Printed speech
A7-sized booklet
Near the end of 2008, we were invited by The Wolfsonian, a museum located in Miami, to attend a dinner that would be held on the occasion of two related events: Wim Crouwel's 80th birthday, and the opening of 'Gridnik', an exhibition that would take place between December 5, 2008, and March 10, 2009.

Kelly 1:1 was a replica of...

High Rise / Down Fall
High Rise was another installment in a series of publications we created together with photographer Johannes Schwartz, starting in 2003 with the publication of High Noon. The plan behind the series is pretty basic: every time Johannes is participating in an exhibition, he publishes another issue, and asks us to design it. (These issues never contain material featured in the exhibition itself; the idea has always been that these issues would show other material. In a way, the publica...
