Intimate Walk Through of work in Diboll gallery: Thursday, September 20
The Ultralight : Show in a Box will offer 45 original screen print works by Harmen Liemburg installed in the Collins C. Diboll Art Gallery. This lecture and exhibition series will illustrate Liemburg’s concept of transforming of exhibition spaces through the use of printed matter, the Ultra Light Show in Box will re-invent itself at Loyola.
Harmen Liemburg (nl 1966) started his career as a cartographer. To keep his appetite for graphic representation alive, he sought a larger menu of expression. He went to the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and became a member of a new breed of designers, one that is closely linked to the world of art, education and museums.
Liemburg is obsessed with screen printing, and uses the medium to create unexpected results. his style emphasizes the narrative aspect of images and theoccasional beauty of everyday vernacular like logos and packaging design, that are woven together through collage techniques.
His projects are primarily linked to the transformation of exhibition spaces through the use of printed matter. In his lectures and workshops he works to convince students to start working by turning off their computers, but simultaneously shows how to digital tools can be linked to analogue printing processes. Besides being a graphic designer and graphic artist, he’s also a design journalist, mainly for the dutch magazine items
