SOUP
Signage and logo design
This artist workspace is situated on Kruisplein, Rotterdam which is a dynamic street leading from the central station towards the city center. Lisa-lot and I designed the window signage, the logo and the communication for the accompanied ‘soupstantial’ instagram blog.
Collectively the SOUP residents organize window exhibitions and inspirational happenings such as screenings or workshops. Every event is organized in line with what is on display.

I assisted Nicole Martens in developing the exterior of this site specific surface design commissioned by MVRDV,
planned for the center of Zaanstad.
For the realization of this work we
researched archive material of designs in traditional 'Zaanish'
garment. This was used in the final design to create the patterns of
the façade to fit the general plan of Zaanstad.

This book is designed to sustain the seriousness of the subject yet not shying away from taking a creative
turn. It is about art after all. The thick letters make it easy to read and the rotated footnotes give a dynamic twist to
the overall reading journey.
This was assigned by one of the designers; Arthur Herrman, in typography class.
“In the wake of failed states, growing economic and political inequality, and the ongoing US- and NATO-led wars for resources, security, and economic dominance worldwide, contemporary artists are revisiting former European colonies, considering past injustices as they haunt the living yet remain repressed in European consciousness. With great timeliness, projects by Sven Augustijnen, Vincent Meessen, Zarina Bhimji, Renzo Martens, and Pieter Hugo have emerged during the fiftieth anniversary of independence for many African countries, inspiring a kind of “reverse migration”—a return to the postcolony, which drives an ethico-political as well as aesthetic set of imperatives: to learn to live with ghosts, and to do so more justly.”
