Het werk van Jaap Kroneman is verbonden met een haptische verbeelding. Zo is voor hem het ‘ontwerpen’ van een boek vooral een zoeken naar de grenzen van design codes, zoals het formaat van een boek, de oplage, de rug van het boek, verfspetters op achterplat, het ontbreken van een rechter kantlijn, de bindwijze, e.d. Op een tastbare manier worden techniek en materiaal provisorisch toegepast waarmee het boekontwerp naar een sprankelend niveau wordt opgetild.

During the Second World War, Jonas Mekas fled the Nazis, ending up in New York in 1949, where he became a key figure in experimental cinema. In “Remeniscences” brief and fragmentary impressions of his trip to Lithuania are depicted. He visited his old family home and reunites with his mother and other family members.
It was already summer, we left the village of Flensburg.
Ships were already sailing in the water-meadow, and
on the coastal piers, on the water, under the fishing boats
the warmth flickered.
And when we went on,
on and on, until we reached Glücksburg –
there, children were already splashing around,
wading through the dense forest of reeds.”

‘Born in 1971 in Chiang Mai, Navin Rawanchaikul is a Thai artist whose ancestral roots are from the Hindu-Punjabi communities of present day Pakistan. Questioning modern systems of artistic creation and presentation, Rawanchaikul has developed a unique and vast body of work that relies heavily on team spirit and collaboration, and is often produced under the banner of Navin Production, a studio he founded in 1994.’
