Swip Stolk: FLASH /1971.1974.1975.1986/ BACK

By 29-06-2018

Sandor Lubbe (Editor-in-Chief, ZOO Magazine): “Swip Stolk is a true visionary and is internationally recognized for his role as art director for the Groninger Museum, working together with curator Frans Haks (2006) over a period of more than 30 years. He devised the design exhibitions and catalogs for Alessandro Mendini, Memphis and Andres Serrano, to name but a few.”

“Swip remains one of the world’s best conceptual and visionary artists. In the pages of ZOO Magazine, we dive into history. Bearing in mind that some of these works were made more than 40 years ago, the assignments given at the time by De Boer en Vink graphic industry show a tremendous trust in their maker, giving him complete creative freedom.”

“Meanwhile, Swip still delivers the unexpected. He will always continue to surprise. For the look and feel of these pages, Stolk used his neighbors, family members and friends as models to make the work look gritty and authentic, as though created by amateurs. The gatefold features his parents blowing bubbles and the image of a candleholder being unpacked features people who live in his street.”
