There was an empty room in the back of the Werkplaats Typografie. One day, that void has been pushed out of the two doors. In 2012 eighteen people had to find that space somewhere else. During six separate excursions, throughout Arnhem and the Netherlands, they explored the potentialities of the destruction and construction of new lands. They searched for the room that they had lost, or for the conditions and materials with which to rebuild it, and in doing so began to expand the walls of the school along a whole new set of trajectories and possibilities. Cosmic Mental Therapy is a guide for escape from sovereignty and a manual for creating new trajectories.
It consists of a collection of texts that were gathered through Year 12 and Year 13 WT participants. Contributions from Stefano Faoro, Ine Meganck, Corina Neuenschwander, Mark Simmonds, Rutger de Vries, Noah Venezia and Manuel Zenner.

This is a publication with the Artist Patricia Sousa. The booklet is a space of expression of the norm of the passport pictures and regulations. The grid is the norm and the type evolves through the book in order to fill in the space of the spread, as the face should fill in the space of the photography. The 300 copies, like the passports, present a common state, personnalized by the hand glued colored pictures. With Texts by Sophie Nield and Raqs Media Collective.

DAI PUBLICATIONS is a collection of artist’s books issued by the Dutch Art Institute (DAI) and designed in collaboration with the Werkplaats Typografie (WT). The 2011 edition consists of 16 publications. In close collaboration with one or more guest authors, artists team up with designers to produce an artwork in the form of printed matter. From very diverse perspectives they reflect on publishing as a versatile medium.
