Publik T-Shirt Reissues
Between 1999 and 2008, we have designed a large amount of prints for Japanese t-shirt label 2K/Gingham. When creative director Yoshi Kawasaki left 2K/Gingham in 2008, we decided to leave with him. Since then, the shirts we created for 2K have been out-of-print. Until now.  We are very proud to announce that Yoshi Kawasaki's new label, Publik / Five Leaves, just released the first shirts in a series of reprints. For now, the following shirts have been reissued: 'John & Paul & Ringo & George' (2001), 'New Wave / Neue Welle / Nouvelle Vague' (2005), 'Cu Vi Estas Esperantisto?' (2005), 'Flag / Sabbath / Big' (2006) and 'Grow Your Hair' (2006); all these prints come in several colour combinations. For information about prices, sizes and shipping, please contact Publik (if in doubt, it's probably a good idea to order your shirt a size bigger; Japanese shirts tend to be cut quite slim). More information about the design of these prints can be found here, here and here.

Shelter and Session
Friday, 18 September 2009
Some short bits and pieces. First of all, we designed a print for House of Cards, a group exhibition organized by Shelter, taking place at Haunch of Venison (London) between Sept 24th and Sept 28th, 2009. The piece we made (black and white, A1 laserprint, signed, edition of one) will be auctioned for charity by a Christies auctioneer. Contact Shelter for more information. Secondly, we are participating in The Last Session, a group exhibition organized by Amsterdam art zine The Session (whom we worked with before; see here). The show actually opens tonight (Friday Sept 18th) and we will be spinning some records during the opening party. So feel free to drop by at De Brakke Grond tonight. Finally, we are very happy to announce that the Rietveld Academy will stay in its original location. We struggled hard to make this happen, and we are relieved beyond belief that we actually won this case. We'll write more about this later; in the meantime, more information can be found here.

Rien ne va Plus
Tuesday, 01 September 2009
From September 12, 2009, to January 10, 2010, Maastricht institute NAiM / Bureau Europa will play host to the double exhibition 'Rien ne va Plus / Reading Europe', a collaboration between magazine A10 and architectural studio Powerhouse Company. For this exhibition, we designed all the usual printed matter (invitation, posters), but also an A4-sized, 36-page publication (a 'reader'), which can be purchased through NAiM / Bureau Europa. A quick preview snapshot of the cover of this reader can be seen below. 
Catch the show at NAiM / Bureau Europa, Avenue Ceramique 226, Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Pioneers of Change
Tuesday, 01 September 2009
Taking place during two weekends in September ( Sept 11-13 and Sept 18-20, 2009), Pioneers of Change is a group exhibition organized by Dutch design label Droog, on the occasion of NY400. Inside and around eleven abandoned officers' houses at Governors Island (NY), an assembly of Dutch product and furniture designers will present a wide variety of projects. For this exhibition, we designed all printed matter (invitations, flyers, brochures, etc.) and the website. We are currently working on the sign system, which we will install at the island ourselves. Hopefully it will turn out okay.  The private opening will take place on September 10. Press releases (PDF) can be downloaded here and here. A program (PDF) can be downloaded here.
