Bart de baets biography

Stiftung Buchkunst (German foundation for book design) networks international book design competitions under the umbrella of »Best Book Design from all over the World«.  Despite cultural differences in book production, this competition is an attempt to compare the technical and aesthetic level as well as the appropriate and artistic design of books beyond national borders.

Dark and Stormy is an ongoing project by Amsterdam-based Rustan Söderling and Bart de Baets that began in 2012 and now counts seven issues. I was invited to contribute a text to their most recent issue and wrote a piece called Biography as Obituary.

“After two issues dealing with captions and reviews, Dark and Stormy is back once again with a fresh new issue on biographies. With the help of our guest editor Lieven Lahaye, the magazine has swollen to a whopping 16 pages packed with memoirs, life stories, CV’s, confessionals and close-ups. Our 50+ contributors have supplied us with insights into the lives of action movie stars, mad poets, alter-egos, hardcore techno producers, statues, cartoon frogs, tech billionaires, bronze age teenagers etc… So, brave the cold and wet and join us at Mertens Frames Project Space by Plan B for the release of Dark and Stormy issue #7.”

Contributors to issue #7:

Alexandra Stock, Alina Lupu, Ana Wild, Annie Goodner, Anton Stuckart, Ben Clark, Bruno Zhu, Cathleen Owens, Dan Walwin, Davey Whitcraft, David Bennewith, Duncan Drury
