BOOKS MATTER é um ciclo de conferências que pretende convidar algumas das mais significativas figuras do design editorial contemporâneo a expor ideias e processos na ESAD. A sua primeira edição convida dois designers — Joost Grootens e Ronnie Fueglister, com experiências e enquadramentos de trabalho distintos.

A primeira conferência conta com a presença Joost Grootens (NL), na sexta-feira, 26 de Maio, às 15h30, uma referência maior na representação visual de informação, que nos irá expor os seus projetos editoriais frequentemente materializados em tipologias menos comuns, como atlas ou índices.

A segunda conferência convida Ronnie Fueglister (CH), na segunda-feira, 29 de Maio, às 15h30, para partilhar algum do excelente trabalho desenvolvido em proximidade com comunidades artísticas e instituições culturais.

Ambos os convidados irão discutir as suas preocupações e motivações presentes na sua atividade de desenhadores de livros, partilhando histórias, enquadramentos e abordagens por trás dos seus projetos.

Organizado por João Martino e Miguel Almeida, no âmbito do lançamento da Pós-Graduação em Design Editorial e E-Publishing da ESAD, o BOOKS MATTER pretende abrir caminhos para uma discussão sobre práticas inovadoras, pertinentes e contemporâneas nos campos do design editorial e da publicação.

Joost Grootens (NL) studied architectural design at Gerrit Rietveld Academy Amsterdam. He established Studio Joost Grootens in 1995.In 2010 He was appointed head of the Master Information Design at Design Academy Eindhoven. Since 2015, he is PhD candidate Artistic Research at the PhDArts programme of Univerity Leiden and Royal Academy of the Arts, The Hague. Next to designing digital information environments, maps, typefaces and spatial installations Studio Joost Grootens works primarily in the field of book design. We are constantly challenged to develop appropriate formats that justify the production of printed material, acknowledging the growing need for visual representation of data. The books we make present knowledge, but they also question the relevance of typologies such as catalogues, indexes and atlases as part of an ongoing research process. We like to deal with complexity, showing that it is a misconception to assume that something complex should look complicated. SJG works for readers.

Ronnie Fueglister (CH) is a graphic designer. He studied at ECAL in Lausanne, at the Basel School of Design where he graduated in 2005 and at Zurich University of the Arts where he graduated on Advanced Studies in Type Design in 2013.
