Meet the Makers/ KOMFORT
Meet the Makers is a new series conceived by Corner College in collaboration with Motto Zürich that aims to present contemporary publishing projects by inviting the individuals involved.
Meet the Makers: Soirée “Komfort”, A Magazine from the Czech Republic
The evening takes place in the presence of the producers of Komfort: Olga Benešová (graphic design), Ji?í Karásek (editorial board), Radek Sidun (graphic design), Pavel Turek (editor)
“Komfort magazine is a non-commercial project based in Prague, Czech Republic. Completely DIY and Do It Together. This we see as a significant factor – it means we are not subordinate to any erratic publisher or advertiser. The purpose of Komfort Mag is to reverse the traditional idea of a magazine, as something which relies mainly on text. That’s why Komfort is 70% pictures, illustrations or photography. Words are not enough to describe it. Komfort mag is available in several shops abroad, e.g. the newly opened Motto Store in Zurich. We are going to introduce the whole project itself and particularly the latest issue which has been finished recently.” — Komfort

Cool conférence de Yann Serandour
Cool Conférence de Yann Serandour & Lancement d’Hypertexte #2
Hypertexte invite des artistes à créer une forme détournant les codes de l’histoire de l’art et de la conférence. Cette proposition s’inspire des travaux d’Aby Warburg (Mnémosyne), “une histoire de l’art sans texte qui procède par juxtaposition de documents empruntés à tous les champs du savoir : montage-collision au sens d’Eisenstein, esquisse mystérieuse d’un nouveau type d’exposé et d’exposition, loin des généalogies établies”(extrait de “Aby Warburg et l’image en mouvement” de Philippe-Alain Michaud).
Les propositions interstitielles et mimétiques de Yann Sérandour se développent à partir d’œuvres, de publications ou de produits existants dont il réactive la portée et déplace les enjeux. S’inscrivant dans une approche conceptuelle de l’art, il prolonge certaines manifestations historiques dans d’autres directions par des opérations d’infiltration, de parasitage ou de détournement.
La revue Hypertexte est une revue-livre construite sur un principe d’exposition : elle présente des contenus choisis pour leur point de vue particulier sur le thème de chaque numéro et pour leur langage, leur recherche formelle.

DESIGN FOR THE POST-NEOLIBERAL CITY
Design for the Post-Neoliberal City – Civic City-Conference 1 -, invites international researchers and practitioners from a range of disciplines to critically investigate the neoliberal city’s production of urban spaces and its impact on everyday life. Particular attention will be paid to the question how the current global economic crisis serves to accelerate or modify these tendencies. In conclusion, discussion will turn to how the crisis of neoliberal ideology may simultaneously be an opportunity to imagine urban concepts which exceed the primacy of the economic manoeuvres.
With Elisabeth Blum, Ruedi Baur, Bavo, Tom Holert, Bernd Kniess, Margit Mayer, Erik Swyngedouw, Nik Theodore.

Voici un dessin suisse/This is a Swiss Drawing (1990-2010)
Voici un dessin suisse/This is a Swiss Drawing (1990-2010)
Le Musée Rath accueille Voici un dessin suisse (1990-2010), une exposition du Musée Jenisch de Vevey, réalisée en collaboration avec le Fonds d’art contemporain de la Ville de Genève.
En Suisse, le dessin contemporain connaît depuis plusieurs décennies un développement particulièrement riche et fascinant. Au début des années 80, l’exposition de Charles Goerg Le dessin suisse 1970-1980 soulignait déjà les affinités des artistes suisses avec ce médium. Trente ans après, Voici un dessin suisse (1990-2010) opère une nouvelle coupe transversale dans les pratiques artistiques, proposant un bilan de la scène suisse contemporaine du dessin.
L’exposition réunit les œuvres d’une quarantaine d’artistes issus des différentes régions linguistiques. Elle invite à découvrir les diverses veines du dessin contemporain, ses déploiements depuis le support papier jusqu’aux technologies numériques (dessin vectoriel), ses modes d’installation et d’interventions in situ. Genève constitue la première étape de ce projet itinérant, accueilli ensuite par le Swiss Institute à New York.
The Rath Museum is hosting This is a Swiss Drawing (1990-2010), an exhibition from the Jenisch Museum in Vevey, produced in conjunction with the Contemporary Art Fund of the City of Geneva.
Contemporary drawing in Switzerland has developed in a particularly rich and fascinating way over the last several decades. At the beginning of the 1980s, Charles Goerg and John M Armleder’s exhibition Swiss Drawing 1970-1980, already underlined the affinity of Swiss artists for this medium. Thirty years later, This is a Swiss Drawing (1990-2010) takes a new cross-section of artistic practices, using this opportunity to reflect once more on the links – proven or imaginary – between drawing and Swiss culture.
The exhibition draws together the works of fifty or so artists from the different linguistic regions. Visitors are invited to discover the different branches of contemporary drawing, its deployment ranging from paper supports to digital technologies (vectorial drawing), its methods of installation and interventions in situ. Geneva is the first stage in this travelling project, which will subsequently be presented at the Swiss Institute in New York.

Book Design in St Gallen – talks
Book design in St. Gallen talks:
- Roland Früh · Hostettler & Typographic Discourse
As the editor of typographic journals Ralf Hostettler moderated discourse in typography and graphic design for almost four decades, always from St.Gallen, but with an international outlook. This talk will focus on how his editorial work influenced developments in typography and graphic design.
- Richard Hollis · St. Gallen: Tradition & Innovation
Measuring the distance between books designed in St. Gallen and those which represent ‘Swiss typography’.
- Robin Kinross · Hochuli as Editor, Writer, Publisher
Robin will discuss this part of Hochuli’s work – focusing on his VGS books and the annual booklets that he has made: the Typotron series and now the Ostschweiz series, both very much centred on St. Gallen in their subjects.

Mark Unread/The Happy Children Nuancing Down The Hall
Mark Unread is an Amsterdam-based platform for graphic designers that researches the role of a designer in the contemporary art and design world in an active way. Mark Unread wants to emphasize the identity and authorship of the designer. They want to disclose information and make the self-initiated work by young designers accessible.
At the Botkyrka Residency Mark Unread presents a Mobile Shop Weekend with publications on writings and observations. The selection includes printed matter by Serge Onnen, Amalia Pica, Dick Raaijmakers, Bart de Baets, Sam de Groot, Paul Haworth, Phil Baber, Staffan Björk, Celine Wouters and many others.
The Happy Children Nuancing Down The Hall deals with the value of nuance in art. By rephrasing existing material the artists emphasize the distinction between original and art work. They reflect on how nuance can be interpreted in different ways or how it can become a productive element of a working method.
An exhibition curated by Pieter Verbeke.
Opening hours: Saturday, March 13, 16:00 – 20:00 & Sunday, March 14, 12:00 – 17:00

Formats for Books: Hyphen Press and Design Publishing
Formats for books: Hyphen Press and design publishing
Hyphen Press was started in 1980 to make a new edition of a book that had fallen out of print: What is a designer by Norman Potter. Thirty years on, Hyphen now takes its place among the specialist design publishers in Europe and America. By comparison with most of them, its list of publications is short, but also comparatively wide in scope. At the core of the list are a number of historical and practical books about typography and graphic design. True to the spirit of its first book, which invited us to •read on, but not for easy answers•, the catalogue now includes works of philosophy, of fiction, and a book of conversation about music – all of which have some bearing on the activity of design. A strong feature of the practice of Hyphen Press is the way in which editing and design become one process: something that is made possible by the fact that most of its authors are also designers, and designers with a strong editorial awareness. Design then becomes part of the process of shaping a book, rather than something brought in after the content has been established . . .

Open Source Publishing
Open Source Publishing is a graphic design agency that uses only Free and Open Source Software. Closely affiliated with the Brussels based digital culture foundation Constant, OSP aims to test the possibilities and realities of doing graphic design using an expanding range of tools.
We are serious about testing the possibilities and limitations of F/LOSS in a professional design environment, without expecting to find (or offer!) the same experience as the ones we are used to. In fact, we are interested in experimenting with everything that shows up in the cracks.

Le livre d’artiste : quels projets pour l’art ? / The artist’s book: ideas for the future of art?
Le livre d’artiste est une forme récente de la création où l’artiste utilise le support du livre pour produire une œuvre à part entière. Sous l’apparence inoffensive d’un livre ordinaire, souvent modeste, il cherche à intervenir dans le champ des idées et des concepts plutôt qu’à exhiber le raffinement de sa forme graphique et éditoriale. Aussi le livre d’artiste change-t-il non seulement l’approche de la pratique artistique, mais aussi la façon de penser l’art . . .
The artists’ book is a recent form of artistic creation in which the artist uses a book as a vehicle for producing an independent work of art. Under the guise of an ordinary unassuming book, often put together with quite simple means, the artists’ book intends to intervene in the field of ideas and concepts rather than to simply exhibit the refinements of its graphic or editorial shape. By doing so the artists’ book modifies not only the ways we approach artistic practice, but also the way we think about art . . .
