Workshop READSEARCH – PXL MUSIC immersive festival
From 17 to 19 May 2022, PXL MUSIC-Research and MAD-Research showed their facilities and research projects to their professional network. With external keynote speakers. Ann Bessemans and Janneke Janssen presented a workshop in search of an immersive experience: reading & listening. Within an immersive, interactive reading experience, we seek to apply techniques to improve reading, no matter what skill within reading. Note that our different ways of reading can play an important role. Establishing an immersive reading experience offers the potential to improve ‘reading comprehension’ by providing/constructing a ‘new’ framework of knowledge. In this workshop, Ann Bessemans and Janneke Janssen set up a content-based foundation to create an immersive reading experience (based on the program that is offered within MAD MUSIC) after delineated but varied sources that participants offer through dialogue and critical attitudes. For each of these sources (theoretical, visual, musical...), an image will be sought or designed. Participation is contingent upon the participants that have enjoyed at least one reading/performance. In concrete terms, we want to actively ‘build’ with participants towards a publication. In addition, we will discuss with participants what an immersive reading experience is and how we can link reading -and knowledge- benefits to it. -
FORMAT. Changing Attitudes – Z33
For the graphic design of the campaign and catalogue of the exhibition Format, Janneke Janssen started off with the title and subtitle of the exhibition, Changing Attitudes. She designed one ‘blue print’ that contains the total design of the campaign, which can be de-constructed and reformed by recycling its parts, keeping the same ratio’s. The implications of using a Riso duplicator, its limitation of two colours and folding and cutting the material, led to a process-based design methodology. The material and the design is used as a changing platform that can be divided or contracted and expanded. The publication contains sketches of the laureates projects and gives an inside into their (changing) attitudes towards design- and thinking processes. By giving inside into the process next to the final exhibited projects, the visitors’ perspective on the work and discern can be changed too, while looking, exploring and moving through the exhibition and the book from one point to the other. As an extra contextual and narrative layer in the book and exhibition, augmented reality is applied. Design and architecture are anything but gratuitous. The new edition of FORMAT centres on this crucial insight. The laureates of the group exhibition are adopting an almost activist approach at Z33. With ground-breaking concepts, they challenge visitors to reflect on news, fashion, microbial clouds, herbal medicine, residual space, artificial intelligence, weaving techniques, ruins and radio masts. To this end, they have forged alliances with experts both within and outside their fields and they challenge us to rethink the classical methods of design. Laureates: Cream on Chrome (Martina Huynh & Jonas Nepomuk), Lukas Claessens, Amandine David, Matthijs De Block, Sophia Holst, Legrand Jäger (Guillemette Legrand & Eva Jäger), Flora Miranda, Inès Leverrier Péborde, Bert Villa Graphic design: Janneke Janssen Scenography: Bram Vanderbeke Curator: Heleen Van Loon Photo's: Selma Gurbuz FORMAT is the coaching trajectory organized by Z33 for new and promising talent working in design and architecture. Every year, several designers are given the opportunity to enhance their artistic practice and to share knowledge and networks with one another. After a year of intensive coaching, all the designs are brought together in a group exhibition. Time and space are essential components of this learning process, enabling the participants to explore boundaries and unconventional approaches. Z33 is a refuge where free experimentation, learning and failing come together. Group exhibition 15.9 - 24.11.2019 www.z33.be- Award_2

Rite de passage
Graphic design, scenography, organisation and contribution. The exhibition ‘Rite de passage' featured typographic work from students who followed or are following (typo)graphic education in Hasselt. The exhibition showed: a) typefaces designed by bachelor and master students from the past 12 years at PXL-MAD School of Arts (under the supervision of Ann Bessemans and her READSEARCH colleagues); b) a set of splendid typographical artefacts created by students; Beside, Rite de Passage also gave a platform to: a) alumni who would like to exhibit more of their typographic work; b) student Kenneth Vanoverbeke who received a TDC scholarship; c) the work of Jos Geusens (former student of Kristoffel Boudens) a Belgian stone letter-carver who gives workshops in Hoepertingen. The exhibition took place from September 8th until September 21st. During the opening on September 13th, the public could experience legibility research, music and a workshop. I took the organisation on me – from concept, budgeting to the building and campaign. The teachers selected the presented works. Together with Maarten Renckens and Ann Bessemans I worked on the second edition of the two catalogues that accompanied the exhibition. See the booklets here: booklet 1 and here: booklet 2 The exhibiton was made possible by PXL-MAD School of Arts and innitiated by READSEARCH.- IMG_7065

Kabinet I
Fullness in Creation A typographic approach of making visible the 'holy' Mary (Mother, Virgin, Queen, Bride and Transmitter) isn't mentioned that much in the Gospels of the four Apostles (New Testament) by leaving the spaces the word Mary takes out. Presented in a square of squares with black nails in the corners which form a cross and connotation of Mary suffering (the crucifixion of Jesus). Exhibited during Kabinet I at PXL-MAD,School of Arts, April 2018 – initiated by Micha Hulsman -

Matt Mullican – The performance video archive 1980-2010
The residency project of the artist Matt Mullican - Work in residence - opened in a specially designed projectspace in the St. Nicolaasstraat 2, Maastricht. At the invitation of the Jan van Eyck Academy, Edmond Hustinx foundation and Hedah Mullican provided a year of several presentations, with his performances under hypnosis act as a starting point. Matt Mullican made his first performance under hypnosis in 1981 at The Kitchen in New York. Since then numerous performances followed under hypnosis, throughout the world, most of which are also on video recorded. My project within Work in residence included the collection of the videos and the inventory of all the ‘gestures’ Mullican made from second to second - sing, sleep, drink, paint ... - during the performances (29). On the basis of these various parameters a compilation of videos was created (for every gesture one), which are exhibit in several shows of Mullican. Specifications: Mediaplayer 3TB ± 60 hours, 29 compilations
