The PlayLab elective, taught by Roosje Klap and Job Wouters kicked-off with a Symposium in the Artis Bibliotheek in Amsterdam in September with guest speakers: Hans Mulder, Alexander Reeuwijk, Maarten Cornel, Neil vd Linden and Eefje Blankevoort. After a wonderful October roundtrip in Iran, PlayLab Graphic Design students present a guilt-free renaissance in which tendrils creep, petals unfurl and geometric patterns abound. We honour our heroes in this immersive exploration of the grid.

The exhibition opens on Friday 8 December in the KABK Gallery.
Alice Twemlow, Lector Design at the KABK will give the opening speech about the decriminalisation of the ornament.

Everyone is welcome!
