NAi Maastricht Changing Ideals: Rethinking the House Poster

Erwin Brinkers, Marieke Stolk, and Danny van Dungen—the founding principals of Experimental Jetset—are best known for a body of posters produced for the NAiM/Bureau Europa, an organization for architecture and design based in Maastricht. Included here is one of their earliest poster designs for Edible City (2007), an exhibition that explored the influence that food production has on architecture and urbanism. The poster features a collage made from candy wrappers in the shape of the city of Maastricht. The poster for the 2007 exhibition Jean Prouvé: The Poetics of the Technical Object directly references the perforated aluminum siding that has come to define much of Prouvé’s architectural work. On the poster for the exhibition Rien ne va plus (No Further Bets) (2009), red and black type fills the page, cutting across the white background in a visual reference to “crashing stock markets and collapsing buildings.”
