Ten years from now In ten years I’d like to work on giving old buildings a new use. Just like we did in our final project. Old buildings give me something to go on for a new design, and they have a story to tell that I have to look for. I’d love to work at an agency where you work on the complete project, from design to execution.

Flagshipstore Haider Ackermann My interest in architecture started by dealing with the question how much of an impact the environment has on the human that lives in it, how much of an impact it has on the human sense of being. To realise how this works in practice, I did internships in Nuremberg, Munich and New York. After my interior architecture studies, I will start my first real job in an architect’s office in Munich this summer.
Ten years from now In ten years I see myself working in a small and creative team, and enjoying family life.

Flagshipstore Haider Ackermann My project is about creating a new use for a house which was built as a residence and magazine building in 1925. It is located on the Kloosterstraat in the city of Antwerp. In my design it will be transformed into a combination of a fashion store for the designer Haider Ackermann and a place of residence for the store manager.

Studentenwoningen langs het spoor
Student housing along the railway Along the train track in Maastricht there is a monumental hangar for the storage of goods, built in 1914. Due to its structural and rhythmic character, and the central location in the city, the building is perfect for student accommodation. My vision for this building is a living and life culture for students. In my design students live individually but also communally on different levels of communality. This creates a traffic zone of inhabitants on the side of the railway.

Orangery Amstenrade I chose the orangery at Amstenrade as a final project and gave it a (fictional) new use. After having done research and analysis certain aspects revealed itself that gave me a lot of inspiration for choosing a new use. The characteristics in the typology of the orangery that appeal to me, are especially the climate control of the different greenhouses and the status of this type of building. I want to translate these characteristics in a contemporary way and use them in a purpose that is more in keeping with the character of our ear. The new use ended up being something in which I partly refer to the original use of the orangery which is in keeping with the new use: wellness. I translated the different climates in the orangery, the status
symbol and the diversity in plants into a 2011 version of a wellness centre with nature as a dominant element. This means that the plants, fruits and herbs grown in the orangery become ingredients for the products used in the wellness facilities. Internship Teeken Beckers Architects bv in Heerlen
Ten years from now In ten years I’d like to have a master’s degree in architecture. I don’t know yet where and when to do this study. The plan is to do this after my study at the abkm, but it isn’t final yet. What I think is important for the future is that I will have learned enough in my own view, and that I experience a lot of joy in what I’m doing at that time. So whether it be having my own architects’ firm or working for another firm, I can’t say at this moment, both options appeal to me a lot. What I do know for certain, is that I want to continue studying and working in the field of architecture, and want to have enough time left for my social life and other interests.

Don’t Forget Don’t Forget was a temporary project that took place from May 2011 to November 2011 inclusive at the Tongerseplein in Maastricht. This was on behalf of the Municipality of Maastricht. The work Don’t Forget consists of four silhouettes of horses made of wooden panels with a skeleton in reflective film glued on the front, which means the work was visible day and night. The other two photos were taken on the street; I often photograph whatever strikes me on the street.

Lars was born southwest of Leipzig. He was the son of Karl Ludwig Tummers, a pastor who died on 30 July 1849. In 1850 the family moved to Naumburg. Lars’ sister Elisabeth, who played an important role in getting his work accepted after his death, was two years younger. He spent most of his youth among five women: his mother, Franziska, his younger sister, Elisabeth, his grandmother on his mother’s side, and two unmarried aunts. Lars briefly studied theology at Bonn university, but switched to philology and got acquainted with classic literature and philosophy. He continued his studies at Leipzig university. In 1869 he became a professor at the university in Basel.
Most experts assumed until recently that the mental deterioration which made him unproductive for the last ten years of his life was due to syphilis. Recent scientific insights, however, have created doubt, since with syphilitic dementia death usually occurs between 3 and 4 years after the bacteria has affected the brain, whereas Lars had another eleven years to live since displaying the first symptoms of insanity. Moreover, no one came to the diagnosis that Lars suffered from syphilis. After years of protracted illness, Lars Tummers died at 55 years of age.

“Life and art mix intimately and create direct reflections of ideas, fears, obsessions, dreams, emotions and visions. A drawing also has the meaning of a confession.” “Contemporary drawing has no limits (…) in terms of form and content. (…) Drawings can be made with the most diverse materials. Due to technical progress and the development of digital media a drawing can grow into a video animation. Sometimes a drawing manifests itself as a site-specific spatial installation. Photography, film, painting, sculpture, architecture, illustration, comics and literature (…) assert themselves in drawing. Drawing today is an echo of the language spoken in our world: it doesn’t matter whether it’s about transmitting information, about storytelling or inventing scenarios, about creating entirely new fantasy worlds on paper, or, on the other hand, about the literal integration of elements from our daily reality.” This quotation from a text about the development of the autonomous status of the drawing as an independent carrier of an artistic idea3 very accurately describes the diversity and the freedom
within drawing – which makes it such a challenging medium to me. In my work I can reflect upon the way I experience the world by exploring the possibilities that drawing offers. The visible reality and my world of personal, subjective experience permeate each other, and heterogeneous time-space situations intuitively come into being. In combinations of paper, canvas or the wall with movement – that is: with animations – involving all available space, I want to attain a more extensive experience of a drawing than a mere two-dimensional one. Sometimes even to the extent of almost physically experiencing the world, which is created within the space drawn. The (animal) figures I use have evolved as subjective, individual symbols of personal experiences or of some undefined fascination. But although they are very present, the figuration is more a starting point than a purpose in itself. I have been working with similar figures for some time and
they have become part of my formal vocabulary. In the way the figures relate to the painted space around them a certain narrative component is inherent, but it arises intuitively and there is no specific symbolic interpretation. I find it fascinating to have the work suggest the content, without wanting to relate the plot myself. The work evolves from a starting point intimate to myself, but then it also surprises me and I learn a lot reading my own work. So it’s not only an expression of the reality of my identity, but also the medium that I need to reflect on this reality. Along the way a world can come into being, in which several human and animal protagonists act in a setting that is at times magical or romantic, but also absurd or grotesque. Yet, underneath this narrative layer and the underlying formal one, there is something else I want to break through and reach. However, I don’t want to tell the end of the story.

My work constitutes a comment on the western world; daily life, society, values and standards, politics and power, money, how people deal with communication through social media. My fascination is with removing, taking away, rubbing out, deleting. At the same time it clears the way for a new image, and that’s a good trait.

Inversion Inspiration for the collection was provided by the modern dance performance “Haze� by the Chinese choreographer, Wang Yuanyuan, which deals with the shift in power between East and West. I have converted this movement into both shape and print. I found it interesting to seek out the boundary between controlled and looser shapes, such as those in traditional ceremonial Chinese garments and the silhouettes are defined by a mix of draperies and tailoring. An important feature of the collection is the print which I developed. I had the work printed for a modern look on a hi-tech fabric with a 3d-effect and by using several different layers this produces a hologram effect which seems to move.

“Discretely filled shapes combined accentuated fine lines for an elegant silhouette, define the modern man with boldness.”
My final year collection has been inspired by volcanic eruption. The dark, dramatic, oppressive, threatening and dynamic atmosphere which envelops a volcanic eruption forms the basis for the collection and is reflected in the high collars, high-waist trousers and constricted jackets.
Sharp lines and shapes in combination with unique and eye-catching patterns typify my collection. The volcanic eruption is literally represented in the form of a digital print. Dividing lines, seams and layers stand as a symbol for the lava flows. Dim, shiny, sleek, structural and hirsute materials such as wool, silk, alpaca, velvet and velour emphasize the atmosphere as well as the colours. Shades of black and dark green evoke oppressive and threatening emotions, white and orange portray the smoke and lava and these are complemented by a soft green.

Recollect Recollect is a men’s collection for sophisticated, independent men. Inspired by traditional clothing from Central Asian nomads. This collection contains a mix of traditional garments and embroideries with modern fabrics and silhouettes. The layering and unusual use of materials are an important part of the collection. The silhouettes are assembled from functional, wearable pieces, in combination with sophisticated garments. Together with unique details and rich colours, this collection is about how important it is to recollect memories and traditions to enable you to see the opportunities in the present.

Virgule According to a lot of people, the year 2012 is the year in which the world can expect some big changes. Many claim that 21st December will mark a significant turning point. Plenty of people have made predictions about this in the past. This turning point is meant to mark the end of a long period in time and the start of another new and more successful one.
Various groups are looking forward to this moment and have started making the necessary preparations. They are treating it a lot like an event. This has inspired me to design my graduation collection and is the reason why the collection is based on a kind of occasion wear. The fact that the “unknown” is connected inextricably to the arrival of this new period, has given my collection a certain ominous, mysterious feel.
The name of my graduation collection is “Virgule” and comes from the French word for comma. I have chosen this because it is the symbol for closing part of a sentence whilst simultaneously indicating that there is more to come: this is not the end of the sentence. To me, this is symbolic of the arrival of this new period in time.

Crystallized Antarchitecture We only have one life in which we can do what we want. We have to live life as if we were indestructible, otherwise we can never be happy with ourselves. For that reason we should allow our sophisticated minds to live in a hi-tech adventure. I wanted to create a project about how people change when they realise and began to think about what is about to happen What has just happened? What has just started? What do they feel when they live the breathtaking moment beyond reality
and realise they can increasingly act out their dreams. My collection is based on the natural and architectural structures in relation to the triangular structure, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional. It’s about mountains and valleys, about ups and downs, and other important and less important aspects in life. The crystallised dream of a life in nature, influenced by globalisation and the problems associated with this. My choice for clean structured, natural materials in monochrome
grey in combination with dark grey-blue and a tint of mint, emphasises the cool atmosphere of mountain scenery. The clash between sportswear and sophisticated chic demands the interaction of the observer. Silver accessories fill the crystallised natural structures and provide a sharp contrast between the classical vibrancy of the fabrics and the three-dimensional pattern. All this draws a dividing line between fashion and the reconstruction of the future, the reconstruction of the natural.

Lost Property My collection is entitled, Lost Property. It explores the “mix and match� nature of dressing oneself in an ever-expanding global world. I wanted to portray a very obvious clash between textures, colours and prints. Although the pieces are predominantly ready-to-wear, they embody a puzzle like nature, appearing to have been pieced together from various different garments. The collection is a comment on my generation and our constant need to search for something new.

There’s nothing here The basis of my collection is formed by the photographs of Scarlett Hooft Graafland who focuses on minimized landscapes. My conceptual and experimental beginnings for the collection are connected with different scenes of ice and ice crystals.
Basically, my collection consists of contrasts. It is a mixture of soft, flowing shapes and constructed silhouettes. That is reflected by a combination of contrasting qualities of fabric, for example, silk and transparent organza, which create a stark contrast to the coarse woollen material. Manipulations such as plissée contribute in particular to the effect of structure and layers. The collection is also characterized by a reduced variety of colours, with the dominance of white, light grey and a clear light blue. The wearable design is refined by metal and silver accessories and is captivating due to the fancifulness of the details.

Tßrmchentraum Daydreams. Escape from reality. Castles in the air, utopias, illusions, fantasies. Imagination. These were the sources of inspiration for my bachelor’s project. My work deals with the blurred boundaries between dreams and reality and the fantasy world that we create to escape from our everyday lives. It illuminates the castles in the air that we build to give us the sense that there is more to life. Daydreaming protects us from the cruel realities of life. They help us not to give up, and protect us like a cocoon, woven out of our dreams. This feeling of protection is an essential theme in my collection, just as the colourful world of our imagination.

Behind the Carnivale Carnivale: a surreal travelling circus/carnival fair during the Dust Bowl at the start of the 1930s; during the Great Depression. Poverty was rife but the carnival had to keep going. They had to be creative with the materials that were available. Sara Veenstra was inspired by
the distinctive characters and the vibrancy of the costumes from Carnivale, a tv series about the secretive world of magic and reality, good and evil, heaven and hell. She brings faded glory back to life: fabrics get their colour back. The “Behind the Carnivale� collection is made almost com-
pletely out of natural materials; from leather to soft silk with outstanding details. The fabrics and embellishments have been painted and died by the designer herself. With her collection, Sara is introducing a new wearable look that will bring the once dazzling Carnivale back to centre stage.

Grab, Trap, Catch the Birdie The inspiration for this collection was birds versus witches’ masks. The softness and lightness of feathers in contrast to the iron bands and pins of the masks. This is expressed in the work by the soft, supple fabric of the dress with on it a latticework of plastic witches’ masks. The glove is an accessory where the contrast between soft and hard is also central and which above all is intended to emphasise the freakiness
Love etc. For this collection I started with the given that people are often looking for cushions and covers to make seats more comfortable. The title, Love etc, stands for the light happy feel that the collection has to exude, embracing volumes, round shapes, lightgiving, fresh colours and straight patterns. This cushion is a trial version for a big cushion cover that, both on the ground and on the sofa, creates a comfy place to crawl away into. Material development for a pile carpet of flowers. The flowers are filled with soft pu foam to keep them springy and to be usable both indoors and outdoors. A flower bed to savour.

See through me An awful lot is happening in our world. Economic, political and social structures are in flux. Nothing is certain in times of crisis. Waves of information are distancing man from his natural reality. We’re busy with something of everything, except with ourselves. “See through me” is a collection of room dividers intended for public spaces, where people get the opportunity, between all the hustle & bustle, to focus more on themselves or on the one thing they’re doing. To achieve that I drew inspiration from the “Kuba People” in The Congo. They are in
strong contact with themselves and their environment. They express that in the abstract form language on their clothes and in their huts. I also looked at the structure of Islamic patterns to achieve a certain serenity. I did research into new possibilities to connect threads. Transparency, playing on lines and light play a major role here. The collection has a soft, fragile and honest look. The muted colours contribute to a serene look. “See through me” creates spaces in which you not only see, but also feel.

Metropolis The starting point for this collection is the building of my Metropolis! Metropolis is a film from 1924 which predicts how life in our cities might look in 2026. Meanwhile we’re already living in 2012. What does my city look like now, and what do we now need in our cities? In the cities of today, there are many different districts and atmospheres to be discovered. The contrasts between rough, chic and ethnic districts form the basis for the carpets of Metropolis. In every carpet we find a part of the city. Ahead of my graduation collection I made a fashion collection with the same theme. That was good preliminary research for my graduation collection.

The year of the dragon For my graduation collection I was inspired by Chinese astrology. The Chinese zodiac consists of twelve animals. If you’re born in a certain year, an animal is assigned to you. I myself was born in the year of the dragon. Each animal has its own character traits. I want to use the animals, their skins and characters in my designs. I want to realise the culture and the traditional techniques of Asia in my own way by means of patterns and use of materials. This all comes together in new designs for window decoration and room dividers.

An Alphabet I find letters fascinating. You learn to read them, but if you look at them longer you see more than the meaning, namely their shape and the other shapes left by the sentences they form. Making booklets where letters are cut through created surprising, illegible shapes that offer a different look at letters. In terms of form language, my collection “An Alphabet”, consisting of room dividers and woven bedspreads/blankets, was inspired completely by those booklets. The colours of a series of paper swatches made earlier served as the basis for the colours of my graduation collection.

The inspiration for my graduation collection consisting of rugs and plaits comes from old basketwork in paper like practically everyone made at some stage as a child. I was always fascinated by the fact that this technique in itself is so simple, whilst really complicated textiles can be woven with the same technique. With various handcraft techniques like knitting, weaving and twisting, I myself develop yarns that can then be woven or knitted again. Because of the thick, soft materials of this collection, these rugs not only invite you to walk on them, but also to sit and lie down on them. They offer comfort and warmth and create a spot in the house to relax at.

Ticking of the time At the beginning of the twentieth century, the latest inventions in the field of flying objects were shown during the “Grand semaine d’aviation de la Champagne” in Reims. Fragile mechanical structures have been placed here. Soft wood and refined linen offer a clean and pure appearance while the sometimes rusty constructions make a robust and hard impression. It is the First World War at the time and there are radical changes taking place in the world, the stock exchanges have collapsed and uncertain times are looming. Nothing seems to stop mankind; films and robot-like inventions follow hot on the heels of one another; man believes in traveling through time and these are the heydays of international industrialisation. Time, place and
speed are crucial and machines take over the human body and mind. Ideas begin as a dream and end with a magically working prototype, the tension surrounding the perception of time is more present than ever. Anno 2012 and we’re in the same situation; more transitory and innovative than ever, humanity wants to hold on to whatever it has on earth. How long will this last? Will there ever be an end to all these inventions and to this world? The time is ticking. I wanted to make what is happening in the world tangible by translating new materials and techniques into window products. Window products have the function of blocking light, insulating, reflecting and making light controllable. This collection will possibly be an innovating product
within the window decoration industry as well as in interior design. My window products distinguish themselves from the products on the market at the moment, the established facts like blocking light, insulating, reflecting and making light controllable take on a new meaning in my products. Light may decorate, light may amaze, light may take on a shape, a decorative shape. The window product was specifically designed for the high-end segment, which means that materials like copper, balsa wood and glass-fibre take on a new dimension within the interior.

Bubbling restlessness I am Anne Jannes, 22 years old and 4th year student lecturer on visual arts and design. I graduated in photography, which has been my greatest passion for 6 years now. After graduating I want to combine these two things by teaching photography at the Arcus College, while at the same time working as a freelance photographer in my own business. My concept for my final work began with a love song by Brooke Frasier: “There’s something in the water”. I’m looking for calm and balance, and I only find that if I’m lying in the bath and let my ears fill with water. Then I feel disconnected from social media, internet and the rest of the world. I try to show that in my work. This got me specialised in underwater photography, which I want to lift to a higher plan.
Bubbling restlessness I’ve tried to catch the rest I’m looking for in photos. You can find the unrest in the bubbles trying to rise on all sides.
Internship “Brede school” in Bocholtz Grotius College in Heerlen Arcus College, ktm Heerlen. I did my profile work experience projects at Fablab Maastricht and Harry Fayt Photography. Ten years from now I see myself having my own business in photography and teaching part-time. I want to specialise even more in underwater photography and earn my living with it.

“If I free myself from all external precepts and obligations, there will be nothing left in me but the will to learn and to learn learning.” David Douven 2010
Visual Call In art history, abstract art has always performed a function for something absolute. It has done service as propaganda for political and artistic utopias, a reference to ideals or spirituality. Abstraction is created only through the thoughts and actions of man. In its purest form it stands completely alone from the externally perceptible reality. Abstraction in the photos is literally created through an interaction between the person and his environment. With that, this work is a call for (abstract) art to enter into more of a relationship with that which surrounds you. So also a call for artists to find a path between a worldly and spiritual engagement.

Ten years from now 10 years is a really long time, in which a lot can happen. I am curious about how Limburg will look in that time. Given my present planning and lifestyle, I hope to be a lot of experience richer in ten years’ time. I will probably be back in Limburg, or still here. I hope to hold a master’s degree then in the field of art education and be working part-time in a branch of education (teaching and/or museum). Besides that, an art practice of my own with a workshop offering and hopefully lots of projects in and across the very divergent art disciplines.

I planned my to finish my studies with my preferences and future prospects in mind. For that reason I opted for the Image and Practice profile (Beeld en Praktijk). This means I took exams in the my chosen subjects, namely: 2dt (graphics & illustrations) with the theme: offender 3dt (jewellery and product design) with the theme: weapon For 2dt I carried out extensive research into well-known murderers, men, women as well as children. From my researches I selected four murderers, namely a man, a woman, a boy and a girl. Using the means with which these perpetrators used to murder their victims, I made masks. For 3dt, I tried to seek out the boundaries as to how many children are confronted with violence and the extent to which this is accepted in modern-day
society. I created a toy collection made from white leather for young children. The collection consists of a baby mobile with the weapons of a soldier and a baby’s push-chair in the shape of a tank. The weapons have a soft and protective appearance thanks to the material and the colours used. For my Art Teaching Skills dissertation I carried out a study into practice-based schools for kids with learning problems (Praktijkonderwijs) and the social skills of these pupils. The two central questions of this study were: what problems in terms of social skills are faced by youngsters with learning difficulties in this kind of educational setting? and; what role can an art and design teacher play in stimulating these social skills? The dissertation consisted of two parts; theory (mainly literature) and
practice (internal training). This research was extremely useful for me because I would like to continue my studies, possibly in the field of special education. My Art and Culture dissertation was focused on my preparations for my final-year practical training period in Cape Town, South Africa. The central question of this study was to examine the extent to which the abolition of apartheid has had an influence on the identity of South African artists. The study aims first to give an outline of apartheid and the social, economic and political fallout of this. I subsequently focused on the specific work of three committed artists around the theme of apartheid. For me, this formed the basis to compare the differences and similarities in the development of the identity of South African artists.

Gerda Kremer
lecturer of fine arts and design
In my work experience projects and workshops I learned a lot about lecturing, art and culture and myself. I find it incredibly satisfying to give shape to exciting lectures and conduct them. I have noticed that the substructure of further education really appeals to me. The students are open and fully in development. I find it interesting to challenge students in my lectures and have them think independently about making choices in their work and how they can create individuality in their work. It’s fascinating to watch that development. This year I’ve also learned a lot from my work experience mentors and lecturers, and I’ve by no means finished learning. Besides my work experience projects last year, I also worked on a research project, a dissertation and a practical subject. I carried out my research at Sint-Maartens college. I studied how reflection is applied in the substructure within
Art and Culture lectures and how that is given shape. I looked for potential improvement as well. During the moment of reflection, one distances oneself from the immediate goings on and, for example, meaning (content) and shape are brought into one context. The different formgiving effects are considered, and one’s own activities are placed in context with the activities of professional artists. By reflecting you learn to think critically yourself. As far as my dissertation is concerned, I studied the importance of cultural education and the place it occupies in today’s society. Will we keep appreciating art and culture, and thus cultural education, or will that trend be reversed? And what does that mean for society? When writing my dissertation I based myself on a book by Martha Nussbaum: “Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities.” When working on my practical subject I focused on three-dimen-
sional applied design. I started from the opposite: order chaos and made a series of vases in ceramics. I find playing with the fragility of the material fascinating. Using sound-insulating foam, I enclosed/ embraced/ protected the fragile vase. Work experience Hogeschool Zuyd Workshop “Metamorphosis”.

Graduation thesis About the installation with the geometrical grid The work is inspired by the cosmic powers of nature. The shape of the work is based on a molehill and a volcano. I associate a surface area with the freedom to move within the space. That in fact gives man control over the movement in the space. I have depicted man’s control by using the horizontal and vertical lines, which together form a geometrical grid, as the surface area. These straight forms can be associated with the reasoning power of man that is able to create order. The work depicts the derangement of that human order and the loss of control through the surface area that is constantly in motion. The horizontal and vertical lines, through which an ominous, mysterious light shines, suggest the fracture of a surface area and thus represent a poetic reference to a volcanic
power pushing magna up. With it, I point to a surface area that may break open at any moment. Within the horizontal and vertical lines appears a round, organic shape symbolising the power of nature. In other words: the work can be seen as a reaction to the conceited presumption of man to take overall control. By using the cosmic powers I show symbolically that change is absolute. In addition, this picture makes reference to an unknown universe full of unknown powers that will always keep creating amazement. The work plays on the boundary of mystical beauty and vulnerability. About the installation with beamer projection A perfect circle is perceptible in the work. This shape symbolises the order and perfection of man. The fire can in turn be seen as a cosmic or physical power. Nor-
mally spoken, that power moves based on the laws of nature. In that case, the burning of this circle is completely controlled and steered. But, despite that control, change is a fact that man cannot escape. Change does not stand apart from the concept of space. To make the imagery more interesting I opted to make the circle three-dimensional via reflections. The picture is process – like by nature because it’s a construction requiring an action to set it in motion. After that action the picture creates itself and a question is thrown up as to what extent man is in control? I see the physical process of combustion as a power that moves boundlessly. In that case, the fire keeps moving controlled. There is a style apparent in every work of simplicity, austerity and mysticism. The minimalist imagery and time/change form the thread through the series.

When designing a product you have to take account not only of the production, the costs and not least the user of the product, but also of the ultimate fate of the product, also called “waste”. In my product one may only speak of “waste” as in the Cradle to Cradle principle “waste = food”, whereby the waste (thus when furniture is thrown away) can be used again with the same values by returning it to nature in that it is biodegradable. The furniture I designed is intended for the
new city hall of the municipality of Venlo, which will be realised in 2014. This building was designed based on the Cradle to Cradle principle. The product is a 1:1 scale model intended to stand in the public space of the city hall. The furniture is designed such that it can be placed in several ways, for example by pushing several pieces of furniture together to make one big piece of furniture. If it goes into production, it must be made to be completely biodegradable.

Once I had successfully finished my mbo Fashion and Design course (lower vocational education) and hbo Product and Jewelry Design (higher vocational education) I decided that all I wanted to do was pass on my knowledge. That’s why I chose to study how to become a fine arts and design teacher.
During the course I completed a number of different internships. My first internship was at “Aan de Bron Elementary School” in Weert, which is a large school with a lot of different nationalities. My next internship was at Philips van Horne High School in Weert. At this school, I taught drawing and handicrafts. I enjoyed teaching pupils new techniques and preparing them for their exams and admission to art school. My final internship was at the School of Fashion at roc Eindhoven, a lower vocational education facility. During my studies, I researched ways of improving how the Philips van Horne High School prepares its pupils for going to art school.
My thesis deals with new materials, techniques, designers and artists who could be a source of inspiration for the arts courses at the high school. Subjects that come up include laser cutting, rapid prototyping and street art. As subject for the practical part of my course, I choose the theme of Powerlessness and researched the best ways of portraying it. Powerlessness is a feeling, not a position. It makes you feel trapped, but there is a solution to your problems. I want to inspire and motivate pupils and help them get the best out of themselves. Apart from teaching, I also design and produce jewelry and bags for my own company, “Kristel”.

My name is Lizet Peeters and I am 23 years old. I am creative, have a philosophical outlook and am a proud Limburger! I am direct, but honest, always good company. I know what I want and, most of all, know what I don’t want. I feel happy in my own world and have clear-cut opinions and vision on society and people. This is reflected in my final-year work.
With this work, I aim to go out with a bang! I want to show what I’ve been doing and have my own story to tell. I have called my work “2012”, which is based on the end of the world as predicted by the Mayan culture. It is a mistaken picture which has been accepted unthinkingly. If one makes the effort to study the history of the Mayas, one soon comes to realise that the story about the end of the Mother Earth is complete nonsense. The world is not going to end, in fact the world (and with it its inhabitants) are entering a new age. 21 December 2012 will mark the transition to this new age and the calendar will start afresh. According to some, humans will have a greater awareness of
things. Of themselves, of each other and of the natural world. It will be a transition from a society based on power and wealth to one which is socially and environmentally aware. An era of peace and happiness will rise following a period of war and sorrow. As for myself, I like this fantastic vision, but slightly too fantastic to believe. My 3-part work shows the transition from a figure with a lustful appearance, transmogrified by greed to a figure which is open to change, is aware of the beauty of Mother Earth: the evolution of a new person. Between these two extremes is an image which is looking the other way as a result of which it is blind to matters of real import.

I seek the borders of the internal and the external looking for an answer to my own extreme visions on the notion of beauty. The internal creeps like a macabre monster through all the glitter and glamour if this mask is worn too long. Blood is the red line running through my graduation work. It is the colour red that makes it so special, the colour of most meanings. Blood stands for murder, birth. For hate and love. But that is only how you see it as a human being. Ultimately, blood is the red thread running through our
entire life in kilometre – long veins and making sure we are protected and kept alive. With my illustrations I want to depict drops of blood as the good friends that they are to us. Internship Adriaan Holstschool in Bergen Luzac Lyceum in Haarlem For the entire work experience period I opted myself to follow an education project. Ten years from now Within ten years, I hope to have seen more of the world and to have continued studying the
subjects that interest me, such as art history, cosmetology, graphic design or illustration. My dream is still to draw a children’s book and publish it. If that succeeds within ten years I will have found my place. Ultimately, I expect to be able to develop myself as a good lecturer, and that I can do this job in parallel to carrying out my own projects and raising my children. Something like that? Who knows what the future will bring for me, it’s only just beginning so I will first gather more worldly wisdom over the next 10 years before I decide where and how I see myself.

My name is Noëlle Vossen and I graduated this year as a teacher of visual arts and design. After qualifying I hope to work in secondary education as an art teacher. To me it represents an enormous challenge working with this age category. Not only will I be able to give pupils new ideas, but during my training practice I discovered that there are enough things that I can learn from them too. In addition, I spend a lot of time with my camera. In around five years’ time I’d like to start my own photography studio alongside my work as a teacher. Animal photography appeals to me in particular, but I am always
open to new experiences. Experiences are what shape your life and make you what you are. For that reason, I hope to gain a lot of experience both teaching and photography. My final year project was for photography. My work is based on the concept of loneliness. Most people when they think of loneliness think of old people at home. I, on the other hand, think back to my own loneliness which I carried with me as a teenager for half my life. I know I’m not the only girl to have felt lonely in my teenage years. I have tried to visualise those moments and emotions in a series of five photographs.

The peculiar thing about this collection is that is consists of two repeated shapes, and, together with a cover, forms a stool, lamp or side-table. When there are too few places to sit, the lamp can be taken as a seating object. Manufactured from birch plywood using computer-programmed cutting techniques, this stool is 100% machine-worked and is supplied as a flat-pack. The Multi Grid is characterised by its perfect constructional grid which can only be attained with the precision of these modern cutting techniques.

Thesauri past The earlier arts, techniques and science are central in this final work. I want to show people the value of earlier opinions in these disciplines. These are often forgotten in the search for renewal. The final work consists of three pictures. One central picture that shows old values being brought back into the world and two pictures showing the decay within the disciplines. In the middle piece the rise is specified on the old technique, on the left-hand side of the series the decline of the arts within architecture is visible, and on the right-hand side is information from science in the form of a library on fire. All this is executed by realising images in paintings in oils, which are then printed by means of a silkscreen technique. This made it possible to combine different techniques that have developed over the course of the years.

For my final project I started thinking about design in general. Due to the current crisis and the eco trend designers are making simple, innovative, democratic, easy to use designs. But I think that with this trend much creativity, and possibly more importantly, the objectivity is lost. Design is going through a lot of changes in this period of time, and I find these evolutions interesting to further investigate, and to develop from a concept into a book. I decided to distinguish between altruistic and selfish design as two human traits which can be traced back to design. What’s the difference between some art and design? What makes the difference between them, and how can design be altruistic?
Ten years from now Later I hope to work as much as possible with every aspect of design. I like to think of solutions and work with graphic design a lot. To me the combination of these two is important.

Based on the uncomfortable men’s shoe, which allowed me to discover the world of art and grow into the person I am now. In Holland staat een huis There is a house in Holland Ask children to build their future home en chances are that they’ll want to create a play space in their house. That makes sense, because a house stands for being together, cosiness and intimacy. Being active and passive play a big role in every house. Moments of rest alternate with movement. It’s a bit like the weather in our watery country. Every day it’s different, every day it’s surprising. We’ve found a balance in that over the years. And that’s how it should be in our house and its immediate environment. Being active outdoors, doing sports or
playing, inside a reaction to the action. In every house there’s wooden beam you can attach something to. However modern, classical, big or small it is. You don’t need any more than two holes. And rock. Wonderful movement, drifting off a little in your familiar environment. A swing based on the construction of a box of dominoes. Available in stores as a box with the ropes already in it. For outdoors an active swing, for indoors a hanging object to relax in, study in, or for just having a bit of a chat. Graduating. Widening one’s gaze beyond Opening yourself up to the future. Having a keen eye for what’s happening around you. Not simply being bold enough to gaze beyond the bounds of what’s possible, but actually crossing these borders, both literally and metaphorically. Societies, economies and cultures are becoming ever closer. The windows of the
world are wide open. New media are making the world smaller and bringing it into our homes. It’s this world I want to discover, because I’m convinced that a willingness to expose yourself to other cultures not only leads to professional diversification, but personal development too. Taking the initiative, gaining experience, learning to work independently in a strange environment, harnessing opportunities and overcoming threats: each and every one of them represents an element of learning which contribute to my social development. But equally as important is the professional interplay with other internationally minded students, teachers, designers and related institutes. I see this as a challenging moment of learning so that I can continue to develop my own artistic vision over the coming years. Internship Kiki van Eijk in Eindhoven

“Everything you view with love, is beautiful.”
My name is Karina Bergmann. I’m interested in the beauty of imperfection, smudge, growth and randomness. Things that are normally just thrown away because they aren’t good enough anymore, or have flaws, inspire me to breathe new life into them. I see beauty in these deficiencies and keep them to explore them even further and give them a place in our streamlined world. I’m looking out for old materials and furniture that I can give a new character. I especially like to work with wood and fabrics and draw a lot of inspiration from material samples and sheer manual exploration.
Speckmantel “Everything you view with love, is beautiful” People who carry a heavier burden, often have a harder time in life. They have to fight prejudices and aren’t considered beautiful. With the fat blanket, I wanted to show how beautiful it can be, not to conform to the general ideal. If you get to grips with yourself, you feel well and are highly regarded. You radiate beauty from inside.
Baba-Sportsbag for little kickers Baba was a contract job for Hema. In 2011 they were looking for fresh ideas in the arena of sports and play. Baba is a sportsbag shaped like a football with elastic carrying cords. You can’t just put your clothes inside, but also play with it. While other footballs roll away, Baba stays attached to the body. This makes it an ideal toy for the walk home or to the sports club.

Beware! Bunny! “Beware! Bunny!” originated under the theme Ceramic Toy. It’s more of a decorative room element than a toy and represents in its appearance the German saying “to pull the fur* over the rabbits ears**,” albeit in a slightly morbid but ironic manner. To reinforce the connection to the toy topic, I chose the form of a plush bunny that children like to cuddle, to which I then added the original fur of a stuffed animal, so you can now literally pull the fur over the ceramic effigy’s ears. Theme: Ceramic Toy Material: casting clay, laser, Rabbit Fur: plush fake fur (polyester/synthetic).
Cocoon “Cocoon” is one of my favourite works. The giant plush moth uses its four wings to wrap around its holder, embracing them. At the same time, the plump body of the animal is big enough to cuddle and hold tight to your body. This piece of work is an oversized stuffed soft toy for adults, designed to be held onto and cuddled so as to feel warmth. So the moth acts as a healing balm for the soul. In the same way a child likes to carry their favourite stuffed animal with them, the moth design includes a built-in Cocoon so that the adults can take it with them anytime, anywhere, but without giving the impression they are carrying a cuddly toy with them. A pouch that doubles up as a backpack which the moth fits into, in turn stored within the underside of the animal. Theme: “Inner Beauty” meets “Playing Doctor”. Material: fake fur, fake leather, plush, cotton wool, polyester.
Ten years from now That’s difficult to answer. Once I complete my studies, I would like to further my education rather than becoming self-employed. There is still so much to learn. However in ten years, I could imagine or would like to see myself producing and marketing my own products, possibly selling them in my own shop. For me, it’s simply important to be able to make what I love and have fun at work whilst not losing sight of the fact you also need financial stability to survive. So for instance, I can imagine working for a company or getting a creative foothold in a productive environment to be just as good to realize my ideas.

I would love to have got experience in a team, because in my internships I also noticed how much I like to work with other people towards a final result. To be able to share this. I would like to keep doing this, as well as working independently. I also dream of seeing my products in the home of someone I don’t know. Just the idea gives me a funny feeling in my stomach. Another ten years to go, so many expectations. Hopefully, when I read this again in ten years, I’ll be self-employed and doing what I love most, making ‘beautiful’ and interesting things. Because that’s what it all comes down to for me.

Gluttony These small sculptures are inspired by the communication between the body and the mind. Despite knowing that these strawberries are absolutely inedible, you still get an urge to eat them. This comes from the mix of edible and inedible materials. Material: porcelain, hundreds and thousands, apple fondant, plastic, cinnamon, almond shavings, glass pearls and many, many more. Treasiormap Treasiormap was a project in which I went back to my childhood. I wanted to give my most precious childhood memories a special place, which led me to designing a treasure map with a hidden message. The finished product became a double bedspread that children could play with. The bedspread is made up of many different layers. Each layer has had bits cut out of it to reveal the layers underneath. If you hold the bedspread up to the light, you can see the hidden message. Material: textiles
Making choices The name of the project says it all: having to make choices was the source of my inspiration. Having too much choice can be suffocating sometimes. Imagine being a small child in an enormous sweet shop and you are only allowed to choose one sweet. Once you have decided which one to choose, you will always feel like you have made the wrong choice. I used the suffocating sweetness of this dilemma as a metaphor and as the inspiration for the collar. Material: textiles and marshmallows

Each product I design is a reflection of myself. I’m often creating jewellery I like to wear myself, hoping that someone else will too. According to my experience and own ideas, I don’t believe that fashion should always be so serious. In my view it’s meant to be fun, breaking the traditional norms and living your individual style. Therefore, I make jewellery for adults, but with a touch of inspiration from my childhood.

Droom! Dream! Design for final exam project Joske Joosten, born 6 September 1989: sleepy head, day dreamer, imaginative and creative. Which is why the theme Dream! is such an obvious choice. The way each and every one of us enters into the wonderful world of dreams when night falls, is just fascinating; a dream world that we create subconsciously. Sometimes it is an inexplicable world that seems to come from a far. I want to be able to design my own dreams. And the best place to do this is the place where they originate from.

Men are not women; each with his own specific and essential qualities: equal (not the same) but different. This equilibrium is out of balance because the world is becoming more feminised at such a rapid pace. The media is becoming more feminised; the economy, our norms and values, education and our upbringing. The media and society are pushing men into role patterns that are not always easy.

Following that tradition, Elisabeth herself makes and designs jewellery out of hand forged silver and mouth-blown glass. They are characterized by a playful design and a great amount of colouring. Humour is the main ingredient of her work. Besides her (international) recognition and an ever expanding fan base, she has been promoted since 2008 by “Design Flanders�.

Back to basics with a modern look best describes my work. Nature fascinates me due to its melodious vitality and the way in which time and restfulness lead to a natural balance. In my designs, I go back to basics in search of the essence and the inner soul of a design. The diversity and inquisitiveness behind the appearance of nature, craftsmanship, culture and the relationship between nature and technology play a key role in this.
Ten years from now Only time will tell. Whatever happens, I hope to do my work with as much passion and pleasure as I do now, to be working with other designers and/or artists and to be enjoying life to the full.

Malle Ringenijzer The mandrel. Resulting from a former project where I searched for new methods for the production of rings in ceramics, where the (possibly serial) production by means of moulds played an important role, consists Malle Ringenijzer of a new mode of production that doesn't involve moulds, but where the mandrel plays again a central role. This own production method, a crossing of “old-fashioned� sewing machines and video montage equipment as drive mechanism, combined with the mandrel as work surface, relies on the way how bobbins are manufactured, the wrapping of yarn, but whilst other materials also and their application. This ultimately results not only in a platform with new possibilities for making rings. But also especially shows that the tools we use to make something can be as equally interesting and aesthetic as the final product.

About my work I do not make conventional jewellery. I would rather describe my own work as objects that relate to the body. This is because I am fascinated by the contours of the body. When you combine this with my preference for using textiles, the distinction between jewellery, accessory, fashion and object becomes blurred.
Final exam project “Familiebanden” (Family Ties) Family ties are relationships; relationships that you are born with. They develop and are often tested. Sometimes they grow and sometimes they weaken. Sometimes they will even break. It is a bond between people that can take on many different forms. By giving these relationships a tangible form and by making them visible to the human eye, one is confronted with emotions that he/she might normally be inclined to hide or even take for granted.

I live in two worlds. One is the world that is visible to all, in which I am who I am. Nothing more. Though sometimes I get a glimpse of a world which is beautiful, which is pure and somehow holy. This is the world of fiction. It arises at the sight of a painting, a play or in my dreams. A world I love to create and behold. Time and space are bridged by the separation between audience and stage; a portal to a whole new world.

Theatre stands for the collaboration between directing, drama and artistic impression, which is what the department of stage scenery and costume design is all about. We learn about how to make scenery, build models, incorporate the theatrical aspects and from that point on, how to create room for the actors. Theatre is teamwork.
J.W.Goethe, Faust 1 Concept: my scenery for Faust shows the world in the way that Faust sees the world. He is a man of science. The area that you come in to exemplifies a structural balance; without any carpets for example. Which is why I have chosen a structure that the actors can move around freely in, and in which shadows can be projected onto the transparent walls when the actors move their bodies.

I’m fascinated by the fact that people and their feelings appear to be unchangeable. Only their environment, their culture and their outward appearance seem to differ from what they once were. In the fact that a hundred years ago people were confronted with the same fundamental questions as we are in the present, though without being any wiser or more ignorant.
I find a source of inspiration, from which a pool of wisdom and experience is obtained. In the engagement with this subject matter lies my true fascination with theatre.

room = stage room = place room = security room = light room = personal space room = quiet
What creates the space we occupy? What makes our space so special? What makes a space a theatre? What is a stage? Does it always have four walls? There are so many ways that we can create a space and how we can give shape to something. There are so many different spaces and so many opinions about creating spaces for just one single purpose – for making theatre. I seek out places for creating theatre, where theatre can be acted out. These are places and situations which provide us with the opportunity to express and demonstrate whatever we want. My spaces all have clean lines and angles. Simple, but meaningful. It
provides space and attention for the objects that are found within that space. Sometimes, once only, sometimes repeated. I usually work with few colours, only the colour of the light and the natural colours of the material. With light, transparency, shadows, anything can help to transform a space without changing the attributes.

Costume design based on Shakespeare’s sonnets The idea behind this design is to try to express a sense of vulnerability and a fear of mortality. The loss of beauty over time and human weakness in relation to this are frequent themes in Shakespeare’s sonnets. The theatre is a place where social issues can be addressed and discussed. In other words, if people are engaged in social issues and want to determine their position on such issues, the theatre offers a stage for disclosure, scrutiny, discussion and reflection. What makes the theatre so unique is that it allows for this “debate” with a sensory experience. This means that it’s simultaneously about feeling, abstract thought, imagination and personification.
Costume design gives me the opportunity to add another dimension that also has an effect on the script. This allows me to come up with my own interpretation for every role in the play. While analysing the play, I am primarily interested in the different characters, the possibilities of persons, of thoughts and of personality traits. These creations, together with the words spoken and the specific roles, makes it complete. It’s fascinating!

I like the unconventional which is real. Streetlife is often so strange that pavements provide us with a stage. It is an interplay of first impressions, clichés and stereotypes which are condensed to the very essentials for a stage. The social aspects and the way it reflects society are important for me and playing with the identity of a personage represents a challenge.
For me, the comic operetta, the Mikado, by Gilbert and Sullivan is politically topical and is a manifestation with icons from the Dutch parliament, Queen’s Day, secondary school pupils and the confusing official merry-goround. Real Dutch chaos. Shakespeare’s sonnets represent a special tale of the transience of beauty, faith and love. My costume for the Fair Youth has been stitched using wire, which at first looks fine and taut, but which will bend and crease as soon as the young man, worshipped for his marble – like beauty, starts to move. In the course of the poem, the costume will become irrevocably less and less attractive.
Summerfolk by Maxim Gorki is a surrealist play in which the characters in their dachas constantly chatter about the following winter when they will be back in their townhouses and will have no contact with each other. The characters are obsessed with this notion of impending doom and no longer inhabit the here and now which causes a great deal of tragedy. For that reason, my summerfolk wear thick protective winter clothing in the warm summer sun.

“The function of art is to make reality impossible.” Heiner Müller
I am Anna Schurau, 28 years old and I have been studying costume and stage-design at the Drama Academy in Maastricht. In three years’ time I have learned how I have to visualise a play or other kind of stage performance. The studies were usually carried out as part of a team, with a good mix of theory and practice being taught. In my final year I focused on Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the sonnets of William Shakespeares and Summerfolk by Maxim Gorki.
Faust The idea for a stage design for Faust was inspired by the world of pick-up artists in America. I focused on Faust, Mephisto and Gretchen and their respective relationships. For me, the main theme was seduction, both active and passive. My task was to design 14 steps which could be reversed by the actors so that the interior and exterior of the houses could be shown.
Summerfolk I am particularly inspired by the swimwear and casual wear of the early 1920s. The stage is a greenhouse which is hermetically sealed. The space has 6 sloping components which can be shifted by the actors themselves. Sonnets For the sonnets I designed three costumes, in which I was inspired solely by Shakespeare’s sonnets.

With theatre it is possible to create a new world. My aim is to enchant the audience. Theatre is a mix of many different elements. There are so many aspects which can be linked and combined in such a way that something new emerges. For example, spoken text, music, light, visual effects and a lot more too. The process of the work is likewise important for me. Theatre begins the moment the actors enter the stage. It is a relationship between the production team and the actors, and later between the actors and the audience.
During my studies, I learned to discover and understand the specific themes within the plays so that these can be subsequently visualised. It is not only important to effectuate the imagery, but the concept and the interpretation are likewise important. Irrehole Irrelohe is an opera that was written and composed by Franz Schreker in the early 1920s. It tells the story of the inhabitants of a cursed village and how the older and younger generations deal with the tragedies which have taken place there in the past. I tried to find images in combination with the music, and used light and shadow to good effect. Using an old factory as a backdrop and a heap of waste in the foreground, I made the link with topical aspects in modern-day society.
Final year project For my final year project, I designed three costumes, inspired by the sonnets of Shakespeare, where I used bookbinder’s gauze, nori sheets (seatang) and vliesseline. Summerfolk For Summerfolk, a play by Maxim Gorki, I created three different characters.

It is my aim in my work to touch people. Theatre is very powerful if it provokes feelings and affects people emotionally. I want to help bring about situations which have this kind of potential. This is possible because I can create stages and costumes which produce these emotions. I oversee both of these artistic processes to open up new perspectives, while I create my own picture, my own world for the piece. At this point, unexpected meanings show up on a regular basis. Sometimes there are also dissonances, which demonstrate inner conflicts amongst characters or they are a mirror of society as a whole. This contemporary view on the piece is meant to serve as a bridge for the audience and also as an opportunity to give birth to new spaces of thinking.
Internship I did my practical training at the Stadttheater in Heidelberg, Germany. I joined the Schauspieleröffnungswochenende (theatre open weekend) which was held under the slogan “Don’t believe the hype!” I designed costumes and a theatrical room of my own for the theatre piece entitled “Erreger” written by Albert Ostermaier. I was also responsible for costumes and props for various performances.

Umberto Eco’s “Platon im stripteaselokal”. Book Design and posterDesign The ideal and its unattainability are the theme of this book design. As the stripper Lily Niagara in Umberto Eco’s Essay “Platon im Stripteaselokal” is denying the observer’s desire, the book refuses any display of content. Thus the barred book represents the ideal; the moment I try to possess it, I’ll have to destroy it. An irreversible act which is attached to the sore feeling of loss, visualised by the rip and the red wound of the book.
For art As an answer to the ongoing cutbacks in the government’s promotion of the arts, this series of postcards illustrates the falsification of meaning that results from “cutting” an art piece. Shoes Personal growth and development are visualised in this book, on behalf of the ever-changing shoes that we wear while walking the path of life.

It’s a versatile profession, and every day you’re faced with new challenges. I don’t always know what kind of problem I will be asked to solve for our clients, but that’s also why I like working at g&p, and as a graphic designer.
In the future I hope to be working at a design agency, but not only with design but also with concepts and communicative solutions. I would like to have my own team of illustrators and designers, but also work with people from different disciplines in a more integrated way. For my final examination I’ll make a little book about lying. It’s not the usual literature, it’s more like a guide for people to teach them how to successfully lie and thus get what they want.

Her morning elegance Her morning elegance is one of my favourite songs, written by artist and composer Oren Lavie. It deals with a young woman, fighting every day against loneliness: “And she fights for her life as she goes in a store, With a thought she has caught by a thread, she pays for the bread and she goes. Nobody knows.” Her morning elegance, the feelings while waking up, the sun outside and the loneliness in her heart create a sort of fairy-tale atmosphere in the song. The vanitas like breakfast table transmits these vibes to the viewer. The whole song text is incorporated in the picture, from the jam jar via the newspaper through to the coffee grounds.
Energy is in the air Renewable energy is getting more and more important today. Wind power is a clean alternative generating energy in an ecological way, but in the past it was always associated with big wind turbines everywhere, destroying the landscape. An Australian comapany introduced a new technique, generating wind energy with kites. Kites are more flexible than turbines and are able to generate twice as much energy. The exercise: Create a name, an adequate corporate identity and an advertising campaign for the company. The claim, energy is in the air, shows the simplicity of generating energy with the help of wind power while the blue sky metaphor demonstrates the cleanliness.
Typographic quiz Typography surrounds us in everyday life, but the majority of people don’t notice it. Especially in supermarkets, the description of products isn’t possible without typography. The typographic quiz shows how manipulation with the help of letters can work without people noticing. Typography is more than the addition of letter sounds, it can appear to be either cheap or expensive, old or new, young or adult, kind or aggressive, hot or cold. Of particular importance is the fact that the typographic effect on people also exists if the person doesn’t know anything about typography. The result of the quiz shows that everyone knows something about typography and can be influenced. Typography is as persuasive as pictures, but the manipulation is more dangerous, because typographic manipulation happens unconsciously.

Eric Gill-Das Märchen eines Typografen I researched the life of Eric Gill. In this process I discovered some nice things about him and his life, but also a very dark side of him. So I decided to show both sides: the black and the white side of Eric Gill. While the story already merges both, I wanted to make it even more diffuse. That‘s why I described his life as a fairy tale.
My name is Marielle Pagnia and I‘m from Aachen, Germany. I study graphic design and my passion is printwork. I love to make books and magazines – everything that has to do with typografie and pictures. So I‘ll show you one of my first books, the first project, where I was able to show my own style. The task was to design the biography of a typographer. My assigned typographer was Eric Gill with his font Gill Sans.

Project Daarom Project That’s Why Musica Sacra is an annual festival for religious music in Maastricht. We worked in a group to prepare an exposition for this particular festival. The theme was: De Vreugde der Wet – De Last van de Vrijheid. (Rejoicing with the Law – The Burden of Freedom). This theme led us to choose an issue relating to art that we could put to the audience as well as to ourselves. In contrast to movements like Dadaism or the Cobra Movement artistic movements like De Stijl (The Style) had strict rules. We would like to find out whether or not rules enrich art or whether or not they destroy it. We are going to do this by drawing up a manifest with a number of absurd rules. This research is part of the exposition and will be composed of visual and audio fragments.
Colonial Government Annual Report The concept for this annual report related mainly to the word communication. More specifically, l.j.p.m. Frissen used this annual report to communicate his activities as governor to the citizens. We used various punctuation marks and letters as illustrations in the report in order to emphasise the concept.
Ten years from now When I have successfully completed this study, I will start a ma course in Graphic Design. Subsequently, I would like to gain some work experience. Ultimately I would love to own my own graphic design agency

Dagritmekaarten Daily schedule charts For this project I decided to make a series of daily schedule charts for children with pdd-nos. In order to give it a positive appearance, I decided to use the same character with a big smiley face for all of the activities. I also used a lot of colour to make it attractive to children. Senses With this series of illustrations, I tried to depict the five different senses. I used various techniques both analogue and digital. I enjoy playing with realistic elements and then combining these with highly stylised elements. This gives an exciting result.
Internship My first work experience placement was with Ingrid Friesen. I spent two months working with her. She is a freelance illustrator who does a lot of children’s illustrations. I also really like making children’s illustrations and would like to continue with it once I have graduated. My second placement was with Adri van Geldere’s The Reps agency. I spent two months there and really learned a lot about the commercial side of the job. My final placement was in the Just do It tattoo shop where I spent a month learning the basics of tattooing. All of my work experience placements were very different which has given me a good impression of the kind of possibilities that are out there.
Ten years from now In ten years’ time, I see myself working as a tattoo artist and an illustrator. I would very much like to specialise in, and become very good at portraits. I would also like to own my own business.

She always has to make a scene My work is mainly about creating a certain atmosphere, which ends up mostly as a surreal situation. I like to put things in different perspective, playing with the function and use of objects is recognisable for my work. By illustrating with objects, I try to create a set design that makes people wonder. Photography is the main key in all of this, but I often combine more mixed media techniques because I still love working with real materials. My style is about creating an illusion, with a dark sense of humour and an overload of imagination.
Internship Beyond the Valley. Two months internship in print, London based concept store. Mary Katrantzou. Five months internship at a London based fashion label.
Ten years from now In ten years I’ll be 33. I have absolutely no clue as to what I’ll be doing at that point, but I hope I’ll be enjoying life even more than I do now. Since I have a lot of imagination, I can see myself as a successful designer, flying all over the world and collaborating with great people. I would like to make incredible set designs for fashion shoots, where I can be as creative as I want to, because I definitely have enough imagination. But, you know, a lot can happen in ten years.

Manual work instead of pixel pushing I like to work with haptic materials and not just computer programs “just because one has to work with them nowadays.” The hardest decision during my studies was to find out if I wanted to do illustration or “Autonomous Art.” One day I just decided to invent a combination, which I call “Autonomous Illustration.” In my work I like the connection between things which totally don’t belong with each other. And tiny hidden details which one at first doesn’t recognise but may discover at second glance. Drawing has become something I automatically do in my daily life: When I sit somewhere and have a few minutes, I subconsciously
look for a pen and paper. It just happens all by itself. Apart from illustration I work with spray cans. I like to play with the combination of those two techniques: To work on walls like it would be a tiny piece of paper, to mix it up and get away from the graffiti cliché. I do commissioned and autonomous works on walls, cars and other objects. I don’t like to put a deep message in everything I do. Sometimes it’s just to get further down the road, just optimising shapes and perfecting elements, because getting things done fulfils me.

My name is Joanna and my passion is art. My medium is video even though I have specialised in photography and for my final exam I am working with a concept that is about the dilemma surrounding the word Nigger. I did my work experience in the us, where I became even more interested in the word after having seen the reactions I got when using it. Why is it less of a taboo in The Netherlands and why has time stood still in the us? I am stuck in the middle and do not want to/cannot choose sides.
I see my research as an essential question as to my own identity and am trying to find out why the word Nigger is one of the most insulting words in the world. My film work is based on how my, “models” respond to the word and the situation. I film their body language in order to find out whether or not it really is less of a taboo in this country. Everything I have discovered is on show in the exhibition.

Symbiose Symbiosis is close and often long-term interaction between different biological species, “the living together of unlike organisms.” This series shows how I’m trying to live together with nature. In this artwork nature is shown as a metaphor for all the unknown and new things in my life. And the more I get involved with nature, the more damage I sustain. It’s taking control of my whole mind, and everything I stand for will vanish. In short, the only species I can best live with is myself.
Internship I did my internship in Amsterdam, with an awesome photographer. Her name is Elza Jo (van Reenen). Ten years from now I really don’t know. Whatever comes my way, I’ll accept it. My dream, of course, is to live and work as a photographer in Berlin. Well, who knows.

Back to the Roots The name of my documentary is a working title. Sebastian Zecevic has a problem with his last name as he always has to spell it letter by letter when he introduces himself.

In the end, Sebastian Zecevic leaves the power, magic and mystery of our names behind, and how our personal identity conforms to it. He gives us an impression of what home could be like.

Ten years from now Where I think I will be in ten years’ time. That is a good question. I started my own company in scientific illustration in March 2011 (ManonProject Scientific Illustrations). Of course I hope that in the future this will be a successful and reliable business specialised in various disciplines and diverse techniques. I also hope that I will have grown in my personal capabilities: refining various drawing techniques but also digital techniques like the 3d techniques I will soon be learning on my course. And of course, I hope to gain lots of experience in the meantime. You come into contact with so many different facets within scientific and medical fields that it’s absolutely fascinating!

“Klankstad”-theatre re-(dis)covered The project “Klankstad” theatre re-(dis)covered is about transforming and converting the theatre in Kerkrade into a cultural centre. Situated in a town with 48,000 inhabitants, in a town with an identity, in a town with a passion. The theatre complex no longer functions as part of the town. What was once meant as a big gesture and a focal point has been diluted over the years and is now deserted. The shopping centre is characterised by its emptiness. Intrinsically, the theatre has been turned inside out and can no longer pull a crowd from the surrounding area.

“Letting go in the inbetween.”
Terrain Vague The former Vermicelli factory on the Grote Looiersgracht canal in the centre of Maastricht has been forced to close down. The area with its numerous buildings is empty and waiting for a new designation. Cars are parked here and there. The old factory chimney keeps the memory of the place alive. This “hidden urban room”, better known as the “Bauduinterrein” has managed to survive a powerful past. “Landscape”, “craftsmanship” and “industry” follow one another across thousands of years. Built against the first city walls (1229), this room has been shaped by the course of the Jeker River. Only one branch still bears witness to this, but from the pattern of the streets, one can clearly see the history of the course of a second branch. The room’s walls seem to isolate it like an island in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city of Maastricht. The world inside contrasts strongly to the hectic city around it. Ignasi de Sola Morales defines these empty, deserted spaces in our cities as “terrains vagues”, as landscapes that are “undefined, vague, blurry and insecure”. The French term “vague” also encompasses a sense of “movement, fluctuation, instability”. These indefinable spaces can have negative and positive sentimental values
in our collective consciousness. The absence of a purpose or activity in these post-industrial landscapes, the state of disrepair and desertedness, detaches them from the possibilities, the growth and vitality of the rest of the city. Simultaneously, these places offer an opportunity to experience the city in a different way. These holes in the city make room for us to develop imaginary landscapes, which in turn blurs the divide between perception and reality. These places become areas of transformation, no longer ignored or deserted but still insecure and of a transitory nature. The challenge to this kind of space is how to develop an approach that relates to the place and that can strengthen its existing qualities. These qualities are not simply architectural but their position in relation to social activities has almost certainly conquered a place in the public consciousness too. The design strategy therefore needs to consist of not only urban, architectonic and structural guidelines that are fitting to the surrounding landscape, but programmatic generators for social activities are also very important here too. The word hospitium is still used today to mean a house or institution that provides palliative care to
Maarten Huls
people with a short life expectancy, and in this case is also called a hospice: a place to stay between two journeys, life and death: a temporary place to stay. In a modern hospitium, patients with an incurable, terminal illness are given medical treatment that focusses on pain management and a dignified death. The hospice: a place for in between life and death. Work experience Atelier maarten, Founder/architect Neri & Hu nhdro Shanghai China, architectural designer Buro5 Maastricht, structural engineer/draftsman ’05 – ’07, assistant designer ’07 – ’09, architectural designer ’09 – ’11, project leader / architect ’11 – to date Ten years from now I cannot predict where I think I might be in ten years’ time: perhaps a successful independent architecture company with interesting and challenging projects, more knowledge and experience and still getting as much enjoyment out of designing spaces as much as I do today.

Chitwan I was given the privilege of being able to travel around Asia for a month during which I met a group of native women called the Tharus from Chitwan in Nepal who made a lasting impression on me. I noticed that there was little room for these women and children with their hopes and doubts, their ideals and restrictions, their certainties and uncertainties. Despite their difficult living conditions, I could see their willpower, optimism and beauty. And it was at that moment that it became clear to me that as an architectonic designer, I would like to improve living conditions universally, using innocent architecture. This type of architecture reflects the personal habits and traditions of a community instead of wanting to reform them. The technology will be subordinate to the social values and will be tuned to the common requirements of the women in the Tharu community. The materials from the Chitwan region will be woven into the
design meaning that I can retain the quality and the values that are inherent to the traditions and human responses to the climate. In this way, I will not be enforcing any kind of master plan nor institutional restructuring. Having said this, one should not ignore the fact that small changes can have large consequences. My goal is to establish necessary prerequisites, or, provide the respective services myself after thorough consideration of the actual reality of the situation. This means I will take the consciousness of the women in Chitwan into consideration by actually delving into their lives myself, in all their complexities and varieties. They have converted their desires and necessities into a conscious realisation of their competencies. This is why they are looking for a space that offers them the opportunity to be able to provide for themselves. It needs to be a place that they can go to for practising their handicrafts and textiles. I will also need to design a communal area and an area
for teaching. It is important to take how they live together into consideration when making the designs as well as their expectations. This is important because success often has a positive effect, spurring on continued success. In other words, once their situation starts to improve, so will their perceptions and their behaviour. I will listen to the women and try to understand their logic and their choices. The design will be an architectonic model that provides solutions for the desires and requirements of the Tharu women and will be built from an existing context, i.e. Chitwan, that I consider to be the “Interior�. Above all, the design makes it clear why hope is of such vital importance and why knowledge is essential. We keep looking for solutions even if the problems are impossible to solve. Success is not always as far away as it may sometimes seem.
