Niessen & de Vries : Scheltens & Abbenes : Mart.Spruijt

1TO·1·TO·1 is a documentary series in print exploring reproduction and the rationale behind  the works of artists and designers, 1:1:1 is a series of small publications in which printing matter converges with the subject matter, the image with the text, the reproduction with the original and ‘the designer’ with ‘the client’. Each issue will be inspired by the works of a specially selected artist, designer or musician which will dictate the number of issues in this series. The subject of conversation is the basis for investigating graphic design and printing as a form of expression. 1:1:1 is an initiative of Niessen & de Vries.

The Surveyor. Fabian Reimann.

By the end of 1979, Sir Anthony Frederick Blunt was no longer Sir. The reason can be traced back to Cambridge where he was a student – and a member of a secret circle of men who were young and ardent advocates of Communism. Later they became known as the Cambridge Five. The first of them was exposed in 1951, the second one a year later. By this time, Blunt was professor of Art History and Adviser for the Queen’s Pictures and Drawings. He was in charge of managing the Royal Family’s collection of paintings. His focus was on French and Italian art, especially Poussin. In 1963, the third member of the Cambridge Five was uncovered. Like the others, he had sought refuge in Moscow. Blunt’s secret identity became known the year after, but it was not publicly revealed to avoid damage to the Queen. It took another 15 years for Margaret Thatcher to publicise it.

KOKIN (…) SLENDRO. Julien Grossmann

Six minimalist electro-acoustic songs based on six different musical scales:
Rumanikos, Kokin, Myxolidian, Kourd Atar Todi, Pigmy and Slendro.

These also constitute the soundtrack for an installation by Julien Grossmann, where they each are played from a different turntable, while intricately modelled islands revolve in cycle, placed at the middle of the corresponding records.

With a text by James Beckett and a sleeve designed by Boy Vereecken.

The Final Truth of Burnaby and other unsolved miracles of natural deception. Donwood Bricks & Max Stocklosa.

This book contains a collection of completed and ongoing investigations and the relevant detritus of those investigations. Its contents has been compiled over a period of five years by Donwood Bricks and Max Stocklosa with the help of Members of Strong Interest, Aerial Arrows Association and Man made Fields and Finds Co-op. The collected materials are anecdotal facts and fiction and take the forms of fragmental research and sources. The application of rule of thumb methods and the execution of experimental nettings of information examine the collected material and the displacement of its locations . The publication is intended to work as a source book containing microlinks, finds and also a paradigm of an archeological tool, which processes the disposed narratives that emanate from millions of machines every day.

Street Talk: Amsterdam. Stephen Willats.

“Two people together is the basic unit for expressing society, and the complexity of expressions between two people is mirrored in the wider formal and informal networks of culture. The act of walking together, side by side, is fundamental to acts of sociability; it introduces fluidity and transience in the coding of language in a relationship when perceived by an external observer.
