Hanix Magazine is a cultural and social magazine for the city of Heilbronn and its region. It is published every 2 months (+ Special Editions) and is available free of charge at relevant places. Hanix aims to combine academic content with entertainment, professional authors with occasional writers and to provide them with their own photographs. The covers are sometimes pictorial (photography or illustration), sometimes purely typographical (print type mostly in Pantone). Art direction/graphic design: Raimar Schurmann

»Playground« is part of the upcoming exhibition named »Freibad« at the NRW-Forum düsseldorf.

The series “Composition with noise” expresses the intricate relationship between the rule-based nature of art making and algorithmic beauty of nature.

The instruction has been created and implemented it in the code to produce a generative system capable of creating potentially infinite amounts of paintings. The instruction was this:

1. Pick two colors aesthetically compatible with each other;

2. Paint a grid of randomly rotated rectangles with an applied noise algorithm.

Arp is Arp includes on the poster of the exhibition “Art Nouveau Revival” a painting that Georges de Feure made in 1900 to announce the “Art Nouveau Bing” fair. More than a century later, his painting thus regains its function, to announce a new exhibition on Art Nouveau !
The scenography being made as uncluttered as possible, in a party room very rich in eclectic decorations from the 19th century. Arp is Arp suggests removing all the exhibitions cartels and integrating their content into a visit guide, a sort of treasure map given to visitors, who can find the texts thanks to simple letters pasted around the artworks and found in the edition.

This work, like many of my works, is about balance. I’m always trying to find the relationship between objects and which ones strengthen each other.

What happens at this place? What could happen?
Within this Illustration the day to day life in a urban city is show cast.

‘The Joy Is In You’ is an artwork I created to cheer people up and brighten their day when they see it.
Since the pandemic started, we’ve been deprived of so many things that usually bring us joy, it can often feel like joy has become a luxury. I wanted this artwork to be a reminder that joy can also come from within. You just need to dig deeper within yourself to manifest it.

This poster has been created as an announcement for a symposium called “Editorial Design Now“, that was meant to happen in February 2020 at the ABK Stuttgart originally but got postponed to October 2020 as a virtual symposium. It featured national and international guests, such as Julia Kahl, Carol Montpart, Franziska Morlok, Michelle Phillips, Malin Schulz and Isabel Seiffert. The poster adresses what editorial design is about nowadays, if it’s still mainly for printed matter or evolves into digital space and use. So the poster motive displays just a short moment of a basic and simple modular grid or information system in constant move with popping display colours.

Drowning in blue
Out of control
What can I do
I am addicted to you”

Metodiq Records is an independent label specialized in Techno music.
They needed a rebranding for their new releases and asked for something fresh and provocative.

This cover illustrates Ken Ishii’s “Tilt Anomaly” EP, a futuristic disaster on the dancefloor. Humans are gliding in lights and colors, and the underground becomes as vast as the cosmos.

This poster is part of the development of the visual identity of the exhibition “Los súper-carteles de Studio Mut”, as part of the events of the MADRIDGRAFICA design festival.
The visual identity of this exhibition is based on the deconstruction of Studio Mut’s posters made abstract by highlighting only the basic geometric shapes.
The use of only two predominant electric and powerful colours has accentuated the minimalist concept developed for this project.

“PLAY HARD WORK LESS”

Metodiq Records is an independent label specialized in Techno music.
They needed a rebranding for their new releases and asked for something fresh and provocative.

This cover illustrates MAAE’s “Change Is A Process” EP, an energetic chaotic, yet perfectly rhythmic music, a riot that bursts unexpectedly.

Between Spectator, Actor and Space

Bunte, bunte Welt. Verzogene Realität.
Aus analogen Fotografien, werden knallige Grafiken. Ein Zusammenspiel aus harten, weichen und losgelösten Linien, Licht, Schatten und Farbe Farbe Farbe.

a spectrum describes the distribution of colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) produced when white light is dispersed by a prism or diffraction grating – also it is the range between two extreme points.
In this series I show which colors can be found in a color spectrum defined by me and how many variations there are within each color. The photos are taken from my archive.

The festival identity for Cine Magnífico uses color, movement and mysticism to bring multiple narratives together—and invite a broader audience to take part.

SOFT SOIL was a discursive format within NGbK (Neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst) in Berlin. SOFT SOIL describes the ambivalence of the sandy ground Berlin is built on: both the attrition of urban structures through privatization and speculation, and the malleability of urban space through everyday practices and resistance. The format addresses colonial continuities, and questions relating to the neoliberal transformation of the city since 1990. What ideals shape the production of so-called public space, and what might »Stadt für alle« (»city for all«) mean? This poster represents the final stage of this format bringing together critical voices over the course of 2020.
