    Willem Sandberg, Portret van een Kunstenaar

    Project by: Valiz, Ank Leeuw-Marcar

    Designer: Louis Lüthi

    Pages: 356

    Format: 110 x 180 mm

    Price: € 30,00

    This book is based on interviews with Willem Sandberg, influential director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam from 1945 until 1962. Sandberg had outspoken ideas about the meaning of modern art, the cooperation with artists and his work as a typographer. It gives an interesting overview of the cultural and social environments of that era. Sandberg’s opinions and anecdotes are still provocative and lively.
    The book includes previously unpublished new year’s wishes designed by Sandberg himself. The publication is a cooperation between publisher Valiz Amsterdam, Veenman printers Rotterdam and Werkplaats Typografie Arnhem.

  • Michel Foucault Letters Michel Foucault Letters

    Michel Foucault Letters

    Project by: DAI / Dutch Art Institute

    Designer: Jeremy Jansen

    Format: 220 x 154 mm mm

    Price: € 5,00

    Michel Foucault Letters documents artist Kevin Immanuel’s ongoing project archiving the supposed correspondence between the famous philosopher and a number of galleries and art institutions throughout Europe, North America, and China. The letters were, in fact, written by Immanuel himself, both as a literalization of Foucault’s emphasis on the importance of cultivating an "ironic stance" toward one’s present situation–in Immanuel’s case, the crisis of being a young artist trying to strike up a meaningful discourse with art institutions–and as a poignant critique of the relationship between art institutions and their patrons.
    Each letter contains a polite request to become a member of the institution, offers a monetary donation, and actively attempts to initiate a critical dialogue with the institution about its programming and exhibitions. According to Immanuel, the only part of the letters that the institutions responded to were those pertaining to fiscal contribution, proving that the archetypal art institution is both unwilling and incapable of becoming part of a different discourse, even with figures of such cultural significance as Michel Foucault.
    Includes an essay by Vesna Madzoski and "A Discursive Letter written to Michel Foucault" by Kevin Immanuel.

    Pages: 16

    Format: 160 x 210 mm mm

    Price: € 14,00

    A set of 2 booklets: Marina + Buba. Buba Cvoric and Marina Tomic were born in Serbia 1980 and 1982, and are a collaborative artist team performing actively since 2005. Their performances present an exploration and study of a collective identity, intimacy and behaviour within mutual experience. In most of the works they strive to reveal and understand a marginal and subconscious nature of the collective mind.
    These booklets are part of a growing collection of artists publications issued by the Dutch Art Institute (DAI) produced in collaboration with the Werkplaats Typografie and edited by artist/ curator Delphine Bedel. The 2009 edition consists of 15 publications by different artists, varying from printed matter, book and artist edition to performance artefact. For each project, the artist teamed up with a graphic designer from Werkplaats Typografie, and invited a guest author to contribute. Over the period of one year, various aspects of publishing- concept, editing and design, production and distribution – were addressed, while the artists were invited to see the publication process, as a way of generation work or conversation, rather than just representing it.

    Our knowledge about light is based on possible theories, which can differ extreme. The fascination of certain artists towards the content of light can be explained by the complexity of this phenomenon. There are many sides to explore and new insights and ideas to approach this subject. The subject of light and the object of light are constantly nourished, what keeps light an vivid and contemporary subject. Suzanne’s interest lies in perception – how we see and how we perceive – most importantly on an individual and subjective level.

    "To imagine the draaiorgel and the modern CBD as a mismatched couple is easy. What is perhaps less easy to imagine is the actual scenario – passers by dressed in suits, commuter traffic/yuppies on their way to half-empty buildings. In their midst stands Zefi cranking a cast-iron wheel that produces strange long tones, intersected by shorter tones. Sound devoid of true musicality, perhaps something more like sonic shapes, thrown back at the architectural shapes from which they were derived – archaic and primitive."

    Shortly after Sultan Said bin Taimur was deposed in a bloodless coup (1970) by his son Qaboos bin Said, ex-Magnum photographer Bruno Barbey was send to Oman to catch the change on film. At that time, war was expected, but nothing happened. 30 years later re-discovered by a Omani businessman, the images were used for this book, made in honor of the Sultan Qaboos. A discussion about the views in ethnographic photography was the starting point for the concept of this book. Dividing the images in two groups: images where the photographer/viewer is the observant and images where the viewer is the object of observation.

    This publication is produced as part of State of ArtEZ 2010 and dedicated to Willem Hillenius, former chairman of the Board of Directors.
    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.

    This publication is a result of Marc Hollenstein’s interest in aspects of translation. Originally from Switzerland, he had to learn a new language when moving to the Netherlands. Even though Dutch is closely related to German, it is still a foreign language for a native German speaker. It could even happen to be more difficult to remember the words, which are the same in both languages, than to learn the new ones. This was the starting point for a collection of common words, that are either written identically or pronounced the same in both languages. With a vocabulary of over 6000 words, the resulting publication also stands as a symbol for the common in the two languages.

    Price: € 8,00

    Thesis project of Dries Wiewauters and part of collected works (supervised by Paul Elliman). Affine Transformations is an attempt to consolidate his views about a frequently overlooked step in the history of typography: the Pantograph. A Pantograph is an instrument that can duplicate plans and drawings to an adjustable scale. For the history of type design this meant that a design no longer had to be manually cut and interpreted by a punchcutter, but could easily be copied to an adjustable scale. The design of this thesis is a play with the standardized academic essay. These cheaply bound, A4 publications are normally typeset in the system-font chosen by the university. This publication is typeset in Timeless, an iteration of the ubiquitous Times. The text is printed on a paper-stock reminiscent of standard copy paper, whilst the images are printed on silk paper. With a pantograph and a red marker the skeleton of the Pantograph was transferred to each individual cover. All the sheets were then shuffled, folded vertically and stapled.

    Ach Ach en owee ach en ojee ach en onee ach geef acht doe mee! is a publication by Amanda Koelman in collaboration with Spinvis is part of the Publications Project, a collection of artist books issued by the Dutch Art Institute and designed in collaboration with the Werkplaats Typografie.

    Amanda Koelman (b. 1985) is an artist whose work emanates from the belief that all humans strive to make sense of the universe around them. As throughout history and geography, people have created fairy tales, fables, fantastic stories, sagas, myths, and religions in order to conceive some sort of understanding of their surroundings. Koelman combines knowledge, ideas and elements from various times and different places in order to provide carnavalesque connections between stories, substances and the collective attribution of meaning. The used imagery and metaphors stem from different parts of the world and are combined by Koelman in a free and loose aesthatic that is nevertheless dense and layered. The work addresses a space beyond the material and rational world; where it enters the realm of hybrid myths and complex magic. The sensual, spontaneous, and emotional aspects of human nature are connected with the notions of birth and death, and everything in between.

    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.

    For a short period, the artist Julio Pastor was allowed to occupy apartment 603 in a building in Delft before it was pulled down. During his time there, he set out to collect any traces he could find of the people who had lived in the apartment before by means of watercolour painting, polaroid and digital photographs. At the end of his stay Julio Pastor left behind all of the work he had produced in the apartment. This publication is the only surviving record of Julio Pastor’s investigation. In the process of creating it, the novelist Pierre Leroux re-signified apartment 603’s human traces by turning evidence into fiction. After Leroux, through the design of the publication, a new perspective on the project was discovered. The booklet brings to life reflections on shared notions of translation in the design process by putting the images of the artist back on the wall and rephotographing them.

    Ray Johnson wrote poetic texts and letters and integrated language and a unique system of cryptic signs into his work. Considered by many the ‘father of Mail Art’, as early as 1953 Johnson began sending highly conceptual images/texts to friends, often encouraging the recipient to ‘add to’ the work, or ‘please send to’ someone else, or ‘return to Ray Johnson’. Forming the ‘New York Correspondence School’ in 1962, Johnson established an enormous network of participants throughout the world — one that remains active even after his death. Between 1963 and 1965, Ray Johnson printed thirteen pages of his book about death with the Pernet Printing Company, 120 Lexington Avenue at 28th Street. His title, which designated the thirteen unbound pages as a book, is A Book about Death, yet also A Boop about Death and A Boom about Death.

    A Book About A Book About Death accompanies the exhibition "Ray Johnson, A Book About Death" held at Kunstverein, Amsterdam, 12/12/09 – 31/01/10.

    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.

    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). As of 2006 the series is supervised by an annually appointed collection editor; for 2011, visual artist Rebecca Sakoun. The 2011 edition consists of 16 publications.
    This artist publication attempts to give shape to a long-lived rumour that has been in circulation for the last hundred years, concerning a copy of the Rijksmuseum building in Amsterdam called the Helix which is located in Maasmechelen, Belgium. This rumour never made it’s way to Amsterdam. The publication consists out of two parts, the first being a script or play inspired by and based on a meeting between two gentlemen who are both connaisseurs of either building. In coffee and fruitcake they meet in a piano showroom across the street from the so-called Copy, where they excavate the relationship established by the existence of this unofficial knowledge. In the three acts of this script laughter is used in a formal sense to surface latent feelings and a complex relationship embedded within this particular history where this history is not fixed but rather a daily practice. The general story line is supported on findings from prior research into five different archives, both in the Netherlands and Belgium, part of which is included in the publication.

Smax #2 documents the outcome of 2010-2011, 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.

    Pages: 36

    Format: 160 x 240 mm mm

    Price: € 7,00

    This publication is an exercise between performance and documentary photography.
    "As a narrative that takes the format of a video projection and a fotonovela (1), Once upon a time… concentrates on the story of Nieding and Hendrikje Wolters, ex-travellers (2) who became notorious in the North of the Netherlands after publishing a book about their own lives, ranging from criminal convictions to evangelic belief (3). With specific attention to performance and documentary practices, a photographic sequence is enveloped within a conversation that attempts to describe what we are seeing in order to problematize what we are not seeing, being facts and fictions equally subjected to speculation. The work is the result of three moments of production. In the first, I work in collaboration with the Wolters on the construction of photographs that document the staging of specific passages in their biography. In a second moment, discarding the use of talking heads or speech bubbles and avoiding moral impositions (often used in fotonovelas) I invite curator Inti Guerrero to enter into a dialogue about the pictures produced. Using the recorded and transcribed version of this conversation as the textual part of the narrative, the third moment of production is further developed with references to theatre scripts, film stills and newspaper reports to the final form of a video projection and a publication."

    First published in 1856, John Ruskin’s "Modern Painters vol.IV: Of Mountain Beauty" reflects on the geology of the Alps i terms of landscape observation and its moral and spiritual influences on those living nearby. The "mountainous mask" list derives from the original Index of that book.

    Note on Pedro A.H. Paixao’s text: The text presented here is the development of a selection of notes written, at first, on the margins of the red drawings series, and after – conserving its informal shape, without reference notes -, as a reflection on affinities to Goncalo Senas use of drawing in his projects. The double ‘||’ within the text means not so much a paragraph division, but a lapse in time, allowing the text to remain as a condensed block, and to exhibit its journal nature, here exempted of places and dates.

    One day magazine (issue 2) Realized during a one day workshop with participant of WT in 2010.
    In April 1987 Jeffrey A. VanderClute wrote "Metal Meltdown needs you!" – in April 2011, a motley crew of graphic design students responded. Metal Meltdown was the title of a metal zine produced in Maryland, USA, by Jeffrey A. VanderClute. Aside from merely being a strange and quirky piece of graphic design, Metal Meltdown was taken very seriously by its original author-editor, who when in zine-writing mode summoned his alter-ego, the sick and twisted KLUKE, to write reviews and spread the sound, smell and word of metal. Mark Simmonds discovered Volume I of Metal Meltdown at a New York zine stall in late 2010 and organised a gathering to coincide with the 24th anniversary of Volume I of Metal Meltdown, set in the basement of the Werkplaats Typografie. The aim of this memorable night was simple – to attempt to answer Jeffrey’s request for contributions. Although 24 years late, these new contributions were sent to the P.O. BOX address mentioned in the magazine. Surprisingly enough, the KLUKE replied: "You had a 24th anniversary party for METAL MELTDOWN and you forgot to invite the eDICKtor-in-chief?!".

Starting from a series of nearly identical elements, it’s only the way we play them that provides a different result for each game.

The chapters can be read separately, as they have been conceived to be independent wholes, forming biographies that present portraits of associations rather than particular statements about individual lives. The text, however, is constructed to alternate rhythmically between the main motives. The motives in turn produce variations on particular themes as they modulate into different parts within the totality of the work as a whole. Mindgames was conceived as a way to enjoy information in the tradition of autodidacts of the past – but in a style which is commingled with a reverence towards traditional modes of archiving the world. The author will give a talk about the ideas behind the work and selected chapters will be read.

    Jesus, Make up and Football by Belgian photographer Frederik Buyckx is all about the favelas, or slums, of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. His photographs provide a haunting glimpse into the lives of the favela residents and what matters to the most: Jesus, make up and football.
    Buyckx rented a pied-à-terre for a few months in a favela and shared the inhabitants’ daily vicissitudes. A fifth of Rio’s six million inhabitants live in favelas: self-built, improvised populous neighbourhoods in which life can be rough. With the World Cup coming to Rio in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, the city is determined to show itself to its best advantage. The government is using the opportunity to clean up the slums and flush out the drug gangs.
    The book is published by Lannoo (Belgium) and won several awards, including a World Press Photo Award in 2013. In 2017 Frederik was named ‘Photographer of the Year’ at the Sony World Photography Awards. His work has been published in National Geographic Magazine (NL), The New York Times Newspaper/Style Magazine (USA), The Sunday Times Magazine(UK), CNN Photo Blog (USA) and De Standaard (BE) among others.

    Project by: Dutch Art Institute

    Designer: Hans Gremmen

    Pages: 250

    Format: 153 x 213 mm mm

    Price: € 15,00

    This work is a sound piece pressed onto 10” vinyl with an accompanying booklet. It is a construction of interwoven interview fragments in which three people recount transcending their ordinary perception of reality. Each of their accounts are laced with wavering perceptions, volatile realities, doubt, and an underlying quest for “truth.” The assemblage relates a fantastical and disturbing tale of esoteric and shamanic rituals, of training schools and occupation, of psychological and bodily accounts, treading a tenuous line between desire and turmoil. It poses the zealous nature of group and individual desire, and its potential to dominate and compel. While the transcription of the sound piece, printed in the booklet, reads as a stream of consciousness —it’s riddled with stutters and the three voices are indistinguishable from one another, there’s no punctuation and sentences potentially start, end or lapse at multiple points—the construction of the work is laid bare when the sound piece is listened to.

    Rui’s short story is about two speechless characters caught in the curse of love. The uncertain moment, in which they are trapped, will be followed up, questioned and answered by the collaborators. Each contribution is a reaction to Rui’s short story and approaches diverse aspects concerning love and restraint. Performative and cinematic, literary and philosophical as well as phenomenological analyses come into play. Using strategies of collaboration in an artistic context, the book turns into a multifaceted investigation. Vivien Trommer.

    Artist books – The Dutch Art Institute is one of the master programmes of the ArtEZ institute of the Arts. The DAI is a practice based research institute but grants theory, knowledge production and reflection an important, shared position within the curriculum. Students at DAI participate in the discourses on the future of art in the context of a globalizing world. Because of the international student body DAI does not work with compelling formats, but instead folds thematic seminars and conferences and lectures in a flexible way around running projects. Since 2004 WT and DAI cooperate in editing, designing and producing the yearly graduation booklets for DAI.

    This publication of the Mondrian Lecture of Charles Jencks is the first in a series of publications by the Sikkens Foundation

    This pocket-sized publication of the Mondrian Lecture given by Charles Jencks reprints his talk in full, along with various images. Jencks discusses the possibility that architecture and well-being can have a direct correlation, exploring how architecture can influence society, business productivity, profits and hospitals. He elaborates with examples of architectural determinism from both ancient and modern history, with a special focus on his experience with the Maggie’s Centres – cancer care centres set up throughout Britain by Jencks and designed by famous architects – whose purpose is to experiment with these ideas.

    In December 2011 Stefano and Eva worked together on an exhibition in a small artist-run space in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The exhibition was called At the end of the world I exist and consisted of two diverse installations. The work on display was mirroring an ongoing discourse about traveling, distance and the transportive potentialities of the image starting from each our interests – respectively photography and architecture. Six months later, they organized an event at Schloss Ringenberg, Germany. During the night the work took the form of two presentations and a book, in order to broaden the performative side of the installation presented before and to transport the previous space into the new room, the Rittersaal. The presentations and the book touch, amongst other things, upon a postcard from Tenerife and the portrait of Emily Dickinson, respectively the features of the two specific exhibition spaces and the furniture that inhabits them. Artist and writer Miek Zwamborn was invited to write a contribution to the book as a third link. The sentence At the end of the world I exist was used as a point of departure point for a short story titled Legacies of the moon.

    Several stories around an inn with a historical background connected to the Portuguese regime. The history of the space has this paradox of being a manifesto against architecture of its time and at the same time it becomes a symbol of the regime. Departing from a very concrete prove (the building) and a very subjective experience (ones relation with the space) a fiction was created around a history that the writer did not experience.

    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 publication by Padraig Robinson and Daniel Frota was made in context of Publishing Class III: How to Live together, DAI. This publication was devised in the model of a conversation in collaboration with designer Daniel Frota, where the act of writing was used to explore the “idiorrhythmic” nature of the discourse around images.The starting point was an image published on The Guardian’s website on Monday 18th February 2013, which is an Instagram image said to be depicting a Palestinian boy in the cross hairs of an Israeli sniper’s rifle zoom. The distinct texts between artist and designer perhaps suggested that the nature of such pictures in general, even those that could be considered “political” at a given moment, have a very unusual condition within the online, digital circulation of social networking. The writing created a problematic regarding the agency of vision, based on an "ethical reaction" for an other we will never meet via image media. This is discussed, and indeed averted, through two individual perspectives — or a fragment of writing about vision.

    Class Breaks was made in close collaboration with the artist Maja Hodoscek’s sister Zala who at the time of the book’s development was just finishing elementary school. For several months Zala secretly filmed activities at her school during class breaks. She was especially interested in shooting her closest classmates, Nik and Urh, and engaging in a series of discussions throughout the school. The book consists of fragments from these conversations. As the students touch upon political issues, their own position within institutional structures, and their relationships, Class Breaks provides stimulating insight into the social dynamics of the school environment.

    How to Live Together series, the third edition of Publishing Class, focuses on writing and publishing as a speculative tool and as a conduit through which communities are fostered. Over the course of a year the class sets out to ‘publish’ individually and / or collectively, with the aid of monthly guests. It is inspired by Roland Barthes’ seminal 1977 lecture series that bears the same title. In that series Barthes developed the concept of ‘idiorrythmy’ to express a possible way of living together that preserved individual rhythms. Special guests to the class include: Hong-Kai Wang, Tea Hvala, Christian Nyampeta, Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri (16 Beaver), Pieter Verbeke & Elisabeth Klement (San Serriffe), Benjamin Thorel (castillo/corrales)

    Format: 160 x 230 mm mm

    Price: € 31,00

    Art at Large is a compilation of essays by art historian Marga van Mechelen. It explores the characteristics of Performance and Installation art, emerging forms of art in the early seventies which defied the notions and boundaries of medium-based approaches to contemporary art. In the essays special attention is paid to the intertwinement of different fields and to the mixing of disciplines. In this sense Performance art and Installation art today can be seen as perfect representatives of current developments in Postmodern art and the confirmation of the idea of an art at large.

    Between 1967 and 1990, freelance photographer Reinhard Mende was commissioned by various GDR combines to document factories and the presentation of their manufactured products at the International Trade Fair in Leipzig. He portrayed women at their workbenches, he took shots of lamps, vacuum cleaners and kitchen appliances. The approximately 250,000 pictures in his archive – both in black and white and colour – offer a rare look at the factories and the people who produced all these commodities. Although the perspective was directed by official ideals, Mende followed his own view. Double Bound Economies explores how we might approach this unique body of images today: how we can access them, how we can derive historical insights from them, and for what considerations they might represent a starting point. Along with a number of essays the book includes artistic contributions by Armin Linke, Olaf Nicolai and KP Brehmer.

    The Fantasy is the culmination of a period of research into tensions within the dilapidated Dutch city of Almere, and its failure to realize an architectural plan to become a utopian haven. The book takes the form of both travelogue and timeless voyage. Three characters, based on the city’s actual residents, share accounts of a fictional trip that traces a route based on small irregularities, curiosities and almost invisible details that were uncovered while wandering through the city. The Fantasy is a work of fiction, which, in merging social, political, and urban investigation with street observation, emphasizes how daily urban situations and invisible street practitioners define geopolitical conditions. This book belongs to the Publishing Class Collection How to Live Together Series published by CasCo Art Institute, Utrecht.

    The South Highway is a gamebook. Part story, part game, this is a book with a difference –one in which you become the protagonist. The narrative changes according to your decisions on which path to follow, the actions to carry out, and the answers to give to other characters. It is you who interacts with the others inside the book, and thus are responsible for the protagonist’s vicissitudes. You will need all your wits about you to go through the unexpected that lies ahead. Apparently trivial situations can lead some time later to a serious outcome in which your own life can be at stake. Thus, choose your actions carefully!

    The Finding & Raising of Anchors of Barges and Steamers plays with forms of content structuring and editing, based on research into knowledge management systems and Wikis. The book is made up of documentation of Quenton Miller’s artworks presented next to manipulated republished texts interspersed with annotations and footnotes. The design of the project involved implementing an updated idea of medieval rubrication, which sits on top of and along side the body text, spot printed in Pantone Green.

    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.

    The first issue in the series TRANSLATION IN THE DARK features the first and only translation from Amharic into English of selections of Ethiopian novelist Abe Gubegna’s seminal novel “I Won’t Be Born” (1962). Part 1 also proudly features a new translation (Amharic into English) of poetry by contemporary Ethiopian artist and poet Mihret Kebede. As a series, TRANSLATION IN THE DARK embarks on a mission to employ unorthodox translation methods with the intention of honoring the misunderstandings, mishearings, missed translations, and misinterpretations that multiply and deepen meaning. As a fundamental part of this aim, the series offers a method for the redistribution of roles of author, translator, publisher, editor and reader.

    The Fox issue 5 is loosely a continuation of the 1970’s journal The Fox produced by the artist’s collective Art & Language. However, this regenerated version deviates from the concerns of the past publication by holding a closer link to the natural world, particularly the urban fox as a medium through which to explore attitudes towards the city, culture, nature, architecture and design. The publication exists as a daily newspaper reporting a walk in Berkerly Square — the 19th of July, from 19:32 until 10:58 PM — using a camera and a portable scanner. This extended report on a very short time span explores the relation between images and our surroundings focusing on the present moment, questionning the role of mass media and news.

    Yetta Bronstein, as a 48-year-old house-wife from the Bronx, ran for President in 1964 and again in 1968 as the candidate for the Best Party. Her slogans were “Vote for Yetta and things will get betta” and “Put a mother in the White House.” The publication houses an interview with Alan Abel (1930), the man behind all these characters including creator of Yetta. Alan was an American prankster, writer and filmmaker who frequently appeared on television, radio and newspapers with his scandalous and provoking undertakings. During the interview the discussion seamlessly flows from one prank to another, from one juicy detail to the next. Along the way his relationship to theatre and the media are discussed, as well as his approach to work.

    This first issue in a serial publication is inspired by a house located in the coastal town of La Marsa near Tunis. Taking the house’s close proximity to a gallery and a bookstore as a starting point for thinking through the book’s structure, the place quickly became both a literal and metaphorical character. The house is interesting not only in a historical sense, or for of the role it plays within the community, but due to its strong position as a host and the politics of hospitality it supports.

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.

Christof Nüssli and Christoph Oeschger juxtapose the text produced by the state and the images produced by the monitored person. The collage of these sources produces new images that reveal the history of a politically agitated time in Switzerland. The montage brings the conflict between Rózsa’s images and the State Security texts to light. Observation and surveillance encounter one another.

    Flamin’ Stars is a collaborative sound work by artist and writer Sarah Jones, sound producer Julika, and designer Ivan Martinez. The hour-long narrative piece, reminiscent of a radio drama, is based on a series of short, poetic texts developed during a residency period in Texas in 2013. Flamin’ Stars readdresses
    notions in a contemporary context through a personal engagement with landscape and movement by three artists from different backgrounds. The work travels through, along, and at times ruptures contemporary dialogue around border landscapes, race, movement and environment. It hopes to go beyond the written and the spoken, into and then somehow beyond the specific context of the West Texas desert landscape.

    The view of translation as a second-rate, derivative form of writing, seems to prevail in Western discourse on the subject since sometime around the 17th century. The lowly status of translation is reflected in standard book publishing practices and in modern copyright law. It is perhaps because of our desire to think of the translations as a trancparency, a clear window through which we see the meaning of the original, that we lose sight of the obvious impossibility of one-to-one correspondence and take for granted the presence of the translator and the choices and praxis involved in the task (Matvei Yankelevich).

    Compilation of notes and introductions written by translators on different attitudes towards the level of transparency and authorship of their mediation, as well as the inescapable trade-off they have to face between form and meaning. Fifteen contributors dealing with analogous concerns in their practices, selected pages from their personal libraries, present in the book as facsimile versions.

    The Wake of Dust by photographer Thomas Hauser and designer Fred Cave is a study of memory and the way this is preserved, archived, or can be reconstructed. When Thomas Hauser’s grandmother passed away in 2010 he gained access to his family archives of letters, photographs, and objects that were unknown to him until then. Wishing to make his own visual version of a family narrative the family photo archive was decomposed and constructed into a mysterious series of images. Cave and Hauser repeat, montage, manipulate, and sequence the sources showing a new story. Some portraits appear multiple times, in different edits or crops creating resonances and echoes. The overprinting of the black and white images and its grainy outcome gives layers of uncertainty, creating ghost-like effects and transient connections.

In the next 24 hours he quickly learns how individual actions have a virulent and lasting power.

    “Fully submerged in the damp earth, I was deprived of visual sensation… Perhaps due to the mesmerising emptiness of the black void or else the lack of oxygen, my eyes soon made images of their own. Pulsating wires entangled before me and emitted an eerie green glow before surging brightly then fizzling away like fireworks. This combination of oscillating blotches and meandering lines crept from the corners of my vision like the growing outlines of a nervous system…”
    Mechanical System Drawings Vol. 2 brings together a collection of drawings by Mathew Kneebone whose practice encompasses writing, performance, sculptural installation and drawings. As a child, Mathew’s sister was struck by lightning during a family trip, an event which could have triggered the corpus of work Mathew is working on to this day.

    Mass employment inside personal identity encryption, computer face recognition and demographic marketing industries has given rise to a society of individuals frozen in emotional responses. Trapped inside a population riddled with autistic spectrum and dementia-like symptoms this dark tale tracks an unusual encounter between a man and woman trying to preserve the final strands of their own emotional interiors and hoping to trigger human empathetic responses needed for human survival inside a robotic vacuum of state surveillance and personal identity destruction.

    Price: € 25,00

    Onze huidige muziekcultuur is diverser dan ooit. Zij biedt de aanblik van een duizelingwekkend auditief panorama dat zich uitstrekt tot ver voorbij de individuele horizon. Stel: je zou dankzij de uitzoomfunctie van een Google Earth-achtige app dat onmetelijke klanklandschap in zijn geheel kunnen beluisteren – wat zou je horen? Dat moet een oorverdovende kakofonie zijn waarin alle denkbare muzikale talen, mengtalen, dialecten en subdialecten dwars door elkaar heen razen. In ‘Componisten van Babel’ onderzoekt Joep Christenhusz hoe die Babylonische diversiteit doorwerkt in de manier waarop wij ons vandaag de dag tot muziek verhouden. Aan de hand van tien essays toont hij hoe de hybride 21e-eeuwse ervaringswijze een klinkend beslag krijgt in het werk van evenzoveel componerende generatiegenoten uit Nederland en Vlaanderen.

Reader, aantekeningen exemplaar brings together these contributions made to the Speelplaats program alongside other like-minded initiatives by participants, guests and tutors in the shape of examples as well as reference texts and other materials. The reader borrows its title from an annotated copy of the catalogue Ruimtelijk Werk (1983), found in the library of Werkplaats Typografie, in which Wigger Bierma had penciled down what could have been done more consistently or what was lacking in his original design.

    Shelf Life is a special publication with thoughts and texts and images by Jin Kwang Kim (and Paul Elliman). Jin’s work falls between a twin interest in spirituality, which can refer to the search for meaning in present life, and spiritualism, which often refers to a communication with a non- living spirit world from the past or the future. Both terms are formed by the word spirit, which itself derives from Latin spiritus “breath”, and therefore usually relates to non-physical substance in contrast with material things or the corporeal body. In this publication Jin follows his interest in language and graphic design as something that exists in both material forms and as part of a more ethereal or metaphysical spirit of life.

    The structure of the book is turned inside out: beginning and end are placed next to each other in the middle of the book. This situation allowed to insert pages between the title page and the colophon that, however, remain outside of the narrative. It’s a paradoxical space that is created, physically part of the book but logically external to it.

    In diesem Buch geht es um Tiere, die der Mensch zu Kriegsteilnehmern gemacht hat. Die militärische Nutzung von Tieren spielt seit Anbeginn der Kriegsgeschichte eine entscheidende Rolle. Tiere sind ständige Wegbegleiter, jedoch keineswegs ebenbürtige Partner der Menschen. 32 erstaunliche, skurrile und bizarre Tiersoldaten dieses Buches zeigen, dass der Mensch keine Grenzen kennt, wenn es darum geht, sich gegenüber dem Feind einen Vorteil zu verschaffen. Woher kommt die Selbstsicherheit, mit der der Mensch sich die Fähigkeiten der Tiere zunutze macht ? Welche Konsequenzen hat das für Mensch und Tier, und wie und warum gerät der Vormachtsglaube der Menschen gerade zu Kriegszeiten ins Wanken?

The sun makes this all visible, even though in the image the sun is only a white spot where the pixels are burned out.

    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.”

    Eigengrau  2015 – 2017, an ongoing study of the positive afterimage and its effects.
    The phenomenon of the positive afterimage is created when a person, standing in dark room, experiences a sudden and short flash of light. This results in a ‘positive’ afterimage of whatever the person was looking at at the time the flash went off. This image is ephemeral in the sense that it dissipates within seconds of being created but at the same it creates a memory, we can relive that image only in our minds. Every afterimage is unique and can’t be captured by any form or technique we have available at the time. Studying this afterimage therefore becomes an exercise in studying its effects, its lingering traces on the people that experienced them.

With a pinhole camera as a reflection-instrument she went for walks in natural environments where human presence is minimal so she could take the time and open her senses. This viewing and photographing experience caused a contemplative effect, which she tries to convey in this book.

    Price: € 24,00

    “Ellipsis after Closure” is a 2020 Werkplaats Typografie End of the Year Show in book form by Nicha Keeratiphanthawong and Tabea Nixdorff, with mended hole contributions submitted by participants who took part in hole mending meditation workshops in 2020.

    Following endless digital threads of information and being in constant touch with ‘hardware,’ it is easy to forget one’s bodily presence and situatedness. Weavings, just like computer coding, are complex automated nettings. Only the point of rupture—a dropped stitch, like a bug in the code, a systemic error—redirects the attention outside of the machine by requesting a manual intervention.

    The book is printed with white ink on black paper, and stitched on a Singer sewing machine.

    A mark in time, grabbed from the ever-changing constant
    A movement from observation to attraction
    A want to collect – not to own an entirety, but to accentuate the parts
    An attempt at molding the infinite
    A crystallization of clicks

    ¶#0 consists solely of texts and images found on the online collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia. This publication, which is the first in the series, has many authors and we’d like to thank every one of them. It is assembled by Jan-Pieter ‘t Hart, designed by Tjobo Kho and published by outline.jetzt. It is riso-printed in an edition of 150. ¶#0 was made in May 2020.

    ‘Nobody Remembers a Shapeshifter’ is simultaneously the title of a fashion show, the password to enter the show’s venue, and the title of this book. The fashion show that lacked a fashion collection served as an exhibition context for the participants of the Werkplaats Typografie. Each participant contributed to the expanded format of the fashion show, creating work that existed specifically within the support structure: from online platforms to wayfinding on the street, from coordinated services to spatial interventions, from the ferry dock to the catwalk.

    This publication is an extension of the show, a premeditated afterthought expanding on the collective gesture and individual efforts of Andrea Salerno, Austin Redman, Darío Dezfuli, Frédérique Gagnon, Gerardo Madera, Hannah Sakai, Jannete Mark, Loes Claessens, Maria Smit, Mariana Lobão, Michelle Lin, Michiel Terpelle, Mirjam Reili, Miron Galić, Moriz Oberberger, Nicha Keeratiphanthawong, Rebecca Metzger, Sangah Shin, Sarah Cleeremans, Simona Koutná, Susan van Veen and Tabea Nixdorff. Written review by Constant Dullaart.

    Six years in the making, BLOOD is the first comprehensive English translation of the poems of Danish art historian, communist activist and writer R. Broby-Johansen. Translated, edited and designed by Line-Gry Hørup, Broby-Johansen’s poems are accompanied by a series of full colour photographs by Amsterdam photographer Johannes Schwartz, which document the pair’s trip to Brody-Johansen’s recently established archive. So recent, that they were in fact the first to view it. BLOOD is published by Kunstverein Publishing and made possible with the support of Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie and the Danish Arts Foundation.

    Format: 420 x 594 mm mm

    Price: € 20,00

    An eternal love triangle is a undefined polygon between the emotional location of the Sauna, the Attic and the Basement in the WT building. Sauna is known for her self-conscious misty beauty reflecting weekly on a white surface of hot pixels. Above the kitchen the ghosted mystical Attic resides and senses the passing of time on a frequency of 91FM hoping it to reach Sauna to confess her everlasting love. Sadly they have never met since Sauna already had her own sound. Attic makes the attempt to meet with Sauna in the Basement to finally expose him love and show Sauna what she always missed. A poly amore.

This process gives the paper a unique surface. If you would like to experience the tooth of WT Papier, you can also order this paper dummy. Our paper dummies are perfect bound with cold glue or stapled, and contain print samples that demonstrate the unique properties of the paper in use. WT Papier dummies can only be ordered by format (A5, A4, A4+).

    Willem Sandberg. Portrait of an Artist

    Project by: Ank Leeuw Marcar, Valiz, Amsterdam, Werkplaats Typografie

    Designer: Rutger de Vries

    Pages: 327

    Format: 151 x 210 mm mm

    Price: € 20,00

    The famous Dutch typographer and museum curator Willem Sandberg is portrayed by art historian Ank Leeuw Marcar through interviews compiled more than 30 years ago. Particularly focusing on the period from 1945-1970, during which Sandberg was quite active and passionate in both typographic forms and as director of Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, this thoroughly edited reprint of the original book closely examines his legacy and influence, its cultural aspects and roles of art historians and curators. His approaches to these topics remain relevant and challenging even today, offering new impulse in the discourse surrounding art and its place in an historic perspective.
