HIP HOP!
The 2012 graduation publication of the Bachelor of Fine Arts programme at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) takes the form of a small-format newspaper featuring a selection of works created during the course of study.
The cover, printed in gold on off-white paper, features text fragments by the graduating students – some from their first semester, others from their final one. These quotes vividly reflect the artistic development of the emerging artists.
“I was truly delighted when I began to understand and discovered new connections.”
“I shamelessly use my impatience to fuel my work.”
“Ideas are […] conceptual thought approaches and don’t necessarily need to be pursued further.”
Fittingly for this moment of transition, the cover features a work by Veli & Amos, photographed at the Qalandia Checkpoint, titled: “HIP HOP!”
