A retrospective exhibition is dedicated to their work, showcasing more than a hundred projects created over the past 20 years.

Analog encounters

The conference program transforms into a space to meet and share tangible experiences with our invitees. We take up the theme initiated in 2023: "One head, two hats", the practice of a designer/publisher.

14:00 – Rotolux Press

Léna Araguas , Alaric Garnier

Rotolux Press is a nonprofit, association-based publishing house founded in 2015 by Léna Araguas and Alaric Garnier. Rotolux Press supports and promotes contemporary creation by publishing unique projects of various scopes, focusing on art, design, poetry, literature, photography, and drawing. Breaking down the boundaries between these disciplines is a key driving force for the publishing house, and the attention we give to a certain idea of marginality gradually shapes our editorial line. Each Rotolux Press book is designed "tailor-made," built upon artistic and political affinities between the authors and us. We strive to achieve the greatest possible harmony between content, form, and the economic constraints specific to each project. As a result, formats, typefaces, layouts, printing techniques, and binding methods are reconsidered with each new publication.

15:30 – Ness Books

Julie Héneault

Espace Ness is a graphic design studio based in Paris and founded in 2018 by Émilie Ferrat, Julie Héneault and Sophie Rentien Lando. After studying at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and working as independents, they started mutualising their practices and knowledge in a common space.
Their graphic design takes the shape of identities, websites, spaces, books or catalogs, and aims to be developed in close collaboration with the institutions, artists and researchers involved. They have a strong focus on content, materiality and typography. Émilie and Julie teach graphic design respectively at ENSBA, Lyon (Fr) and KASK, Ghent (Be).
Espace Ness is their atelier but also a place that hosts book launches, exhibitions, discussions and various small events. Ness Books is an eclectic non-profit editorial platform publishing the works of emerging artists, researchers and writers, as well as facsimiles or even self-initiated researches.

14:00 – Building Fictions

Rudy Guedj

Building Fictions (BF) is a publishing project that sets out to explore ‘building’ as a methodology, with the intent to highlight the potential of storytelling within practices at the intersection of art, design, architecture, literature. Not limited by the first definition of a building as a space, BF is interested in collaboration as an assembling, layering process. The projects published often are the result of collaborative work from which emerge questions on the established relation between text and image as autonomous yet related languages. While investigating fictional strategies and their potential within artistic production, BF wants to find out where those strategies are at play in the context of real constructions, could those be made of concrete or be more ephemeral, metaphorical, thus anchoring the effects of fictions within the real world.

Jurgen Maelfeyt

HEAD Photographies

The teaching of photography holds an important place within the programs offered by the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD – Genève). While it is not a dedicated photography school, specific training is available in the Visual Arts and Visual Communication departments, connected through the Photography pool. These programs address the richness and diversity of current practices, focusing particularly on the contemporary condition of the image at a time when it has never been more widely used, shared, and when photography has never been so close to dissolving into an undifferentiated flow.

Launched in 2019, HEAD Photographies is a collection aimed at showcasing the most distinctive approaches developed by students of the Geneva University of Art and Design through photography.

Book Launch of Poster Cult, Published by Lars Müller

with Dafi Kühne
16:30

Poster Cult:
Dafi Kühne is one of Switzerland’s foremost poster designers whose diverse, bold work embraces both traditional production tools and modern design processes. Although his posters are printed on presses from the 1960s, they do not look like typical letterpress prints. Instead, they connect with the history of letterpress production while pushing the boundaries of long-established graphic and typographic techniques. Using analog printing presses, computer software applications, laser cutters, and freshly cast hot-metal-type, he creates wildly creative, large-format posters. Working from his vast letterpress studio in the Swiss Alps, Dafi Kühne simultaneously drives poster culture and upholds the cult of the poster.
