The best definition of ugliness has always been that which has the potential of threatening the pure, which makes “the icky” a radical concept. This is a short story about the icky and the sticky.

Vitamin supplements are often sold with an extremely epic quotes to describe the power which the compressed pill contains. By recycling the fictitious and capitalist language taken from real vitamin bottles and reusing them in a powerless office environment, the exaggerated strength can be given back to the fruit – the unsuspecting original vitamin supplier.

Smax is a magazine commissioned by Schloss Ringenberg, an institute that offers Residency Programmes for artists and curators, but also hosts exhibitions and organises events. Smax #3 documents the outcome of 2011-2012, exhibitions, events and theoretical insights. The magazine can be read from both sides, from one side text is in German, the other in Dutch. Content and illustrations however are not repeated within the two parts but rather complement each other. The different color sections help to navigate through the four different categories within the publication. Since there are a lot of cross references within the categories, such as artists in residence are part of an exhibition curated by a curator in residence, a letter / number code is introduced to indicate these collaborations clearly. The result is a layout that avoids translations filling the same page, and gives more space to the illustrations.

The book describes a journey to the most silent place in the Netherlands and it is designed as a musical score.

Although technically a first issue, The Fox #4 is loosely a continuation of the seventies journal of the same name produced by the artists’ collective Art & Language. This regenerated version, edited by Mathew Whittington, deviates from the concerns of the past publication, being more closely aligned with the ‘natural world’ and using the urban fox as a medium with which to explore attitudes towards the city, culture, nature, labour, architecture and design. Contributing Editors: Paul Elliman, Hermione Spriggs.

The series Exercises in Practical Mischievery takes a closer look at notable groups and individuals in the production and implementation of various out of the ordinary forms for the distribution of word and thought. This includes using and manipulating existing media channels but also inventing new tools and methods. How could daily theatre be put to work for our benefit in regard to sharing information in our immediate surrounding? The collection, aspiring to become an encyclopedia of sorts, is intended to serve as a catalyst in thinking of freely accessible tools for the dissemination of thought. In this series we will introduce you to: Jan de Jong, Fritz Rainer, Andy Bichlbaum & Michael Bonanno, Yetta Bronstein and (Mrs) Edna Welthorpe.

The series is edited by Aubrie Savage.

Fritz Rainer (1925, Basel) became a spiritual leader in his mid-twenties guiding people through the trials of life. In 1951 he began preaching on the streets and soon enough his teachings started to attract bigger and bigger crowds. The movement rapidly developed into a cult-like entity with a large group of supporters and followers. Analysts have speculated that the real driving force behind Rainer’s popularity was his unusual not to say bizarre method of deliverance. The method, now taken on by The Rainer Plate creators, incorporated the employment of the material qualities of a CTP printing plate to give speeches all over the country. This included bizarre movements with the plate, a variety of ear-splitting sounds the plate produced, the reflection of it, not to mention the presence of an odd-sized metal sheet that in itself raised a mass furor, which eventually influenced the minds of the crowds, converting them into full-scale Rainerists. The publication walks through Fritz’ life and uncovers some details from his past.

Articulation Convention Toolbook introduces 10 articulation exercises for public servants, who often need to be able to look at different situations from someone else’s perspective, sometimes transforming from one character to another several times a day. The exercises aim at developing several (social) skills, such as as courage, self-control, reaction, the ability to transform and to direct our imagination according to a specific situation. The toolbook is equipped with an introduction essay titled ‘Next Time Next Venue’ that sets the tone for the exercises, as well as other examples that illustrate the techniques. The publication commences with the introduction to Erving Goffman’s ‘The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life’ that gives an indication of how to employ these skills in daily situations and use them to one’s benefit.hobbyists have become attached to amassing rolex swiss richard mille replica noob.superb combination in realism not to mention photograph essentials certainly is the manifestation of best replica watches.more than forty years are swiss phyrevape.com leader.swiss grade https://replicabreguet.com/.select gsfactoryrolex.com and buy it directly on our official online store.there is the best burberry.to with top quality.go to my blog are the perfect mix between italian design and swiss technology at the service of the passion for the sea.

“Best Books” is the subject of an annual workshop at Werkplaats Typografie, Arnhem. “Best Book, Don’t Care or, Poor Form from Fringe Areas” resulted from the 2013 workshop led by Sophie Nys in collaboration with the participants of Year 13 and Year 14.

From colonial history to ecology, and from public space to colouring outside the lines: each Karbon Arnhem File publication highlights a particular issue. In the process, artists, writers, researchers, activists, collectives, designers, and many others work closely with the Editorial team. This results in a cacophony of voices asking critical questions about our daily reality. Karbon Arnhem Files is inspired by ruangrupa’s own Karbon magazine, and brings together experimental art and design practices. The whole series consists of six publications and is also available in our shop.

In this photobook, Anneke D’Hollander investigated the interior of an apartment that seems inhabited by the phantom presence of its dweller.
By abstracting the look book format, this publication documents the traces of a remote connection between the kingdom of virtual reality and a domestic landscape. It shows the so-called “SlothLife” lifestyle in an intriguing, yet confronting way.

“…someone who is living the SlothLife went through many years of fine-tuning the art of doing absolutely nothing, even though it appears shit’s getting done. A senior sloth has very minimal care and kicks back by spending life for what very little they feel like doing. Once you’re living the sloth life, all you need to worry about is where your next meal comes from, and who’s bringing it to you.”

Each year Werkplaats Typografie organises its own Best Book selection. Every participant chooses a book that is important for him in that year. The project is supervised by a guest tutor. This year artist Joëlle Tuerlinckx directed a series of acts in which the participants became their most significant book.
Beginning in the Werkplaats Typografie library, the ensemble relocated to Netwerk Art Center, Aalst in Belgium, gradually utilising costume, props, light and sound to create a theatre of the best books. Despite being amateur thespians, the theatre was a serious attempt to assume a character based on the interpretation of a book. Perhaps one can be lead to a new reading of each significant book, an experience that is both insightful and bewildering.

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. DAI and WT, both loacated in Arnhem are Master’s programs of ArtEZ, one of the major arts universities (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten) in the Netherlands. Gabriëlle Schleijpen , head of program at the DAI, founded DAI PUBLICATIONS in 2003. It began as an experimental and innnovative research and publishing platform aiming to address the specific process of arts books production, it is now an acclaimed editorial project. Since its inception more then 90 artist books have been published. As of 2006 the series is supervised by an annually appointed collection editor; for 2011, visual artist Rebecca Sakoun.

DAI publication Lado Darakhvelidze. This artist publication presents the idea of artists as ideal media makers. By showing artworks about political and social conflicts, museums and biennals provide access to information which is usually not disclosed in mass media. Museum TV Station promotes the idea of art spaces as ideal media stations, providing open access to information which is usually not disclosed in mass media. For the publication we invited ten artists (Lidwien van de Ven, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Haejun Jo a.o.) to present an exemplary art project which took a stand on political, economic and social issues. Following the logic of the title, I designed an alternative TV guide by pasting the new material over an existing issue of the publication TVFilm.

This publication was produced on the occasion of the Last Zürich Zine Sezession by HAHA. Printed with Risograph and Xerox, spiral bound.
