A book with a history, a future and a chip off the new
block
The Stedelijk Museum wants to offer an
exclusive gift to potential sponsors for the re-opening of the
building. Vandejong responded by designing a concept for a
publication that does justice to the glorious history of the
Stedelijk and puts the museum in its proper international
context. The first half of the book comprises images of key
moments and works that have been shown over the course of the
museum's history. The second half presents readers with a
tangible glimpse into the future: a piece of the new building
made of synthetic fibre. Between the two halves of the book,
strategically located between the past and the future, is a DVD
featuring an interview with museum director Gijs van Tuyl and
an animated rendering of the new building. The highly
exclusive, magical book is a gift that the Stedelijk Museum can
present with pride.
