Type walk in Ghent. Before & after. Marchandises & stories.
Tucked away near Sint-Jacobsplein in Ghent once stood a place that many locals still remember with a certain nostalgia: Marchand’10.

Gentse Feesten 2024 or “De boere-kermis”.
It is that time of year again, time for Ghent Festivities (Gentse Feesten), one of the largest cultural festivals in Europe - ten days of fun, which kicks off on the 19th of July.

In the past years, the posters I've designed were purely typographic, typeset from wood and metal type available in the museum collection. But this year we thought to link it to an historical object from the museum's collection.

Inktopus (re)opening. Gent
INKTOPUS, run by Luc Van Quickenborne, his sons and a few volunteers, is a public, non-toxic printing workspace, where students, artists, and actually anyone, can learn and practice the art of printmaking. Last Sunday, after being at the KERK (Gent) for about a year they've moved to a little bit smaller, but a quite cozy new location and (re)opened their doors to the public.
