ZAK Center for Contemporary Art
Visual identity, signage
The exhibition Collectors and Hunters – Wunderkammer Zitadelle was an experiment. The sculptor Olaf Bastigkeit was invited to dive into the archives, collections, and storage rooms of ZAK Centre for Contemporary Art for making his very own personal selection. The interest of the artist goes beyond the typical highlights of the museum’s collection and focusses on criteria of shape, color and contextual meaning. The presentation follows the idea of a cabinet of curiosities – objects presented in a specific setting, a real maze, arranged from valuable historic furniture as well as left-overs from past exhibitions and never before exhibited curiosities, wrapped in hundreds of meters of sheer fabric. This built the frame for the exhibited objects and the works from other artist colleagues, invited by Olaf Bastigkeit: Mariechen Danz, Moritz Frei, Jay Gard, Hannah Hallermann, Christian Henkel, Marian Luft, Yvonne Roeb.

Earth is losing animal species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the natural rate. “Ecosystems, species, wild populations, local varieties and breeds of domesticated plants and animals are shrinking, deteriorating or vanishing. The essential, interconnected web of life on Earth is getting smaller and increasingly frayed. This loss is a direct result of human activity and constitutes a direct threat to human well-being in all regions of the world.”
(Prof. Josef Settele, Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung, Leipzig) at the 7th Session of the IPBES Plenary (The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) in April/May 2019 at the UNESCO head-quarters in Paris.

Bochum University of Applied Science
Book design with website twin
For the relaunch of the annual book we came up with a concept which differs from the university’s publications of the last 10 years. Content replaces marketing. Professors were interviewed by students on specific topics, in two long image passages we show first campus life and second students’ projects. All descriptive text about courses, seminars and modules is reduced to a minimum and grouped together on four pages. Making space for the students’ perspective and output as well as giving a real insight into campus life was our main priority. The table of content doesn’t list chapters as usual, but instead features intriguing and curious terms that we’ve picked out of the interviews. Same for the website. The English translation at the end of the book is printed on blue paper. The cover features all the degree students’ names from 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Galerie Michael Haas
Book design
Jakob Mattner creates works of light. His artistic goal is the transformation of light between darkness and brightness, the Twilight as one of his most important work series is titled. Large-format light installations fall into a new creative phase and cast vibrating, analogue reflections on a projection foil that look like interstellar nebulae or light reflections of water. The catalogue for the exhibition Second Planet at Galerie Michael Haas shows Mattner’s latest work.
