Wunderdinge

Angelika Hasse

2021 || Paperback || Diederik Gerlach e.a. || Eindeloos ontwerpen en uitgeven || met inkijkexemplaar

Angelika Hasse (Neunkirchen 1960) has lived in the Netherlands for 28 years.

Born and raised in the German Saarland, she completed studies of graphic design at the Fachhochschule in Mainz. She then moved to The Hague, where she worked as a graphic designer.

Following her heart, she chose to become an artist and took lessons at the Free Academy.

Given her years of experience in creating a combination of text and form on assignment, it is not surprising that text fragments appear in her work.

She is partly inspired by advertisements and commercials in magazines to which her parents subscribed. She thus playfully keeps in touch with her German background and language and pays tribute to the stylish design from the fifties and sixties, when craftsmanship had not yet been taken over by the computer...

Vlassenbroek __________ Broekkant A Schelde Riverscape

Vlassenbroek - Broekkant

Paperback || Wapke Feenstra || Jap Sam Books

De Schelde krijgt meer ruimte, dijken worden verlegd, het uitzicht verandert. Dat vraagt om beeldvorming. En iedereen tekent; de kunstenaar, de waterbouwkundige, de landschapsarchitect, ja zelfs de hengelaar maakt noti...

The artistic attitude

Allowing space for imagination and the ability to shape

2023 || Paperback || Anke Coumans || Jap Sam Books / Hanzehogeschool Groningen, Academie Minerva

‘In recent years, the practices of artists in non-artistic environments have set my mind in motion. Where before I could marvel at the visual outcomes of the artistic process and would want to understand how processes of creating meaning could be described, I am now particularly struck by the way in which artists are present, by their way of looking, how they make decisions, when and how they act, how they take responsibility. I have conversations with them and ask questions to better under...
