Profile
Amsterdam studio 2015. Photography Jorrit ‘t Hoen.
Hello, my name is Harmen Liemburg. I’m a graphic designer and screenprinter, mostly working on the autonomous side of the spectrum.
Bio
At Rijnstate 2017. Photograpy Jeroen Glas.
“Harmen Liemburg (1966) originally trained as a cartographer. In search of a way to increase his opportunities for expression in the graphic field, Liemburg eventually enrolled at Amsterdam’s Gerrit Rietveld Academy. He became part of a new generation of designers, one closely connected to the world of visual arts, museums and education. In many ways, Liemburg is an artist in the traditional sense. Obsessed with screen printing, he uses the medium to create a variety of unexpected results.”

Kunst op station Noord: van idee tot werkelijkheid
Text (in Dutch) Renske van Bers (Gemeente Amsterdam, Dienst Metro en Tram),
June 2, 2015.
De Noord/Zuidlijn stations krijgen steeds meer vorm en dat betekent ook dat de kunstwerken ontwikkeld gaan worden. Dit vraagt om een nauwe samenwerking tussen de aannemer van de stations en de kunstenaars. Hoe gaat dit in zijn werk? Wij volgen de kunstenaars in hun proces van idee tot werkelijkheid. Deze week interviewen we Harmen Liemburg, verantwoordelijk voor de kunst bij station Noord.
