Theatre of the Best Books
| The Hypnotic Tycoon: an embodiment of ‘What You See Is What You Get’ — the autobiography of Alan Sugar “Each year Werkplaats Typografie organises its own Best Book selection. Every participant chooses a book that is important for him in that year. This year artist Joëlle Tuerlinckx directed a series of acts in which the participants became their most significant book. Gradually the students started utilizing costume, props, light and sound to create a theatre of best book. Despite being amateur thespians, the theatre was a serious attempt to assume a character based on the interpretation of a book. Perhaps one can be lead to a new reading of each significant book, an experience that is both insightful and bewildering.” Workshop guided by Joëlle Tuerlinckx, with Boris Van den Eynden, Grégory Dapra, Manuel Zenner, Laure Giletti, Lu Liang, Corina Neuenschwander, Noah Venezia, Ine Meganck, Stefano Faoro, Mark Simmonds and Roland Früh. |

Werkstation Workshop
| We gave a workshop for the 1st years’ students at Sint Lucas, Visual Arts, Ghent. The goal was to make a visual partiture of a song with one single restriction — use no computers. Two great days! |  |
Week 1
| During the first week we chattered about different topics concerning Urbino as an ideal city, italian nostalgia, italian sexuality… At the end of the day we dropped our whole conversation on a big poster. |

Sprayfun
| Once we made a poster for a lecture given by our teacher Inge Ketelers. Although it was really very different from her own work, she absolutely loved it. For this reason we wanted to test if it was possible to push her in a complete different direction. Thus we asked her to copy our poster with some tools that manipulated her skills. |  |

The Stick
| This is a copy-game for which we developped a stick with two pencils on either side. The purpose of the game is to copy simultaneously an assigned image. This can become quiet a battle since the stick is made out of firm wood. |  |

Islands
| This island-game pretends that the paper is an island. While making the poster you can by no means fall off it. |  |
