August 2011 - (August 29th. – September 9th.) workshop, public lectures & discussions
Welcome to our first Summer School!
onlab Summer School
@ Nest Coworking space
Görlitzer Strasse 52
10997 Berlin – Kreuzberg
In the past few years onlab has been teaching as visiting professors in several universities and art schools in Europe. This year we are starting our own Summer School in Berlin.
Practical discourse is of special interest to us. Hence, the Summer School is set to establish the missing link between academic teaching and professional practice.
This year's Summer School is in fact an editorial office that carries out the entire process from content production to editorial design and pre-press within 10 intensive days. The result will be published by etc publications and distributed worldwide. We will deal with all categories of editorial production ranging from content editing to design, illustration, data visualization, photography, production and distribution. Nicolas Bourquin and Thibaud Tissot will be guiding the participants in collaboration with professionals from these fields. In addition we will hold a public conference where we invite international guest speakers to discuss the topic in a cross-disciplinary panel.
The working title for the first Summer School is 'chronology of a failure'. We will examine a particular failure of the global community, in collaboration with Betterplace, which will be specified in more detail on the first day of the workshop. 21 participants will work on 7 different aspects of the topic. Every participant will receive 5-10 copies of the resulting publication once printed!
We are happy to announce our confirmed partners for the Summer School: Slanted, Page, Betterplace, Fedrigoni, Gallery Print and b+p swiss typefaces.
