Jurkjes & Jason, 27 views on terrorism today |
||
| EINDHOVEN, 2 JUNE 2008 – Terrorism. Terror. Two words appearing more often in our society nowadays. What do they really mean? What is really so frightening about terrorism? And maybe even more important, what is the effect of terrorism on our tiny little country? Terrorism is boring, as boring as a parrot Students of the Eindhoven Design Academy, Faculty of Man and Communication, have worked on a project about the representation of terrorism under the guidance of designer and teacher Annelys de Vet. In collaboration with Freek Lomme, director of Eindhoven based presentation-institution and publishing company Onamatopee, a book and exposition became the result of this. Through beautiful pictures and designs the students give view in the way our society is in the grasp of the term terrorism. They have researched the most diverse subjects, resulting in an explosion of interpretations of this hot and important theme. The current term terrorism in this way is being got by the short hairs. Who or what is terrorizing your life? Maybe also your phone is a main terrorist and you try to hide this. How is the word terrorism being defined in daily life, used and disabused in the media? How does a terrorist type face look like? Hofstadgroep member Jason B. is discussed from an unexpected side, namely from an ex-classmate. How can terrorism be sold as a product? With human size and in human colors, the publication shows a diversity of subjective points of view, personal experiences and perceptions. Sometimes frivolous, sometimes poetic, but more often confronting. The book is entitled “Jurkjes & Jason (Dresses & Jason), 28 subjective views on terrorism” and will be partly in Dutch and partly in English. The edition will be printed in a small print run by printing company Lecturis and will be published by Onomatopee. A publication that will put into perspective our times of terror again. |
The book will be presented very spectacularly on Friday 20 June. At the same time the exhibition ‘ Jurkjes & Jason, 28 subjective views on terrorrism’ will be opened. Don’t miss it. Format: Price: ISBN: To be ordered at: Exhibition Opening & event onomatopee www.onomatopee.net More info: |
