Books & Printing in the Netherlands 2003 Quaerendo 36,4_482_319-331 11/7/06 5:23 PM Page 319 Mathieu Lommen Books & printing in the Netherlands 2003 january In the series Nederlandse affichekunst part four was published, written by Henk van Gelder: Charles Verschuuren: affichekunstenaar 1891-1955 (71 pp.). This publication accom- panied the exhibition ‘Charles Verschuuren, volkstheateraffiches [popular theatre posters]’, which was on view from 4 until 27 January in Pulchri, The Hague. [NRC Handelsblad, 16.01.2003] With the exhibition ‘Proforma: 15 jaar design in Rotterdam’ the Kunsthal Rotterdam presented from 18 January until 16 March the first retrospective exhibi- tion of the graphic and industrial design of this bureau. ‘Proforma Ontwerp en Advies’ was founded by graphic designer Joop Ridder, communications consultant Els van Klinken and industrial designer Huibert Groenendijk. [Vormberichten, 2003, no. 1-2] On 23 January Tel Design in The Hague celebrated its 40th anniversary in the gem, the Hague museum for contemporary art. Tel Design is a bureau specialized in the development of visual identities and it was responsible for instance for the house styles of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen [Netherlands Railways] (1968), the Gasunie (1990) and [insurance company] Achmea (2001). On the occasion of this anniversary Tel Design published privately, in the final editing of Stijn van Diemen: Emmapark: het geheim van het begrijpelijke: Tel Design 1962-2002 (71 pp.). [www.teldesign.nl; Vormberichten, 2003, no. 3] On 30 January the winner of Het Mooiste Boekomslag [The Best Book Cover] of last year was announced, the second time this prize was awarded. The ceremony took place in antiquarian bookshop joot in Amsterdam. This award is an initiative of the Stichting Best Verzorgde Boeken [Foundation The Best Dutch Book Designs] and the booksellers’ trade journal Boekblad. The members of the selection panel are the booksellers, who are all entitled to vote. This time the winning cover was that on a publication of Anthos/Manteau: Het boek van Gould by Richard Flanagan. This cover was adapted for the Dutch edition by Marry van Baar. [press release Stichting Best Verzorgde Boeken 09.01.2003] The two-day conference ‘Pas op voor de paratext’ [Mind the paratext], which took place on 30 and 31 January in Amsterdam, made an attempt to describe the impact and function of paratext in historical perspective, and wanted to find out whether there is more to say about paratext than what its significance is for a sin- gle literary work or œuvre. The conference took place in the P.C. Hoofthuis and the Allard Pierson Museum, locations of the University of Amsterdam. The Anne Frank Stichting in Amsterdam commissioned the manufacture of fac- similes of Anne’s original diary writings. For this purpose the handbookbinder Pau Groenendijk of Atelier Mooie Boeken worked closely together with Drukkerij Rosbeek in Nuth, which often gets this kind of commissions that cannot be rated among the usual graphic production. In the brochure Uniek in meervoud ([16] pp.), with text by © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2006 Quærendo 36⁄4 Also available online – www.brill.nl/qua Quaerendo 36,4_482_319-331 11/7/06 5:23 PM Page 320 320 Mathieu Lommen Jaap Tanja, the realization of the facsimiles is described. ‘The theatrical effect of this object had to be perfect’, said Groenendijk, who directed the project. Special paper was produced for this project, photographs were pasted in as photographs and tears were made in just the same way as they occurred in the originals. And all this for a print run of two copies. But the Anne Frank Stichting very much wanted to have these unusually accurate facsimiles: in order to spare the vulnerable originals and, in the event of a calamity, to have something with the appearance of the originals. [de Volkskrant, 30.01.2003; Items, 2003, no. 2 (April-May)] Esther Kokmeijer received the Chris Leeflang Prijs of the Stichting De Roos (€ 2,500), a publishing house of bibliophile books in print runs of 175 copies. The selection panel awarded her proposal for a publication of texts by H.N. Werkman, which will now be realized as a De Roos publication. [Vormberichten, 2003, no. 1-2] Design bureau Total Identity was founded in 1963 as Total Design (although the real founding date is 17 December 1962). Now this Amsterdam design bureau cel- ebrated its fortieth anniversary, among other things with the jubilee volume Total identity (237 pp.), which was published by bis Publishers in Amsterdam. [Vormberichten, 2003, no. 3; de Volkskrant, 21.08.2003] february Among the awards of the Best Book Design From All Over The World, organized annually in Leipzig, there was a remarkably large number of prizes for Dutch pub- lications this year. A ‘Goldene Letter’ went to Nynke M. Meijer for Jan Palach: morgen word je wakker geboren: ‘The combination of personal engagement as also of form and contents make this book into something extraordinary. The choice of materials, a vulnerable recycling paper and the modesty of print-technical means – photocopy – let this book seem even more personal. The design of the illustrative part, the typographical elements, which blend in unpretentiously, the pages rough- cut at the side and the softness of the whole book-block turn this work into a haptic and visual experience.’ In addition, on 14 and 15 February there were awards for publications of Irma Boom, Corina Cotorobai (Werkplaats Typografie), Bram de Does and Tessa van der Waals among others. [Items, 2003, no. 2 (April-May)] On the occasion of the Second Conference of European Manuscript Librarians an exhibition of remarkable manuscripts from the 9th until the 20th centuries was on view in the Amsterdam University Library. For ‘Geschreven, getekend en geschilderd’ [Written, drawn and painted] (17 February until 14 March) curator Jos A.A.M. Biemans selected from the library’s own collection among other things a Carolingian manuscript, water colours of plants of about 1700 from the Amsterdam Hortus Botanicus and the designs for the Lexicon (1992), the typeface made by Bram de Does. For the public space of the newly built Amsterdam district IJburg the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst [Amsterdam Art Fund] had also commissioned graphic designer René Knip (b. 1963) in the past six months. Following his commission for the let- tering of the street signs he was commissioned to execute a series of numerals (€ 4,500, provisional design).

License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of the Arts London – London College of Communication February 2017 First submission: October 2015 2 Abstract This practice-led research is the result of an interest in graphic design as a specific critical activity. Existing in the context of the 2008 financial and subsequent political crisis, both this thesis and my work are situated in an expanded field of graphic design. This research examines the emergence of the terms critical design and critical practice, and aims to develop methods that use criticism during the design process from a practitioner’s perspective. Central aims of this research are to address a gap in design discourse in relation to this terminology and impact designers operating under the banner of such terms, as well as challenging practitioners to develop a more critical design practice. The central argument of this thesis is that in order to develop a critical practice, a designer must approach design as criticism.

  • 150715 Bio and CV Hella Jongerius
    Hella Jongerius’s research on colours, materials, and textures is never complete. All her questions are open-ended, and all her answers provisional, taking the form of finished and semi-finished products. These are part of a never-ending process, and the same is essentially true of all Jongeriuslab designs: they possess the power of the final stage, while also communicating that they are part of something greater, with both a past and an uncertain future. The unfinished, the provisional, the possible – they hide in the attention for imperfections, traces of the creation process, and the revealed potential of materials and techniques. Through this working method, Jongerius not only celebrates the value of the process, but also engages the viewer, the user, in her investigation.

From our first, astonishing incoming class to our most recent one (which, in a first for BGC, I met over Zoom), our students are what I am most proud of. That first class put their trust in a fledgling institution that burst upon the academic art world to rectify an as-yet-undiagnosed need for a place to train the next generation of professional students of objects. Those beginning their journey this fall now put their trust in an established leader who they expect will prepare them to join a vital field of study, whether in the university, museum, or market. What a difference a generation makes! I am also intensely proud of how seriously BGC takes its obligation to develop next-generation scholarship in decorative arts, design his- tory, and material culture.

  • 141201 Bio and CV Hella Jongerius
    Hella Jongerius Short bio Hella Jongerius studied Industrial Design at the Eindhoven Design Academy and graduated in 1993. She came to prominence very soon after graduating, with a series of her designs being produced by the influential Dutch conceptual design collective Droog Design. She started her own design company, Jongeriuslab, in 1993 in Rotterdam, and in 2009 moved to Berlin. She works for many prestigious clients, including KLM, Vitra, Maharam, Royal Tichelaar Makkum, Artek and Nymphenburg, and her work is held in the collections of MoMA New York, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Design Museum in London, amongst many others. Jongerius designs a range of products, including furniture, lighting, glassware, ceramics, and textiles. Her work combines the traditional with the contemporary, the newest technologies with age-old craft techniques. Jongerius is also fascinated by the value of deviations from perfection, the misfits, the individual character that products can assume. In most of her products, she succeeds in creating this individual character by including craft elements in the industrial production process. As an art director for Vitra and Danskina, she defines an over all concept for the colours and materials of classic and contemporary design. ‘I like to give the classics a new energy. It is an honour to take care of our heritage’. CV born 1963 in De Meern, The Netherlands 1988–1993 Academy for Industrial Design (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) 1993 Starts with design studio
