LOGO R.I.P.






Logo R.I.P. is a commemoration of logos that were once an integral part of our ocular landscape but are now deemed defunct - due to either mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcy or rebranding strategies. This book, compiled and designed by the Stone Twins, is a dignified final send-off for an international selection of graphic icons from the previous century.

What day is it?






A typographic calendar which offers a fresh approach to, not only its appearance, but its content and function. This calendar goes against the usual 'plaatjc praatjc' design of calendars. By basing the design of the calendar on light (explanation) and dark (unknown), an interesting design has been produced that allows functionality and design to sit side by side.

LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA "MIGRATION ADDICTS"


52nd International Art Exhibition "La Biennale di Venezia"
Migration Addicts Curated by Biljana Ciric, Karin Gavassa

Migration Addicts began as an ongoing project two years ago in Shanghai, investigating how migration re-determines issues related to human identity, gender and spiritual needs. The fast expansion of urban spaces, following the model of big cities, has led to new social conflicts within the social structure. Recently the tension between Western and Chinese traditional values and lifestyles, as well as the late arriving of capitalism and the persisting communism, have not hindered the Chinese impulse towards assimilating the “international standards”, while fostering its own economic development.
