MAPPING THE LIBRARY is the outcome of a workshop conducted by Experimental Jetset at Werkplaats Typografie, May – June 2010, part of the annual Best Books project at WT. Participants were asked to turn their favourite books 2009 into maps; consequently, formal connections among the selected books were made that in turn resulted in a giant 16-piece collective map. Working with the format of the newspaper, every student was given one sheet. The inside spread was used for the individual maps, the cover for the part of the collective map showing the chosen book. The back gave information about the book and allowed students to explain their interpretation.

Key and Kitchen. the Essentials of a Post-Graduate Design Education
Project by: ArtEZ Institute of the arts

Image caption: A photograph taken in 1998 shows walls of the Werkplaats Typografie painted white and entirely clean except for the odd graphic interjection such as an isolated poster or a series of black elastic bands hung on hooks. Twelve years later, the same surfaces are dense with marks, both accidental and deliberate. Inscriptions made at the outset have been absorbed or obliterated by subsequent accretions.
Concentrating on details, this series of photographs raise questions about the provenance of particular stains. Each one tells a story. The phrase is˜if these walls had ears”, but in the case of the WT, the generations of students have given their walls a graphic voice.Project by: ArtEZ Institute of the arts

A Supplement. A project by Eva Schippers
Project by: Dutch Art Institute Enschede / DAI, CasCo
Designer: Lu Liang
Format: 170 x 245 mm
Year: 2010
Price: € 7,00
This publication was conceived as a supplement to the forgotten life of Eva Schippers, showing the parts of an artistic practise that are seldom exposed; failures, unfinished ideas, stolen sentences, unwritten stories. These fragments are collected and spread over five posters in chronological order; starting with the most recent finds and then going back in time untill 1997, the year when I started collecting to remember. It consists of approximately 480 images. Images to be remembered, reused and appropriated. With the contribution of the writer Maria Barnas, reflecting upon the affect of collecting and archiving, the Black and Blues is the first supplement. It is a transient attempt to display a complete collection of ideas and a practise that is always in motion, by marking this moment.
The Publications Project is a collection of artist books issued by the Dutch Art Institute and designed in collaboration with the Werkplaats Typografie.
