I will start by showing three (very) short films: ‘notforresale’, ‘lost and found’, ‘homage to the alphabet’. This will lead on to a conversation between myself and Robin Kinross, with unpredictable results.
Karel Martens is a graphic designer, specializing in typography. He has won numerous awards –
a 1996 prize resulting in the publication of a monograph of his work Printed matter. He has taught graphic design for over thirty years and is a much-revered mentor of Dutch Graphic Design inspiring younger generations towards an approach to design which prioritises intelligence and integrity. He is a co-founder of the Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem, a two-year workshop education which he now oversees with fellow designer Armand Mevis.
Robin Kinross is a typographer and editor.
He runs Hyphen Press, whose authors include Christopher Burke, Fred Smeijers, Gerrit Noordzij, Jost Hochuli, and David Wild. He has collaborated as writer and publisher with Karel Martens on the books Printed matter and Counterprint. A third edition of Printed matter
is in preparation now.
