To students looking for internships

Every week, students from all over the world send me nicely crafted portfolios, trying to find an internship.
This is very flattering, but… as a soloist with a small studio at home, I’ve never felt the need to have an intern or assistant yet. Most of the work I do, needs to be done by myself within my own atmosphere. There’s hardly any division between private/business or work/free time. I just wouldn’t know how to keep you busy all day day long…
I’m always open to meeting people and looking at physical portfolios though, so if you happen to be in the area, and I have time for you, please drop by for a visit, okay?
Studio


Since I moved to Amsterdam in 1994, I’ve shared many studios with various people. So far, I’ve worked at 11 different locations alltogether, a reason to keep things compact and light. At the moment I’m content working in this cosy 16 m2 studio at the Elandsstraat, where I also live.

While being a student at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Kees Maas introduced me to the principles of the screenprinting process. Since I graduated in 1998, most of my printing is done at his screenprinting shop/ publishing house Kees Maas Zeefdruk/Interbellum Grafiek in Amsterdam Noord.


Today, Kees and me are collegues at the same Rietveld Academie, co-running the school’s screenprinting shop for paper.

Things I know about Harmen Liemburg

Text Ian Lynam
Written for PingMag during a visit to Tokyo, December 2006
Harmen Liemburg is an artist/graphic designer/educator from the Netherlands. He is a natural image maker, creating challenging posters and printed materials that bring together a unique sense of form, collage, color, and composition. His work is exciting and weird – there is no ‘easy read’ to the bulk of his work – you need to spend some time with one of his posters to try to decipher what he’s trying to get across.
Liemburg and Niessen: A Joint Expedition

Interview with Nadette de Visser for Amsterdam Index 2006 (A shortcut to creative Amsterdam), about the collaboration with Richard Niessen & Jennifer Tee.
Alles Klopt, Achteraf

Nameless Swirls, An Unfolding In Presence. A collaboration of Jennifer Tee with Erwan Maheo, Roy Cerpac & Harmen Liemburg. Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, September 12 – November 23, 2003.
