‘Goed Geld Salon’ (‘The Proper Money Parlor’) in an initiative that organises meetings about the role and purpose of money in our society with theory, practical alternatives, debate and artistic interventions.

We designed the riso printed flyers for these meetings, and what’s a better way to get your mind on the money game than with money!

The green base layer is pre-printed with all practical (static) information and for each meeting we added the specific info accompanied by a fierce predator in a different colored layer.

For the Chair Group Health & Society (HSO) we designed an info brochure. The brochure contains information about their Research and Education program at the Wageningen University.

Since health and society are reflections of one another, we mirrored some of the the images. Other images are somewhat reflections in themselves with the use of fresh fluor green, looking like fragments from a documentary or film, ‘subtitled’ with quotes from their own research projects.

The cover of the brochure is printed with a silver ink, which contrasts nicely with the green.

The Hague Street Art (THSA) is a well-known street art collective in The Hague, and in 2018 the municipality invited them to transform an old industrial area in The Hague into a ‘street art district’. For over a year, local and foreign artists worked on multiple artworks and ‘pieces’ on various locations raging from power boxes and garages to full murals and even hotel rooms.

After a year THSA asked us to bundle all the artworks into a publication, and create a Street Art Guide of the area.

Even though all the artworks are legally made in broad daylight, our concept for the design came from the thrill, adventure and fun that is surrounded by graffiti artists. Trying to translate this adventurous characteristics with the important element of fun, we chose to show the artworks in the form of a comic book – using the same dimensions, shiny cover and uncoated paper of the comics we used to read as kids.

Since there was off course no storyline, all the individual projects are ranged chronologically as they were made, all of them marked with a location and time as for all of these projects their story starts here. The one anomaly in the story is transformation of the ‘Teleport Hotel’ into a Street Art Hotel, giving the artists the opportunity to paint the lobby, hotel rooms, their garage etc. This project started earlier in 2017 and is still on-going, so by using flash backs and flash forwards we fit this project into the story by using the language and characteristics of comics.

And of course as any good comic book story, this project is to be continued…

RESTORY is a serious game which can be used by policy-makers, officials, architects, artists – everybody involved in (re)using space and purpose – to (vacant) plots and (empty) buildings, such as office buildings, a park, malls, churches etc, to create a new purpose of program such as education, space for artists, recreation, catering industry etc.

The game was conceived by Martine Zoeteman / Stadvogels and commissioned by H-Team, to create a tool for the complex task of reusing buildings and plots with all parties involved to get a better understanding of the process and each other, and to see and discuss possibilities you maybe haven’t thought of before. Possibilities to ease the process, for communicating with partners and parties, or possibilities that can flip the whole idea you started out with.

In the game you can find yourself in multiple existing and non-existing cases and in various roles of people involved (i.e. architect, official, resident, sustainability expert etc.), all having a personal mission.

The game comes with a manual, a manifesto, role cards and case cards which are all printed with a risograph. The box is laser cut and the icons are laser engraved.
