Fluid Rhythms—Open Set Summer School, LAB & Seminar
Open Set is pleased to announce the Call for Applications for their new seven-month program Fluid Rhythms: Urban Networks and Living Patterns. It’s a fresh round of Open Set, dedicated to exploring the potential of rhythm in the context of the Bijlmer, — one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Amsterdam, once envisioned as an urban utopia and (in)famous for being called the “city of the future”. Open Set is looking forward to a new collaboration with the scientific consortium Designing Rhythm for Social Resilience — together they investigate rhythm-led practices as common ground for research and artistic practice.
Designed to enrich an active studio practice or ongoing education, their programs are aimed at makers and thinkers (design & art fields) who seek a deeper understanding of emergent discourses, connect to the international network of peers, and those who want to take their work in new, unexpected directions.

Theme Fluid Rhythms
“The crowd is a body, the body is a crowd”
— Henri Lefebvre
Life in the city both repeats itself, and is constantly changing. Situated in the Bijlmer, one of Amsterdam’s neighborhoods, Open Set launches a new programme, dedicated to exploring the potential of rhythm in the city. The movement of bodies in space; financial transactions; the circulation of sounds, cells, and smells; changing social constructs that divide and connect people; the flow of microscopic substances—such looping patterns generate dynamic complex structures, or ‘rhythms’, that shift over time. In the words of Caroline Nevejan: “where there is rhythm, there is life”. Understanding and working with such dynamic complexities requires careful attunement to the interactions between social, imagined, and physical realms.
Open Set is looking for artists, designers and scholars to join this international and interdisciplinary programme that investigates the potential of rhythm-led practices as common ground for research and artistic work. This means both providing tools to perceive rhythms, as well as tools to tap into their generative potential. Rhythms occur on multiple levels at the same time, in the macro-level structures of the city, within the cells of bodies, and in the interconnections between mind, emotion, brain and heartbeats. By investigating the intertwined patterns of change, a world of subtle complexity starts to reveal itself to us in how humans, machines, animals and microbes interact and coexist.
Design & artistic interventions can take on any form, whether they are sound, food or image-based formats, performances or digital applications — offering the opportunity to discover new, invisible or forgotten rhythms, to find the points of friction and blind spots and to transform and harness the power for social and ecological change. Eventually, working with rhythms is a way of synchronizing our efforts in acting and living together in a network society.
Local & Scientific Partners
All events are hosted and supported by the municipality and local cultural centres, and informed by people actively involved in the life of local communities. The principal scientific partner is the research group Designing Rhythm for Social Resilience (2018–2022), with affiliated institutions OIS Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions.
The programme is made possible by the support of City of Amsterdam Zuidoost, Het Pauwhof Fonds, CBK Zuidoost.

Us By Night Festival
For the third year in a row, Antwerp’s Parkloods is the setting for Us By Night, a Belgian design and creativity festival that brings national and international creative talent to Antwerp. On 22, 23 and 24 November 2018, the enormous building will once again be transformed into an eclectic mixture of larger-than-life LED walls, art installations and performances, a night market inspired by the original Brooklyn Night Bazaar and over 60 leading speakers on three stages. In short: a visual amusement park organised for and by creative people.
Renowned 3D designer and curator Rizon Parein introduced the unique nocturnal event to Belgium three years ago. “It’s strange to realise that we’ve only been doing this for two years. We actually feel like we’ve passed the ten-edition mark,” says Parein. Us by Night proved to be a success right from the start, with the previous edition in 2017 welcoming more than 5,000 visitors from 20 countries.
For three evenings, design lovers, creative spirits and other curious minds can enjoy a night out with a difference. On the Main Stage, over 25 national and international keynote speakers will spotlight the wonderful worlds of design, illustration, photography, film, motion design, sound design and modern art in all its forms.
Besides this, you can listen to inspiring stories from design studios and creative entrepreneurs on the informal Q&A stage The Living Room. For those who want to roll up their sleeves and learn the tricks of the trade from the best of the best, there is also the Tutorial Stage.
And there’s more! This year, the lively night market will be once again bursting at the seams with
video installations, art interventions, arcade games, table tennis, air hockey, live painting and acts, tattoo shops and dozens of street food stalls.
“We aim to be a trendsetter for design lovers and professionals, but in particular we want to invite curious minds from outside the sector to step inside this inspiring, creative world. We see it as an alternative night out. Our nightlife is in desperate need of an update, and that is one way in which we hope to expand the Us By Night concept in the future.”
- Rizon Parein
An impressive venue demands an equally impressive line-up. American illustrator Shantell Martin has previously worked with Kendrick Lamar, and you may have seen her amazing illustrations for Tiffany & Co, Max Mara and PUMA.
Not impressed yet? Fashion hero Mirko Borsche, whose CV boasts collaborations with Givenchy and Balenciaga? Adidas and Nike are strongly represented again this year, with Nike’s design director Eric Hu on stage, and a huge Adidas-related surprise! Andreas Bozarth Fornell, the architect of many Acne Studio Stores, will also be in attendance, and 19-year-old David Uzochukwu, a photographer from Brussels who has already snapped Pharrell Williams, FKA Twigs and J-Huss, is coming to speak.
With an incredible line-up, inspiring location and amazing activities, this year’s Us By Night is an unmissable event for creative minds.

Ascenders 2018
As part of its goal to support young designers and excellence in typography, the Type Directors Club is inaugurating Ascenders 2018, a portfolio-based competition to recognize outstanding type-oriented work of designers who are 35 years of age and under.
This competition encourages designers from around the world to submit portfolios showcasing their use of type. Members of the TDC Board of Directors will review all submitted work and select ten aspiring and inspiring designers who are expanding the art of typography.
Ascenders 2018 honorees will be announced on July 18th 2018 at the Type Directors Club annual awards ceremony at The Cooper Union in New York. The Type Directors Club will exhibit the Ascenders 2018 work and will present each designer with an award designed by renowned designer Matteo Bologna.
Type Directors Club seeks submissions in the form of a single PDF portfolio containing designs that rely on type, are dominated by type, show particular ingenuity in the use of type, or create type. Other elements, such as photography and illustration, may be present, but the judges will focus on type.
The deadline for submissions is on June 25th 2018. Rules for the competition and further portfolio requirements are in the competition website.

Thru Theth ‘Abstrction of Just Is’
StreyKatt aka Bobby Collins, is an artist, born in New York, USA, and is based in Berlin, Germany. Using analogue photography, as his main medium, since 2007, along with video, and prosaic writing, his self-taught education in and experience with the medium, stems from having worked alongside high-end fashion, entertainment and advertising photographers, during the 1990’s onwards.
These images are from an quasi empirically made series of photographs, with the hopeful aim of having captured some of the spirit of photographer Kel Marubi. Marubi was an Albanian, best known for his pioneering use of cellulosic material for his hundreds of thousands of safeguarded historical images of mainly Northern Albania at large.
Marubi had started his study of photography around the time of my Albanian grandfather’s birth in the early 1900’s. After having learned about Marubi and his groundbreaking use of photography, I felt a strong urge, being part Albanian and a photographer myself, to try to create some new, yet comparatively classic images of Theth, and to share them with everyone I can.
For these images, from the series titled “Thru Theth,” I used a 100 iso b&w infrared 35 mm film. With Theth not having many modernized attributes about it since the era of Marubi, the only thing to modernize was the style of photography, by having to chose a film that would show the surroundings in a more expressive manner, tantamount to the picturesqueness Marubi had once seen and captured.
Nonetheless, from a seemingly inert section of a limestone (with a natural admixt) wall, to the popular misperceived idea of Albania’s obscured past and present, along with its all time uniquely arcane beauty, I hope to have offered a point of view, different from those who have just captured snapshots or classic landscape imagery, along my journey in this region of Albania. In this case, “Thru Theth!”
Was Designer alles machen | What Designers can do
Book “Was Designer alles machen | What Designers can do” presents bachelor’s and master’s theses published at the Institute of Design & Communication at the FH JOANNEUM University of Applied Sciences in Graz, Austria.
86 academic papers from the 2016/2017 year, written by students from the bachelor’s program in “Information Design,” as well as the master’s programs in “Exhibition Design” and “Communication, Media, Sound and Interaction Design” address a wide variety of interdisciplinary contents and approaches. They are complemented by interviews and information about the study programs.
“What Designers can do” is the eight yearbook to date, and was published this year with a completely new design. The challenge was to create a platform, where each study direction could be presented and understood easily as well as the passion for creativity and innovation transferred.
The book is used as an promotional material for the international academic and business partners from the industries.

Type Life
The second issue of Type Life brings a cornucopia of visual inspiration. Swiss Typefaces presents insights into their cosmos of style, fonts, and fashion. This is the only place where you’ll find both Rihanna and Rudolf Koch, and where photos of contemporary art and streetwear are framed by engravings from the Caslon foundry. Type Life doesn’t make many words, and instead shows plenty of letterforms. Printed in seven Pantone colors, it features mirrored words, slanted letters, gradients and all the other things your design prof wouldn’t approve of.
At the heart of this issue is Sang Bleu—the name both of a typeface and of a creative agency. Over the past decade, the two have built a legacy together. Shown are fonts that debuted in the Sang Bleu magazine, some of which later were released by Swiss Typefaces, and others that remained private. Custom typefaces designed for Vogue appear next to the experimental script variant SangBleu Snakes, followed by a stunning guest contribution from the Paris-based Studio Jimbo. Type Life #2 is made perfect by an introduction to the all-new SangBleu typeface and the accompanying printed book that showcases its five collections and 45 styles, released in October 2017.

25hours Hotel München – The Royal Bavarian
Im prunkvollen Gebäude am Bahnhofplatz 1 hat das 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian seinen Platz in München gefunden. Ein Haus mit einer eigenen Geschichte: Was im vergangenen Jahrhundert noch als Oberpostamtsgebäude und königliche Telegrafen-Centralstation diente, ist heute Treffpunkt für Reisende und Stadterkunder. Genau da, wo München rau, urban und wild pulsiert – im Zentrum der Stadt. Und genau dort durfte die Slanted Redaktion zwei Nächte verbringen. In München waren wir zu diesem Zeitpunkt, um bei der Editorial Design Konferenz EDCH dabei zu sein und von dort für euch zu berichten. Bei dieser Gelegenheit ließen wir uns vom 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian verzaubern.
Das 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian eröffnete im Herbst 2017 seine Türen, nach einer fast 2-jährigen Umbauphase. Das herrschaftliche Gebäude, welches im Stil der Neurenaissance nach Plänen von Hofbaudirektor Georg von Dollmann erbaut wurde und eine behutsame Sanierung und komplette Neugestaltung durch das Münchner Architektenbüro OAS Ochs Schmidhuber Architekten erfahren hat.
Für die Gäste stehen 165 Zimmer auf vier Etagen in fünf Kategorien zur Verfügung von der sogenannten Dienstbotenkammer, über Herrschaftszimmer und Adelsgemach bis hin zur Schwanen- sowie Pfauen-Suite, die sich als Rückzugsorte aus der irdischen Welt verstehen. Die Größe als auch Ausstattung variieren, doch alle Zimmer sind ausgestattet mit Betten hoher Schlafqualität, Klimaanlage, nachhaltigen Kosmetikartikeln der Marke »Stop The Water While Using Me!«, Flachbild-TV, Safe, Minibar, UE Boom Bluetooth-Lautsprecher sowie kostenfreies W-LAN und einem Badezimmer mit Regendusche.
In Adelsgemächern und Suiten stehen Fahrräder der Marke Schindelhauerzur freien Verfügung und jeder Besucher kann sich einen der zwei MINIs des Hauses kostenlos ausleihen, um die Gegend zu erkunden. Jedes Zimmer ist einzigartig gestaltet mit viel Liebe für verspielte Details – das herrschaftlich-historische Design ist gepaart mit ironisch-ikonischen Anspielungen und das royale, bayerische Erbe.
Der Schwan ist das Lieblingstier von Ludwig II., seine Erscheinung stolz majestätisch und symbolisch überhöht durch die Lohengrin-Sage, eine Oper von Richard Wagner, die es Ludwig II. angetan hat. So sind überall in seinen Schlössern Schwäne als Motiv zu finden und das 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian reiht sich ganz in die Tradition eines von Ludwigs Schlössern. Sogar in jedem Zimmer eines 25hours Hotel befindet sich ein Kuscheltier, welches im Münchner Hotel ein Kuschelschwan ist, den man auch im Kiosk im Erdgeschoss erwerben kann.
Zudem gibt es eine Art Ahnengalerie gegenüber der Rezeption, in der alle Verantwortlichen des Hotels in Öl gemalt sind – so wie sich einst auch König Ludwig II. verewigen ließ.
Schon die großen, alten Grand Hotels vergangener Zeiten hatten einen Kiosk, wo man wie heute im 25hours Hotel Kosmetikartikel, Zeitschriften, Bücher und schöne Dinge erwerben kann. Auch die Kuschelschwäne und Pflegeprodukte »Stop The Water While Using Me!«, die sich in den Hotelzimmern befinden, sind dort erhältlich.
Herzstück des 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian ist das Restaurant NENI sowie das NENI Deli. Die Boilerman Bar im 1. Stock ist der perfekte Treffpunkt für Kommunikation und ungezwungene Kontakte, wo man einen Highball schlürfen kann. Und das entspannte Burger-Joint Burger de Ville darf in der bayrischen Landeshauptstadt auch nicht fehlen. Es ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei und kann sich außerordentlich gut verwöhnen lassen.
Im 25hours Hotel wurde einfach an alles gedacht und so ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass sich im vierten Stock ein Wellnessbereich zu finden ist. Dort kann man in einer Sauna aus Zirbenholz, welches einen besonders angenehmen Duft verbreitet, den anstrengenden Tag hinter sich lassen und entspannen.
Das 25hours Hotel zeichnet auf jeden Fall eine Liebe zum Analogen aus. So sind die Telefone auf den Zimmer mit einer altmodischen Wählscheibe ausgestattet und auch nicht schnurlos. In Zimmer ab der Kategorie Herrschaftsgemach befindet sich eine Schreibmaschine und in der Nähe der Rezeption noch weitere Schreibmaschinen, wo man die Möglichkeit hat seine Grüße zu tippen und diese durch das 25hours Hotel kostenlos verschicken zu lassen. Schließlich war das Gebäude in der Vergangenheit das Oberpostamt und bis heute befindet sich im Erdgeschoss eine Postfiliale …

Freistil 6 – The Book of Illustrators
Few technical developments have changed and shaped people’s culture and consciousness as much as the invention of printing by Johannes Gutenberg. But do you know Tim Berners-Lee? In decades, people will recognize him as groundbreaking and transforming society, because he is considered one of the most important pioneers of the World Wide Web.
If one can believe the scientists, then in the coming decades, above all, three topics will concern us sustainably; Globalization, democratization and digitization. For all three, the Internet plays a key role. And even though many self-proclaimed entrepreneurs have smiled at the Federal Chancellor’s sentence, one can still hold on to the German-speaking world in particular that development is still in its infancy.
Today, for the first time in 500 years, communication has fallen behind the technical developments, as can be seen in various daredevil attempts at reinterpretations (for example, the airless chimera called “content marketing”), as well as in the loss of confidence towards politicians and journalists & more and more artists & creators. A horror scenario? No, a chance that only comes every 500 years!
Only ideas can fill the spaces that have arisen here. Only content gives the media the right to exist and only quality has a chance to assert itself in gif-thunderstorms. The work in this book makes me very optimistic that a new generation of drafts has developed here, which is more than adequate for this task & I look forward together to a future in which creativity can develop its full power in the first place!
