wish i’d thought of this idea, nice… (via fontanel)

50 years opened

here is a brief impression of the opening last sunday of the exhibition ’50 years of posters’ for the dutch national ballet at the dutch poster museum in hoorn

my friends from ‘fontanel’ also posted a short article on the expo yesterday (dutch only) and sorry for the crappy images, due to the spots hanging everywhere it was almost impossible to make a decent image in the building…

dries
really nice idea for a catwalk show: dutch artists ‘gijs frieling’ and ‘job wouters’ were approached by one of my favourites: dries van noten to create the ‘live’ backdrop for the runway for his show this year

they also created prints for fabric… an interview can be found here (dutch only)

12 weeks

my intern ‘joris’ has decided to impose a brief for himself during his internship: ‘create a poster for each week that reflects that week’
as we tend to spend a lot of time listening to electronic music during the daytime, this obviously seems to be playing a large role in his subject matter so far…

i’m looking forward to seeing the complete set progress, have a peak yourself at the latest batch right here, we will be printing the whole series out (large scale) before he leaves ‘me’ at the end of march…

silver

congratulations to the winners of the dutch silver camera awards 2011, it must have been a tough job judging all of this: although the ‘national portrait’ category winner ‘annaleen louwes’ delivered a beautiful prize image ‘dees’; i must say that the striking image ‘jof’ (see above) by talented dutch duo blommers&schumm would have got my winning vote
