PROFILE

This site contains a selection of printed matter made by Inge Ketelers, a Belgian graphic designer, who has been running her own studio since 1993.
She teaches graphic design at Sint-Lucas Visual Arts, Ghent (department of the Institute for Higher Education in the Sciences & the Arts) since 2002.

“As a graphic designer, I have a special interest for books and produce them for a wide range of clients. Book commissions come from publishers, institutions, or the authors themselves. What unifies my approach in each case is a sensitivity to the reciprocal action of the book’s form and content. As a graphic designer I’m using every tool available, including typography, materials, sequence, color, scale, and imagery. Often, I arrive beyond simple discussions with authors and publishers and become involved in projects at an editorial level. At another level technical knowledge is required to be a sharp partner for the printer.”

Guest at 'De filmavonden' on February 3th, 2009 (Sint-Lucas Visual Arts, Ghent)
Introduction to the films by Marguerite Duras. 'Les Mains Négatives' (1979), 'Aurélia Steiner (Melbourne)' (1979) and 'Aurélia Steiner (Vancouver)' (1979).
Poster: made by Ines Cox and Lauren Grusenmeyer.

Marc Goethals will give a reading on November 6th, 2008 in De Singel (Antwerp) within the series of Curating the Library, an initiative by Moritz Kung. He will talk about a selection of artist's books and some poems. As usual, the books will be added to the library. It is now already five years since artists, philosophers, architects, choreographers, designers and composers started presenting their favorite books as a contribution to this constantly expanding book collection. It's just a coincidence that this reading by Marc Goethals (and Andrea Fraser who will present her selection too that evening) is number 100 in the series.

Concrete Poetry, Fluxus and Conceptual Art. A Book Friction
Witte Zaal, Posteernestraat 64, Ghent, from April 17th till May 24th 2008. Opening: April 17th, 20:00.
Collector Marc Goethals is setting up a unique exhibition showcasing artists’ books from the period 1968–1972. The exhibition traces how artists from the concrete poetry, Fluxus and conceptual art movements dealt with the medium of the book in their practices. Interactions between artists, mutual influences, sympathies as well as tensions are revealed. Books are shown from the publisher’s lists of Hansjörg Mayer (Herman de Vries, Dieter Roth, Gerhard Rühm, et al.) and Something Else Press (Fluxus artists Robert Filliou, George Brecht, Wolf Vostell, Dick Higgins et al.) and by artists such as Lawrence Weiner, Joseph Kosuth, Allan Kaprow, Gerhard Rühm and Stanley Brouwn. Apart from artists’ books, the exhibition shows magazines and presents a publication that contains an illustrated and annotated list.
This exhibition was produced by Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht in 2006.
