La Biennale Arte di Venezia
All the Worlds Futures
In 2015 Okwui Enwezor, former director of Haus der Kunst Munich, curated the 56th Biennale Arte di Venezia. For All The Worlds Futures we designed the entire corporate design which was featured all over the city of Venice. The 960 pages exhibitions catalogue discusses the state of things as well as the appearance of things in two books on the curator’s intended topic Das Kapital by Karl Marx.

Hello, Robot.
The exhibition Hello, Robot. Design between Human and Machine undertakes an interdisciplinary look at robotics which reveals and discusses contradictions inherent to this new technology. We developed a layout algorithm, that placed the entire content, text and images, of the exhibition catalogue in a random layout and order in collaboration with Timo Rychert; resulting in a completely new idea of a book, far away from known conventions.

Making Africa
Making Africa – A Continent of Contemporary Design illustrates how design accompanies and fuels economic and political changes on the continent. The 344 pages exhibition catalogue reflects the diversity of an underrated and foresighted potential of African design and art scene. The exhibition tours around the world starting at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (Spain), followed by the CCCB in Barcelona (Spain), the Kunsthal Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and many more.

Jan Scharrelmann
Website
Viewing his new website is like standing right in front of his work: Scrolling very closely over materials, experiencing the structures – before stepping back and seeing the whole piece of art: sculptures, wall works or paintings. The play of the inbetween, back and forth, near and far refers to the large-scale sculptures and how the visitor is approaching Jan Scharrelmanns work.
