“In a world increasingly concerned with questions of energy production and raw material shortages, this project explores the potential of desert manufacturing, where energy and material occur in abundance.In this experiment sunlight and sand are used as raw energy and material to produce glass objects using a 3D printing process, that combines natural energy and material with high-tech production technology.”
“Bendita Gloria is a graphic design studio run by Alba Rosell and Santi Fuster based in Barcelona. They are especially interested in printed matter and defend a conceptual approach to face design projects.”
“These painters, with the advent of local DTP (Desktop Publishers) shops, are rapidly going out of business with many of them switching to the quicker, cheaper but uglier vinyls. Many painters have given up their practice altogether.”
“The work of Marleen Sleeuwits characterizes itself by schizophrenic scenes that radiate both magical beauty and suffocation. The urban environment, the surroundings and areas that she portraits seem unspoken of, areas that do not attract any attention because of their lack of function and unreachableness through its closed character.
By giving these spaces a function, Sleeuwits confronts her audience with their common beauty but also puts an emphasis on the carefully formulated design concepts that are created for these areas.In doing so with persuasiveness she confronts us with our selectivity and our incapability to open our eyes for the ordinary. Through her aesthetic use of light and color she also points out the oppressive notion that behind everything shelters a thought.”
