Open Space is pleased to present the Eighth Annual Publications and Multiples FairIt’s no joke!

Saturday, April 1 from 12 – 6pm Sunday, April 2 from 12 – 6pm at the Baltimore Design School

Stop by the fair for a program outlining all of the on- and off-site programming this weekend!

MORE INFORMATION HERE!

The Publications and Multiples Fair is an annual exposition of contemporary artist books, prints, publications, sculptures, jewelry, textiles, and works produced in multiple. This event has grown tremendously, from having 15 vendors in its first year to having 150 in its seventh year. Taking up one weekend in the spring, PMF acts as a beacon for artists across the country. People traveling from both coasts come together to sell the wares they have produced throughout the year and stay for the connections made with makers they may have never met before. In more recent years have we curated additional on-site programming throughout the weekend that includes panel discussions on contemporary identity issues, poetry readings, musical performances, motivational speeches, and artist talks.

Formed in 2009, Open Space is a DIY artist-run gallery and collective located in Baltimore, Maryland.

HAIR CLUB (with Kelly Lloyd) 4:00-5:00pm Hair Club would like to invite participants to use a variety of materials to construct their own merkin, or pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by sex workers, but are now used as decorative items by people of all genders, and for “modesty” purposes by actors. During this event, while constructing our merkins with a variety of materials including sequins, fringe, felt, faux-fur, yarn, ribbon and glitter paper, we will engage participants in a discussion around body hair, specifically pubic hair, looking at the vilification of women’s body hair and the portrayal of pubic hair in pop culture. This workshop will explore a humorous DIY strategy to processing culture’s dictates about where hair should and should not be, while Kate Bush plays in the background. Co-founded by Suzanne Gold, Kelly Lloyd, and Michal Lynn Shumate, HAIR CLUB is an interdisciplinary, research-based art collective whose work is centered around the multivalent topic of HAIR.

Formed in 2009, Open Space is a DIY artist-run gallery and collective located in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Dead Web - La fin

1. L’objet de l’Internet de Projet EVA:

This art work was the most interactive piece, as it started to work only when one would go inside it and sit. As you sat and watched the mirrors and lights of the machine go faster and faster, you began to get lost, dizzy and overwhelmed. This to me represents the internet in the sense that it is so fast and so out of our own control, that it is easy to become overwhelmed. It also represents what it would be like if the internet shut down, because just as the machine is at it’s fastest, it surprises you and shuts down. This feeling of surprise is similar to the feeling of surprise we would feel if we lost the internet, surprised and lost.

2. Mémoires éteintes III de Grégory Chatonsky & Dominique Sirois:

As the curator Nathalie Bachand explained, this piece was meant to represent what an archeological site of the 21st century would look like. The different videos and imagines displayed on the televisions showed popular internet fetishes, like cat videos and destruction of technology. The piece was to show how a dystopian future archeologist would view the internet and its technologies if they were to completely shut down. This installation was somewhat interactive because you could walk around it and watch the videos.

3. Infinitisme.com Forever A Prototype de Frédérique Laliberté:

This piece demonstrates the vastness of the internet. There is so much information on the internet, it is never ending, and this piece is made to prove how many random things can pop up. By refreshing the page of the computer, it continuously generates to a new page, and helps us realize how eternal the internet is. It is relevant to the theme of the show as it presents you with so much information and so many pages that when you think about it, if the internet shut down, where would they go? To many, the internet is so unknown and vast, it is really mysterious. The piece itself is like the internet because it is always in progress of expansion. It is interactive because one needs to refresh the page on the computer for it to work.

4. BPM 37092 de Julie Tremble:

It took me a while to figure out how this piece might be related to the internet, but I guess that’s just it; it is not easy to understand and full of connections, just like the internet itself. It is not necessarily physically interactive but it makes you think, which is a type of interaction with oneself.

5. Memento Vastum de Julien Boily:

I think that the skull in the oil painting represents how if the internet were to shut down, we humans wasted so much time on it, but is now lost forever. It is not necessarily physically interactive but it makes you think, which is a type of interaction with oneself.

Logo Design Awards: 8th Annual Winner Galleries

It was a year of firsts for the HOW Logo Design Awards, the competition that began recognizing great logo design in 2008. This year, the two Reader’s Choice winners will get a Big Ticket registration to HOW Design Live 2017, and all 20 winners will be featured in the pages of the Summer 2017 issue of the award-winning HOW magazine. (Subscribe today to get the issue on your doorstep!)

HOW is proud to present the 20 winners of the 8th Annual HOW Logo Design Awards in the gallery below. These winning projects were selected from among nearly 1,200 submissions by Landor New York’s Wally Krantz, with support from the HOW editorial staff.

All 20 winners went head-to-head in an online Reader’s Choice voting. The GUND Rebrand received 39% of votes in the logo design category, and Vallier Bistro received 39% in the identity applications category, making them the Reader’s Choice winners this year.

Reader’s Choice in the Logo Design Category: GUND Rebrand

DESIGN FIRM Cynda Media Lab, Englewood Cliffs, NJ; www.cyndamedia.com CREATIVE TEAM C. J. Yeh, Christie Shin, art directors; Fred Pirlot, designer CLIENT GUND DETAILS GUND is the oldest manufacturer of soft toys in America, and also the first teddy bear manufacturer to truly capture emotion and facial expression in their product shots of plush toys. GUND’s new brand identity design pays homage to this tradition by focusing on the most emotionally expressive elements of GUND’s signature products. It emphasizes the intangible qualities of the company’s work over the physical, reflecting the emotional investment that develops among their consumers.

Reader’s Choice in the Identity Application Category: Vallier Bistro

DESIGN FIRM Phoenix the Creative Studio, Montreal, Quebec; www.phoenix.cool CREATIVE TEAM Louis Paquet, creative director; Christopher Nicola, art director; Clement Piganeau, Anthony Morell, designers; Fouad Mallouk, account manager CLIENT Vallier Bistro DETAILS Ten years ago, Mr. Vallier Dufour founded Vallier. Wishing to “dust off” the place, he closed for a winter and has undertaken a major facelift. Result: Vallier is a restaurant that specializes in creative and comforting cuisine with French bistro-style dishes. Vallier offers its customers a whole new menu and a whole new decor to make the restaurant warmer, lighter and add comfort. Phoenix was asked to tackle the brand identity, a new logo and all of their communicational tools, in addition to the design and development of their new website.

Winners in the Logo Design Category

1. Cochon Dingue

DESIGN FIRM LMG Communication graphique, Québec; www.lmgcom.com CREATIVE TEAM Jacques-Dominique Landry, Louis Martin, creative directors; Mathieu Tremblay, art director/designer; Laurent Grislain, designer/photographer CLIENT Groupe Restos Plaisirs DETAILS Fascinated by France, the client wanted to bring back, from 36 years ago, the spirit of French bistro in his restaurants. In this rebranding project, the challenge was to translate that in a clearer, simpler design compared to the original logo. And all of that with a funny side (Cochon Dingue means « crazy pig »). With vintage-French-poster–inspired typography and its famous bleu-blanc-rouge palette, the new branding clearly shows his French roots. The logo now features a more energizing and crazier pig. Jumping on a trampoline or walking on his front legs—it’s up to you to imagine it!

2. Craft

COMPANY/CLIENT InVision App, New York City; www.invisionapp.com CREATIVE TEAM Aaron Stump, art director; Jared Granger, art director/designer DETAILS Craft is a suite of plugins that empowers designers to create digital products using real, relevant data. The Craft logo illustrates the concept of joining as well as unfolding; specifically, the joining together of all the aspects within the design process to reveal the final product. The logo also reflects movement, which echoes the ongoing, iterative process inherent to thoughtful design.

3. DIRT // Logo

DESIGN FIRM helium creative, Fort Lauderdale, FL; www.heliumcreative.com CREATIVE TEAM Christopher Heller, Ryan Sirois, art directors; Kelly Gedvilas, designer CLIENT DIRT DETAILS Miami Beach farm-to-counter eatery and wellness bar DIRT approached helium creative in desperate need of help. They had a name that didn’t fit their audience and no identity at all. After the firm’s naming + brand development process, DIRT was born, and since then it has soared to be one the most popular restaurants in Miami. Helium creative gets almost daily compliments on its brand work for DIRT, including the logo. Purposely clean-cut and structured, the logo is meant to give way to focusing on the important stuff—the food. The little tilt in the ‘I’ and the tagline, EAT CLEAN, is a nod to living life a little different and a little healthier.

4. Dixie Identity

DESIGN FIRM Landor, Cincinnati; https://landor.com CREATIVE TEAM Dale Doyle, executive creative director; Grant Collinsworth, creative director; Zack Mueller, designer CLIENT Georgia Pacific DETAILS Saul Bass designed the Dixie identity back in 1969. Over the years the mark evolved into a more dynamic and expressive wordmark to bring to life the positioning of the brand. Landor wanted to bring back the simplistic spirit of the original identity that Saul Bass created in order to connect with today’s consumer. The new mark is modern, simple, yet full of life.

Note: The judge was unaware that the Dixie logo was a Landor design when he selected it. HOW acknowledges the judge’s connection to Landor. The Dixie logo was evaluated and seconded as winner by a HOW art director and the HOW editorial staff.

5. Drei Brüder

DESIGN FIRM Peppermill Projects, Annapolis, MD; www.peppermillprojects.com CREATIVE TEAM Jennifer Culpepper, art director; Grace Rudder, designer CLIENT Old Stein Inn DETAILS Drei Brüder is the brand name for a line of packaged goods made in the kitchen of the Old Stein Inn, a German restaurant in Maryland. Drei Brüder means “three brothers” in German and is named for the three young sons of the owners. The team designed the Drei Brüder logo to fit within the Old Stein brand by using similar fonts and colors. They also illustrated the three toe-headed boys who frequently help out in the garden to share a bit of their personalities.

6. L’Espace Public

DESIGN FIRM Écorce, Montreal; www.ecorce.ca CREATIVE TEAM Karl-Frédéric Anctil , creative director; Xavier Coulombe-Murray, Julie Poulin, art directors; Rafik Andraos, production designer CLIENT L’Espace Public DETAILS The microbrewery’s new brand image needed to represent all five master brewers at Espace Public, including their passion for beer and pride in the Montreal district they are based in. The pigeon—a bird that always travels in flocks, is not shy about staking out its place and can be found everywhere, especially in public places—was made the emblem of the brewery and will be featured on all of the company’s communications.

7. Majorette

DESIGN FIRM Almanac, Saint Louis, MO; www.brandalmanac.com CREATIVE TEAM Nathan Sprehe, art director; Katie Hileman, designer CLIENT Majorette DETAILS Majorette is St. Louis’ latest event space and is a younger (wilder) sister to Boo Cat Club. With a loud voice and tassels everywhere, Majorette brings together the curious, creative people of St. Louis. After uncovering a brand voice, Majorette’s visual identity quickly came to life, demanding everyone around her to have fun. The vibrant and arresting print collateral, exterior signage and (ahem) attention-grabbing website immediately draw you in to Majorette’s spirit

8. Publicis.Sapient

DESIGN FIRM/CLIENT Publicis.Sapient, New York City; www.publicis.sapient.com CREATIVE TEAM Gaston Legorburu, chief creative strategist; Matthew Jacobson, executive vice president, design; Allison Bistrong, creative director; James Alleman, associate creative director; Matt Keeler, senior art director; Jonathan Candelaria, Jordan Rivero, art directors; Cindy Maria Jimenez, senior designer; Wailam Pan, design manager; Katarina Bromberg, marketing director; Leyvani Escallon, manager project management; Tim Tonsel, senior manager technology; Mike Zevitas, Dustin Mershon, senior interactive developers; Sergio Gutierrez, senior manager project management; Kevin Williams, interactive development manager; Chris Tomotsugu, Sofia Puerto, interactive developers DETAILS The Publicis.Sapient platform represents a new model within Publicis Groupe, which demands a visual identity that defines a culture of collaboration.

he firm needed to show C-Suite business leaders and analysts how it’s built to leverage an unprecedented scale of seamless capabilities, and at the same time show the internal team how they fit in to the bigger picture of P.S while remaining connected to their current agency.

To that end, the team created a modular identity system, built on the idea of alchemy—the magical process of transformation, creation and combination. The firm is both a collection and a connection of elements—while every day they are hydrogen, some days they get to be a part of creating water. So far our brand rollout has been articulated through a digital style guide, and applied through digital communications, an exhibit at the Adobe Summit, stationery, swag, promotional materials, even on Fenway Park’s Green Monster.

9. Sharpie Slam ATL

STUDENT Tayllor Battle, Atlanta; www.tayllorbattle.com INSTRUCTOR Colleen Finn, www.colleenfinn.com SCHOOL The Creative Circus, Atlanta; www.creativecircus.edu DETAILS Top Atlanta artists went toe-to-toe in an exciting, interactive art competition. Teams were given a theme, a foam board and unlimited sharpies to develop their masterpiece. Battle created this logo as a celebration of the event, incorporating the rooftop environment and the triumphant power of the marker.

Winners in the Identity Application Category

1. 1907 Meat Co.

DESIGN FIRM Ghost, Oklahoma City, OK; www.ghostokc.com CREATIVE TEAM Matthew Pickett, art director; Ryan Fuller, Hannah Ashford, designers CLIENT 1907 Meat Co. DETAILS From farm-to-plate is at the heart of the quality meat offered from 1907 Meat Company. This startup maintains close relationships every step of the way—from the farmers and animals to the facilities processing the cuts—ensuring a premium standard that did not exist in this market previously. 1907 is the year of statehood for Oklahoma. That state pride is captured in an identity system that includes a strong palette, tags and stamps parted with great photography of the actual farmers and animals in the story. The tagline was also developed through this exploration: “The premium standard wasn’t available. So we created it.”

2. Addison Elementary

DESIGN FIRM Tompert Design, Palo Alto, CA; www.tompertdesign.com CREATIVE TEAM Claudia Huber Tompert, art director; Adam Houghton, designer CLIENT Addison Elementary School DETAILS Based on a superhero theme, Tompert Design created a new logo for Addison Elementary School (Palo Alto, CA) as part of the annual fundraising auction—the firm’s pay-it-forward project for 2015. The bright primary colors and fresh design approach were just what was needed to achieve powerful participation for the incredible event. And then Whoosh! The logo design morphed into ever-more adventurous projects befitting these heroic agents of education.

3. Adventure Philanthropist

DESIGN FIRM wkrm design, Austin; www.wkrmdesign.com CREATIVE TEAM Jiwon Park, art director; Emily Jarvis, brand design lead; Hillary Henrici, designer; Emily Jarvis, Hillary Henrici, brand system designers; Whitney Chen, Denise Zaldivar, UI designers CLIENT Adventure Philanthropist (Erin Michelson) DETAILS Adventure Philanthropist is an interactive media company that provides the mechanisms and motivation for individuals to participate in philanthropic activities.

The philanthropic personality test carefully assesses individuals to discover and define their philanthropic personality type. At the end of the quiz, a set of curated philanthropic activities will be revealed based on the defined philanthropic personality type and the chosen cause.

A unique pattern-filled badge system generates personalized badge symbols that each user will build up themselves while answering the ten questions. This personalized visual system not only highlights the fun of philanthropy, but also nurtures motivation and promotes the infinite possibilities for good-doing.

4. Cochon Dingue

With vintage-French-poster–inspired typography and its famous bleu-blanc-rouge palette, the new branding clearly shows his French roots. The logo now features a more energizing and crazier pig. Jumping on a trampoline or walking on his front legs—it’s up to you to imagine it!

5. L’Espace Public

6. Method + Standard Vodka Identity

DESIGN FIRM Device Creative Collaborative, Winston-Salem, NC; www.wearedevice.com CREATIVE TEAM Ross Clodfelter, Shane Cranford, art directors/designers; Noemi Zelaya, designer; Stephanie Campisi, Reid Thorpe, copywriters; Dianne Sutherland, illustrator; V.K. Rees, photographer CLIENT Piedmont Distillers, Inc. DETAILS Method + Standard is a vodka for those who care equally about what goes in to the bottle as what comes out of it. This dual-concept approach is embodied in a brand identity as carefully crafted as the vodka itself. Embracing the spirit’s all-natural, additive-free, small-batch sensibility—following it from the sourcing of its off-the-branch ingredients to the memorable experience of the final pour—each design element underpins the notion that it’s the method that creates the standard, and that the two are inseparably intertwined.

7. Press Cafe

DESIGN FIRM Pivot Group, Portland, OR; www.askpivot.com CREATIVE TEAM Alyssa Wise, Joey Bianco, creative directors; Rachel Getsinger, art director/designer; Kelsie Montgomery, designer; Amanda Kate Howard, production coordinator CLIENT Press Cafe DETAILS The Press Cafe logo was created out of a desire to represent the pride the cafe has in its rich Northwest heritage. The brand contains versatile marks that are used across a variety of applications. The brand and space grew into a cozy and modern lodge. Dark wood, antique metal canteens and cups, and framed maps of Oregon’s forest areas contribute to the cozy atmosphere. The focal point of the space is undoubtedly the fireplace with beautiful shelving surrounding a white ceramic deer head. Press Cafe captures a unique experience and taste of the Northwest.

8. The Cobbler at 1558

DESIGN FIRM Conduit Studio, Grand Rapids, MI; www.conduitstudio.com CREATIVE TEAM John O’Neill, art director; Ryan Mitchell, Kelly O’Hara, designers; CLIENT The Cobbler at 1558 DETAILS As he took over a generations-old cobbler shop in the quirky neighborhood of Eastown, Conduit Studio’s friend Romie wanted a brand that respected the shop’s history while signaling a new, modern-day outlook. Based on studies of historical industrial lettering, the studio created a custom typeface with roots in the past and enough eccentricities to feel fresh. This became the touchpoint for the brand. They renamed the shop, which specializes in shoe repair and bespoke leather coloring and treatment, to highlight the address and emphasize its hyper-local, neighborhood focus.

9. Wulf’s Fish

DESIGN FIRM Vervaine Design Studio, Chatham, MA; www.vervaine.com CREATIVE TEAM Alison Parker, creative director/designer; Joe Fox, brand messaging; Claire Woodward, design assistant CLIENT Wulf’s Fish DETAILS Founded in Boston in 1926, Wulf’s Fish Market was a neighborhood cornerstone that thrived on word of mouth for 90 years. To position the company for growth, they needed to elevate their brand and tell a story that would be relevant to savvy customers nationwide.

The studio designed a logomark that is both modern and timeless, a vibrant emblem that pops on packaging, signage and apparel. The angular form evokes a diving fish, with a subtle nod to history: the arrowhead “deli counter” tickets that Sam Wulf’s customers pulled when they lined up for his cuts. Wulf’s heritage for quality, traceable seafood suggested a tagline that says it all: “New Fish. Old School.”

Artists Imagine Life After a Total Internet Collapse

Julien Boily, Memento Vastum (2012). Images courtesy the artists and Eastern Bloc

At symposium at the British Royal Society in 2015, experts warned the internet could collapse by 2023 because of a “capacity crunch.” Picking up where this idea left off, curator Nathalie Bachand put an exhibition together called The Dead Web - La Fin, in which several artists explore how such a collapse might impact society, art, and technology.

“Each work address the exhibition’s concept through very different lenses, but they all relates to an idea of the after-web world and of technological obsolescence as well,” Bachand tells The Creators Project. “And of course through their own artistic practices, which are positioned at opposite points in some case: from 3D animation to oil painting, just to mention the two most extremes.”

vimeo

ODI_PROMO_PHONE from Projet EVA on Vimeo.

In The Object of the Internet, Projet EVA creates a kinetic installation inspired by Bryon Gysin’s dream machines. Viewers sit on a bench with their heads inside the machine, and when the machine starts moving around its axis the viewer’s face gets “virtualized.” This, according to Projet EVA, creates an immersive spectacle of the viewer’s own face.

“We sort of drifted from [the idea of] a video projection to a purely electro-mechanical reflective machine,” Projet EVA’s Simon Laroche and Etienne Grenier tell The Creators Project. “The use of one-way mirrors as a primary medium allowed us to explore the theme of online narcissism in a novel way.”

Grégory Chatonsky & Dominique Sirois’ Extinct Memories III

Laroche and Grenier built models and mockups with pieces of mirrors, lazy susans, and flashlights before creating the final product. They were only able to see what it could do a week before the show, once they had done the final build with materials and coding.

“We want people to experiment a progressive dissolution of the self in a not-so zen way,” the duo says. “We are hoping that through aggressive abstract modifications of their own reflection, people will think about the vacuity of their online existence.”

Image from Frédérique Laliberté’s Infinitisme.com Forever A Prototype

In Infinitisme.com Forever A Prototype, artist Frédérique Laliberté envisions an eternally “progressive” web project: a makeshift, autonomous internet that generates semi-random virtual compositions. A web project with a computer as a papier-mâché hard drive that visitors can navigate, it is, as Bachand tells The Creators Project, a desperate attempt to create the internet as a hand-crafted data center.

This desire to resurrect that which is dead is also depicted in Extinct Memories III by Grégory Chatonsky and Dominique Sirois. Now in its third iteration, the installation project imagines an archeological-like exhumation of Internet servers that are still readable. Internet obsessions like the techno-fetishes for devices and cats appear in these servers, amongst other digital artifacts.

Project Eva, The Object of the Internet (2017)

Bachand also included a painting in the show by Julien Boily, which she feels is a bit of a provocation since the Eastern Bloc venue itself is all about digital art. Titled Memento Vastum, the painting features a skull on a desk facing a blank white computer screen, with a recently extinguished candle to its left. As Bachand says, the painting tells of a lost memory—in this case, the loss of know-how, whether artistic or traditional knowledge immediately replaced by the new, often in the form of information or data.

Julie Tremble’s BMP 37093 is a short 3D animation that depicts the death of a star and its slow transformation. With the universe and internet’s deaths comes the birth of a diamond.

Julie Tremble, BPM 37093 (2014)

Bachand hopes The Dead Web - La Fin will get people to rethink their personal relation and our collective to the internet. Ideally, it will also get people to ask themselves what, ultimately, we want from the web.

“Many think that the Internet isolates people from each other, when in fact we are constantly and furiously in communication together,” Bachand says. “I’m currently reading Kenneth Goldsmith’s book Wasting Time on the Internet (2016), and I realize that I never thought about how it actually improved my everyday life on so many levels, often unnoticed.”

“And it seems it won’t stop going further,” she adds. “[I] can’t wait to see the future of the internet—what’s to come we can’t even imagine.”

Project Eva, The Object of the Internet (2017)

The Dead Web - La Fin runs until February 15th at Eastern Bloc in Montreal.

But First, Let Me Take a Selfie!

It started with an 3D animation exploring a mountainous landscape made up of photos of Kim Kardashian’s skin.

French-Canadian artist Grégory Chatonsky’s “Perfect Skin II” 2-minute long video is as equally grotesque as it is intriguing, offering a bird’s eye view of an environment covered with detailed patches of Kim K’s flesh.

The video was inspired by an articleon self-design by Boris Groys, a…

Media artist Gr.gory Chatonsky’s Telofossils (2013), a collaboration with sculptor Dominique Sirois and sound artist Christophe Charles, picks up on this context of technologies, obsolescence, and fossils. The exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan, focuses on the slow, poetic level of decay that characterizes technopolitical society and nature. The “future archaeologist” perspective that Chatonsky summons with immersive affective moods created in the exhibition’s installations is akin to Manuel Delanda’s figure of the future robot historian that gazes back at our current world emphasizing not the human agency of innovators but the agency of the increasingly automated and intelligent machine (as part of the military constellation). The future archaeologist in Chatonsky’s installations and immersive narrative is a displacement of the human from a temporal perspective (the future) and from the Outside (alien species)...

Indeed, for Chatonsky, the double role of technology becomes understood through future as a fossil: in his words, “they participate to the exhaustion of our planet but they also constitute traces of our existences.”...

Hence the fossils of the future are the ones we live among, and in this speculative fiction, the extrapolation of current technopolitics is returned to us via memories of the future. This link of present and the forthcoming is implicitly there in any kind of an apocalyptic future scenario.The question is, why are we imagining now such postextinction futures, worlds that are mediated and in medias res—a mediated technological future?

The notion of the fossil is a hint at a future grounded in dysfunctional technology: indeed, similarly as in new insights in technology and repair studies, we need to be able to rethink the modernist fantasies (also visible in the historical maps of past imaginary futures in paleofuturism) of technology as clean, smooth, and progressing and replace such with the primacy of the accident.
