Emil Schult: Die kosmische Komponente und guter Rat
Die elektronische Musik und die Kunst haben in der Zeit vom Nachkrieg bis heute eine Tür in eine neue Welt geöffnet, so Schult, durch die wir „vielleicht eine Chance für die Zukunft haben“, und, da ist er optimistisch, „das sieht sehr gut aus“. Das sei wie eine Wurzel, eine „Root“ oder ein Samenkorn, das sich 3D-mäßig entwickelt habe.
Boris Brumnjak: (Typografische) Schwarz-Weiß-Plakate
Boris Brumnjak sammelt seit 15 Jahren leidenschaftlich gerne Schwarz-weiss-Plakate – hat er sich in eines verliebt, tut er alles dafür um es in seine Sammlung aufzunehmen.
Sascha Lobe: From ABC to CD
Sascha Lobe, Gründer und Kopf des Kreativstudios L2M3 und Dozent an der HfG Offenbach mit Studienschwerpunkt Typografie sprach heute Mittag über seine Arbeit an der neuen visuellen Identität des Bauhaus-Archives Berlin.
Katarzyna Matul: Die Polnische Schule der Plakatkunst
Katarzyna Matul spricht über die Sozialistische Ära Polen und der Polnischen Plakatbewegung bis 1989, die geprägt war von handgemachten Plakaten, gemalten Schriften, Kollagen und Drucken. Die Stars Henryk Tomaszewski, Tadeusz Trepkowski, Jan Lenica erlangten in den Nachkriegsjahren internationales Ansehen und bestimmten bis 1989 das polnische Grafik Design.
Sarah Illenberger: Playtime
Let me start by saying: Sarah Illenberger is a true source of inspiration. She not only strives to be a generalist by combining the art of illustration, graphic design and photography, but also constantly challenges herself in terms of materials and methods.
6 Fragen an … Boris Brumnjak
Boris Brumnjak ist Sammler, Dozent, Grafikdesigner und Geschäftsführer einer Druckerei, in der er seine Liebe zum Papier und zu Farben ausleben kann. Seit etwa 15 Jahren sammelt er mit größter Leidenschaft Schwarz-Weiß-Plakate. Im letzten Jahr wurden erstmals seine 100 absoluten Lieblingsmotive der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert und begeisterte in der »Kunsthalle Luzern« nicht nur die Besucher.
Emory Douglas: Criminals Running the Government
Arguably the shortest presentation I’ve been to all day, but arguably the one packed with the most passion.
Emory Douglas is a designer for the Black Panther movement, so his illustrations and posters are anything but controversial.
Josh Higgins – Designing Obama
His first exposure to using design for a cause was a poster in 2005 created for The Hurricane Poster Project, a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Katrina. It made a couple thousand dollars, which was at the time more than he could have contributed from his own pocket. That’s when the potential for design to help the world dawned on him. Working closely with Leif Steiner, the creator the the Hurricane Poster Project, Higgins went on to create a similar projects benefiting San Diego after the fire and more notably Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010.
Jan en Randoald – Graphic Mic Mac 1 and 2
Before Jan and Randoald took the stage, notecards were handed out to the audience for people to write questions on. “They should be related to animals. It would be better if it had nothing to do with graphic design.”
Victor Moscoso, Poster Legend, Interviewed by Norman Hathaway
Victor Moscoso was the first of the psychedelic rock poster artists of the 1960’s era with formal academic training. Norman Hathaway interviewed Victor on his life and work. Victor’s introduction to the art world was through animated cartoons at a movie-house when he was growing up in Spain. Victor recalled the magic of moving color. Then through comic books, he learned to draw through copying, as well as to read.
6 questions to … Julie K. Andersen & Stig Møller Hansen
Julie K. Andersen and Stig Møller Hansen are both lecturer at the Danish School of Media and Journalism. Whereas Julie is all about tangible pieces crafted by hand in laborious techniques like knitting, crochetting and so forth, like the project she showed at TYPO 2013 (watch video), Stig as an interactive designer and coder sees code as a creative tool for the designer. AT TYPO Berlin 2014 they’ll talk about their collaboration “Man vs. Machine” where it’s all about combining these two approaches to produce something new that has the qualities from each approach.
