UPFRONT – The billboard at the Gerrit Rietveld academie
The billboard at the Gerrit Rietveld academie is a stage for printed art, design and (school)announcements. Throughout the years it also functioned as a showcase of what is possible at the school’s screenprinting shop, seducing students to come down and try this versatile technique for themselves.
The book was conceived, designed and produced as a farewell present for Kees Maas, who supervised the screenprinting workshop with heart and soul from 1996 to 2019.

Jan Robert Leegte
Alpine project space Somalgors74 (village of Tschlin, canton of Graubünden, Switzerland) developed an application that allows the experience of virtual sgraffito.
The project aims to give a new impuls to this visual tradition by what is going to be an ongoing series of proposals bij various artists and designers. After a visit to Tschlin and the area summer 2018, the first design was made by me spring 2019.
