About Art and Us Boekontwerp
Art and Us is een boek dat geselecteerde werken uit de collectie van een kunststichting presenteert. Het hoofdgedeelte toont uitsluitend afbeeldingen van de werken, terwijl een apart klein boekje, dat in een insteekhoes achterin wordt bewaard, elk werk per paginanummer beschrijft. Elke pagina bevat originele handgetekende texturen, waardoor het boek doet denken aan een schetsboek van een kunstenaar. De zachte kaft is gemaakt van transparant pvc met zeefdruk, en door de kettingsteek-binding blijft de bindwijze zichtbaar. Er zijn drie papiersoorten gebruikt, waaronder doorschijnende vellen en ruwe vellen voor de documentatie van tentoonstellingen.

- Production Technology
- In order to convey the impression of the artist sketchbook, a binding technology was used for the book - kettle stitching. The main cover of the book is made of soft, transparent PVC sheet with single color silk-screen printing and designed pocket in the back for a smaller catalog. The first sheet of paper uses hot foil stamping, which is translucent throught PVC and gives a two-layer impression.
All main pages were printed with UV technology on a Galerie Art volume of 115 g. and Holmen Book Extra 80 g. paper. For the transparent pages was used Curious Collection Translucents Bright White 100 g., Gmund Colors Transparent Red 100 g. Information catalog paper - Rainbow Intensive Red 120 g. - Design Challenge
- The most difficult part was creating background illustrations for each page, which would be an abstract reminder of the artist sketchbook and would have its own style. The illustrations
were hand drawn, then photographed, scanned, and computer-processed. The book selects three types of papers in order to better reveal the art works, archival documentation of exhibitions, and transparent markers. - Research
- During the process, we wanted to create a seamless and the same time abstract object - book, representing the activieties of the Lewben Art Foundation for five years. Therefore, we had to find a common concept that would clearly and simply represent the book theme Art & Us. The principle of illustrations was chosen for this.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for the book Art & Us is the artist sketchbook, in which there are a lot of hand technical drawings, therefore, to enhance this effect, these stylistic textures were specially created for each page of the book. With this principle of the book, we reveal what lies behind the artist’s final work - research and the author’s hard work.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Vilnius, Lithuania.
- Operation Flow
- Almost every page of the book was created with original illustrations, used rough, yellowish paper for exhibition documentation and transparent markers with numbers are inserted between the pages to make the object as seamless as possible and to resemble the artist sketchbook.
