We've had a great time at the opening of the Don't Believe The Type exhibition in The Hague. Lots of friendly people, cool lectures and cold beers! It almost felt like Brabant.
On the 6th of November we will be joining the Ship Of Fools with
the Don't Believe the Type exhibition. Find out everything you want
to know about this great event on their exciting website.

graphic design in a context
An exhibition of posters promoting exhibitions and events. Similar content and purpose with very different end results; the what, when and where delivered through different modes and processes.
On Friday the 6th of november the Ship of Fools gallery organizes the 'Don't believe the type' symposium. It will be a day with an inspiring mix of workshops, lectures and the exhibition with the work of internationally known artist and designers.

Preview of our work for the Hier en Daar exhibition at MU,
Eindhoven. We've created a lifesize tree made out of 11.000 foam
'pixels'. Made with the much appreciated help from Robin Nas and
Lambert Hendriks! And also thanks to the people of MU.
It was a pleasant suprise to see our name on the floor of the
Graphic Design Museum in Breda. It is part of the Dutch Design
Database exhibition.
A psychedelic print with sound effects, an analogue TV animation, a carousel full of images, an architectural dream, typographical reflections and a painted-over short-fronted farmhouse. A random sample of what will be on view this summer during the exhibition HIER&DAAR. At the invitation of MU and KOP, 20 promising artists and designers from Breda and Eindhoven, all born after 1970, show new work in two groups both in Eindhoven and in Breda. Brabant-wide, so to say.There is between MU and KOP a feeling of kinship that expresses itself in the hybrid way in which they perceive the art world. The motto is: quality in imagination, diversity in media and disciplines, and an open collaboration with promising young artists. There is absolutely no curatorial straitjacket. HIER&DAAR encourages artists to achieve on a modest working budget a professional presentation in the two most exciting art spaces of Brabant. HIER&DAAR also represents the first step of two medium-sized art institutes in making an initial open-collaboration contribution to the Brabant ambitions to become Cultural Capital of Europe in 2018. In the coming years, it will be easy for other parties from the various BrabantSteden (BrabantCities) to link up with this initiative and in a few triple jumps present a sample of the rich cultural humus of the provinces in the Southern Netherlands.
