We’re delighted to invite to our first Typographic Nights in 2024!
If you’re curious about the possibilities of graphic design, join us for a live session with three talented designers, who will show you what your text can become. Co-curated by Trang Ha and Paulina Trzeciak, this session will host:
• Basia Strzeżek is a graphic designer from Poland, currently residing in Amsterdam. She flirts with multidisciplinary art while staying vocal about her never-ending exploration of ‘the amateur’ in conversation. In her design work, she plays with the subversive potential of the mundane, crafting fleeting textural sensations and imperfect imageries often full of pocket-sized ornamental gestures. Having recently completed her Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, she is also involved with an occasional publishing house called « Stopka.”
• Delphine Lejeune is a visual designer and material researcher working experimentally across 2D and 3D printed surfaces. Her curiosities lie within designed objects, and how they critically shape our social behaviours. Her source material is often found, digital images that she extrapolates into objects through layers of reformatting, delineating the boundaries between digital and physical representations.
• Anne-Dauphine Borione, alias Daytona Mess, is a 29-year-old type designer from Paris, France. She is currently studying for the TypeMedia Master degree program at the KABK, The Hague. After a bachelor in Fine Arts at the Central Saint Martins, London, in 2016, and a Master degree in Typography and Graphic Design from the École de Communication Visuelle, Paris, in 2020, she is now focusing her design practice almost exclusively on type, infused by her conceptual fine arts background. She is particularly fond of experimentation, largely in the field of extreme display type, but also has a knack for sharing her process and documenting it extensively. Her complex, open source typeface Lithops, inspired by brains affected by Alzheimer’s and by lithops succulents, has received a Type Designers Club award in 2023.
Join us on Friday, February 9 from 18:00, free entry!
