Ultralight at Graphic Design Festival Breda’s (GDFB) new office/gallery space, October 16 – 25, 2009
Typical European folkloristic signs connected to travel and traffic. What is more intriguing than a troll crossing your path in Norway? And anybody who’s ever been to Sweden knows this watch-out-for-moose sign. There’s even one in Amsterdam!
New box similar to the first version (US venues) designed and constructed at Gerlach Art Packers & Shippers, now called John Nurminen.
Transferring images to the box using selfadhesive pre-cut stencils and ink pads. More precise that spraycans or acrylic paint, sure, but extremely time consuming. What a nightmare… Next time I’ll just print the wooden plates!
Shipping box/display and foldable picknick table/process books.
