As the annual Museum Night in Gent was approaching and it became a good tradition among volunteers of the MIAT museum to have a demonstration and giveaway for the public, we (me & Marie-Alice Boshoff) decided to design & print a calendar for the occasion.
This year the Museum Night took place on 1st of December and the MIAT opened its doors till 01 o'clock inviting visitors to attend its new exhibition 'Made by Children. Child Labor Then and Now', music performance by Wannes Cappelle, various demonstration and the recently opened Bar Mitte.

Typographic Portraits by Jan Vermandere
Visiting an exhibition has been my favourite pastime, so last Saturday afternoon, after a leisurely stroll through the city center, I went to TypeFaces exhibition, hosted in a little, but very bright space in the former coach house in Gent. After being welcomed by friendly host Jan, I found myself in a company of more than 30 TypeFaces presented in a row alongside the wall, that were gazing at me from their light wood coloured frames.
