A Walk Through The Branding Exhibition 01 01 2014
Short documentary by Ben & Akkie Brack for the art based TV program K.i.M (dutch spoken without subtitles). Boy Bastiaens tells about his father who was trained as a signpainter as one of his major influences. The impact of old advertisements drawn in the era of optimism. The ‘K logo’ table that he designed for Karl Lagerfeld. Virtual shoes and many other collaborative Stormhand projects made with visual designer Albert Kiefer. The stunning fashion images shot by architectural photographer Kim Zwarts. And the role of logo’s as visual shortcuts, pointing to a particular brand perception one has in mind.

Whenever you're planning to visit Maastricht at the southern part of the Netherlands in the next couple of months make sure not to miss 'Branding'. It's a very personal exhibition which is about the joy of making things, closer looks from different angles, the ability to anticipate and even spark off trends. Featuring identity projects and others by Dutch graphic designer/ art director Boy Bastiaens and work made over the years with friends. Like visual designer Albert Kiefer with whom Bastiaens joins forces and collaborates under the name StormHand since 1993. And Kim Zwarts who has received international recognition as photographer on many architecture books.
