During his residency at Grafisch Atelier Daglicht Rogier Arents will develop new work for our upcoming One Window #1 exhibition.

Rogier Arents is a designer who is active on the borders of design and science. Science inspires him to make drawings, films, installations and products. The basis of Rogiers work is graphic design wherein he explores the borders of analog and digital. In 2012 he graduated in department Well-being at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. With his strength as a designer to speak the visual language he aims to support scientists communicating their knowledge to the public.

One Window #1

Earlier this year we initiated ‘One Window #1’, a project for which three different artists were invited to develop new works, all starting with the same tool: one screen printing frame, measuring 140×100cm. The participants: Aliki van der Kruijs, Kok Pistolet and Rogier Arents.

In a time where the majority rather chooses for the easy and cheap digital way of working, silk screen workshops are struggling to stay afloat. The One Window #1 project is meant to show the richness and diversity of the silk screen technique by giving three completely different artists a free hand in exploring this beautiful trade. By giving them one restriction – the use of only one silk screen – the participants are challenged to develop a new outlook on this traditional technique, resulting in new possibilities for its application.
