We’re proud to be part of “Magical Octopus”, selected for “The Best Dutch Book Designs 2020”. This Risograph printed book was initiated by Jo Frenken, Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.
Wobby.club was asked to produce and print an eight page section. Marjolein Schalk, Bobbi Oskam, Nastia Cistakova and Andrew Tseng made new work for this book, as an ode to the tentacles of the Magical Octopus.
The different pages were printed by the following institutions: Knockvologan Studies (SCH) Bananafish (CHN) Calipso Press (CO) Corners Studio (KR) Endless Editions (USA) Hand Saw Press (JP) Gato Negro Ediciones (MEX) Hato Press (GB) Issue Press (USA) Kabinet Studio (BE) Knust Press (NL) Quintal Éditions (FR) Raum Press (ESP) Risolve (USA) Sigrid Calon (NL) Wobby.club (NL) Jan van Eyck Academie (NL)
Part of the Magical Octopus book was the four-day biennale Magical Riso #IV: Octopus. All 20 artists and Riso printers were interviewed about their individual contributions to the event.
