What, if anything, do
the designs you find attractive have in common?
At best, good design can
educate, provide guidance, and/or emphasize the content. Durability and
experimental approaches are certainly also attractive traits.
Please tell us about
some of the projects you have worked on recently.
We have been working
with the House of World Cultures for many years, and there are exciting
identity, editorial and exhibition design projects going on all the time.
This year,
there is an important conference on a rewriting of human history, based on the
book The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow. The Parapolitics publication,
edited by Anselm Franke, has finally been published. Currently, our projects include exhibitions on Alanis Obomsawin, a Canadian artist
who works with themes related to the indigenous population, and on Jean-Luc
Godard — one of his films will be shown as an installation at the HKW. For
these projects, detailed coordination with the curators is important. We need
to produce quite quickly, so we have to be careful to work precisely and come
up with convincing solutions.
