Things We Love: “Schweizer Grafiker / Graphistes Suisses”

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Flickr user insect54 has posted scans from classic graphic design book, Schweizer Grafiker / Graphistes Suisses, for all to enjoy.

Designed by Siegfried Odermatt this book features a spread on every member of the VSG (association of Swiss graphic artists). It features many of the great names in Swiss modernist design: Müller-Broockmann, Fridolin Müller, Nelly Rudin, Max Schmid, Siegfried Odermatt, Hans Neuburg, Richard Paul Lohse. It even lists their addresses.

"Microphone" - Alighiero e Boetti (Italian, 1940-1994)

Primavera - Alighiero e Boetti (Italian, 1940-1994)

"Primavera" - Alighiero e Boetti (Italian, 1940-1994)

I sei sensi (The Six Senses) - Alighiero e Boetti (Italian, 1940-1994)

"I sei sensi (The Six Senses)" - Alighiero e Boetti (Italian, 1940-1994)

Awesome stuff.

Bad At Sports has a post about Deb Sokolow’s work with the Chicago Public Schools.  Awesome. Being a huge fan I had to repost a link to it.

I love this photo. I love it so much that I’m reposting it without permission. I know that’s really not so cool, but you know what? It’s just that great a photo.

p.s. Dustin, contact me if you want it down.
p.p.s.: Can I use it for album cover art? (If the answer is yes, say nothing.)

Note: I think there’s a gallery in Brooklyn where you can buy a huge C-print of it.

1. This profile and interview with Fernando Llanos

interview-fernando-llanos

This week, “We Make Money Not Art” has a profile of and interview with Fernando Llanos. I didn’t really know anything about him before reading this and I’ve never seen his installations, but it was both fascinating and inspiring to hear about him.

Check it out: http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2009/10/-hope-youre-having.php

2. Newsweek Interview with Maurice Sendak, Spike Jonze, and Dave Eggers.

interview-spike-jonze

Great interview. I’d never actually read any interviews with Sendak before, but I love his abrasive worldview. It’s also interesting the way he seems like he’s trying not to step on Spike Jonze’s work, but obviously he still does distance himself from it. Good stuff.

3. ‘Suicide’ live on WFMU

suicide-live

Apparently, earlier in 2009, legendary NYC electro duo, Suicide, got back together. I hope it wasn’t just a one-time thing. Either way, now it’s on the internet for everyone to hear. They’ve actually only put up two songs…but still it’s very rad.

Check it out: http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/WFMU/blog/Suicide_live_at_ATP-NY_2009_on_WFMU

OK, that’s it for now. There will be more of these posts soon. I promise.
