Accompanying the exhibition Zero, Pop and Minimal – The 1960s and 1970s at the Von der Heydt Museum, we were allowed to design the catalog. This features a clear and minimalist aesthetic that gives the artworks appropriate space and attention. Sul Mono by R-Typography with its simple and legible form fits ideally and unobtrusively into the theme around zero, pop and minimal.

There is a focus on the exhibition's room shots, which gives the reader a good idea of how the artworks are presented. These are introduced to the respective sub-themes by floor plans of the entire exhibition. The reduced work details are set in the design grid in the room photographs.

Overall, the 280-page OTA-bound catalog is a compact and highly informative work, printed on Condat matte Périgord to best reproduce the colors and textures of the artworks. We designed a second cover variant for the publisher’s edition by Verlag Kettler.

The cross-border cooperation project Face à Face (“Face to Face”) presents an exciting dialogue between contemporary art from the collection of the Mudam Luxembourg (Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean), and works of the modern avant-garde from the collection of the Moderne Galerie / Saarlandmuseum Saarbrücken.

With the idea of a card game we have tried to reflect the changing dialogue between the museums and works typographically on the cover. For this project we used our own Pantholz and paired it with Times New Roman.

124 pages, thread stitching, printed on Munken Polar.

Design of the catalog for the exhibition of Josef Albers. Colors in Play at Ludorff Gallery in Düsseldorf.

The exhibition showed a top-class selection of works by the German-American artist Josef Albers including the series Homage to the Square and Variant. The book design is inspired by Albers’ conceptual works Variants and Glenn Gould’s Goldberg Variations by Bach.

The typographic “touch” from Munken Sans, Cormorant and DM Mono Light harmoniously accompany the wide color spectrum of the works of Josef Albers.

144 pages, thread-stitched softcover with OTA binding. Cover made of Munken Kristall Rough. ISBN 978-3-942248-53-2

For the documentation and publication of the most valuable donation ever received by the Stiftung Saarländischer Kulturbesitz, we were able to conceive and design a book that was shown in the context of the exhibition in the Alte Sammlung.

We saw the subtle interweaving of the typography as an exciting contrast of the historical pieces and the content into the present time – here Ogg Display (link to the courtly “culture”, which is also used by the House of Sussex as a citation) and there Poppins, an open source font, as a link to the Populus ;-)

Printed on GardaPat Bianca. The entire typography was printed in Pantone CoolGray 11. The full chapter openers harmonize with the most unexciting and noble cover material and endpapers in Surbalin Seda from Peyercover in the color graphite.

Typography and book design of the catalog for the exhibition series Freundschaftsanfrage at the Von der Heydt Museum Wuppertal.

No.1 is dedicated to the exhibition of Hans-Christian Schink, whose photographic works are presented in dialogue with a selection of 19th-century landscape painting from the museum's collection of precursors of modernism, such as Caspar David Friedrich, Ferdinand Hodler, Alfred Sisley, Paul Cézanne, and Vincent van Gogh.

48 pages, thread stitching. Swiss brochure with a cover made of Surbalin pearl effect – on the video you can see the shimmer and the gloss quite well). Printed by Druckerei Kettler.

From April 1 to July 30, 2017, the Saarlandmuseum – Alte Sammlung and the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte were jointly presenting an exhibition dedicated to an important cultural-historical phenomenon in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries: the “Grand Tour”. This term stands for study trips, which at that time were considered part of the general education of the aristocratic upper class, and led to Rome as well as to the ancient ruins on the Gulf of Naples and in Sicily.

The book was designed by Studio RBƒK using Korpus Grotesk and an unidentified italic [Garamond Premier, see comments]. It was edited by Roland Mönig, Thomas Martin and Stefan Heinlein and published by Stiftung Saarländischer Kulturbesitz.

The current exhibition Breaking News, Making News, Faking News at the Museum für Druckkunst Leipzig takes a critical look at lies and alternative facts in the press using examples from 600 years of media history. In doing so, it also hits the ‘nerve’ of our time and confirms the need for discourse and reflection.

We developed the title for the exhibition about the typographic ‘game’ — it shows the course/origin of fake news in the three stages again, also in historical perspective. For this, we conceived and designed the exhibition campaign and implemented it with print products such as posters and invitation cards and digital solutions on dCLP. The exhibition campaign was based on the catalog we designed.

For the first time, the important stock of written correspondence from 277 letters and cards of the German impressionist Max Slevogt has been compiled and transcribed on 480 pages as Briefe 1898—1932, published by Moderne Galerie / Saarlandmuseum.

This major collection was gifted to the Saarbrücken based Moderne Galerie by collector Franz Josef Kohl-Weigand. It was a special and exciting challenge to realize this abundance of works and the different levels of content in terms of design.

The typography pairs Ivar Nostalgi with Atlas Grotesk. Selected (editorial) notes are set in Atlas Typewriter.
