster series was originally intended to be seen all over the city of Frankfurt am Main. It was designed (or rather it was still in the design process when the project was cut off) for Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, a cultural institution for contemporary dance and choreography, performance and innovative formats. “corponomy—Politics of the Body” was the thematic focus in the remaining months of this season and would have created a forum that illuminates the entanglements of ethics, aesthetics and politics in the field of bodies and their movements.

PUB Printing Services is a radical laboratory for instant publications within PUB. The project, started in 2019 within the framework of Sandberg Instituut Graduation Shows, consists of a nomadic printing studio set up in a rented van. Printer, Radio, Paper, Mics and a team of 5 designers and artists, travelling through Amsterdam collecting interviews from the various participants in the different exhibitions. Printing instantly on the spot the results of every interview translated with Google Voice Recognition. PUB Printing Services adapt itself to the ever changing environment.

I’d like to introduce the poster that was intended for an underground Korean music concert. The goal of this project was to reveal and reflect on the ideology of the currently unsung musicians. The graphic element on the poster illustrates fickle waves as representing ideals and beliefs. The lack of a grid system gives the viewer an anxiety and yet the relationship with the negative space gives an ironic sense of stability. The poster draws the viewer’s attention through ironic visual language, while celebrating and taking comfort in the artist’s ideas.

We imagined the Comic Books’ Designs Archive (part 1) on an invitation of Julie Peeters to organise a workshop for the graphic design students of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Gent (KASK), Belgium.

The workshop aimed to look at the representation of graphic design through the lens of the comic book genre. We were interested in the way printed matters are represented, drawn, scaled, and abstracted down to few signifying elements. Each student was given a piece of comic strip and the following instructions:

Hors Lits Suisse, as a loose network of artists, organizes events in the form of exclusive performances for a small audience directly from the most private of all institutions: the bed. The idea, born in France, has also taken root in Switzerland and now takes place for four consecutive days in Bern, Vevey, Nyon and Biel. For this event series, 7er Studio designed flyers, posters, pins and a website. In order to graphically implement intimacy of the project, 7er Studio chose two simple elements and carefully put them together: small illustrations of surreal assembled components of beds, houses and balconies and the font “Labil Grotesk”, which is characterized by playfully tilted letters.
