Stay Foreign, Exhibition
Stay Foreign is a conceptual journey initiated by VosBrenner aiming to merge and offer new perspectives from abroad artists living within the Netherlands. This physically manifested itself for the first time this summer 2012 with an exhibition held in Slaakhuys. Here we invited two international architecture photographers to transform the hallway of Slaakhuys that was and currently still is under construction.
During the opening of our studio space and the Kunstroute, Crooswijk / Kralingen the space inhabited Freedomland by Denis Guzzo and Facades by Muge Yilmaz. For more information specific to this exhibition please see the link to the homepage. For more information regarding the future plans of Stay Foreign you'll have to be a bit more patient.

The Great Plastic Tide
This graphic was published in Volume Magazine #31 Guilty Landscapes. In three sections: revelations, confessions, and atonement, the issue presents a global scan of large-scale guilty landscapes and our design relation to them.
“Made to last forever, Designed to throw away.” The dimensions of our marine pollution gets most evident looking at the quantities of plastics found in the currents of our oceans. It’s a man made catastrophe with global anonymous origin (manly coming from beaches) and only a few responsible parties going behind. For Volume Magazine we did research on this topic and developed a graphic approaching size, accumulation points and kind of plastic.

Pillow Case
Proposed design for Slaapaap pillow cases illustrating the various polyphasic sleep patterns. Polyphasic sleep is a term coined by early 20th-century psychologist J.S. Szymanski, it refers to the practice of sleeping multiple times in a 24-hour period—usually more than two, in contrast to biphasic sleep (twice per day) or monophasic sleep (once per day).
