Long time friend-of-the-family, and occasional collaborator Jaya Peluppesy is an artist based in Utrecht. In his practice Jaya researches the state of photography by creating installations that frame & deconstruct the question: what exactly are we looking at? Get into his selection of tunes that might work outside office hours as well! Enjoy: www.mixcloud.com/hoaxworksongs/066-jaya-pelupessy/

We hope your week’s going swimmingly……is one of the expressions we learnt from Siji Jabbar. This months Work Songs is brought to you by the man who helps us translate text from Dutch to English. Apart from having taught us some very cool expressions, we’ve now also gotten to know some fresh new music through his selection. Enjoy: https://www.mixcloud.com/hoaxworksongs/075-siji-jabbar/

Every year, Arcam hands out an award to the architect and client that have realised the best building in Amsterdam. A jury of specialists and amateurs choose which criteria the 10 nominated buildings are judged by, ranging from aesthetics to public relevance and from material innovation to special collaborations.

This years winners are Basisschool de Wereldburger and Nationaal Holocaust Namenmonument! Congratulations!

We made the identity that was translated into many assets, including the award itself.

We made a book about the life and work of Joop Kruip. For over 60 years the Dutch artist made work ranging from tiny pen-drawings to monumental commissioned mosaics and from abstract illustrations to highly figurative oil paintings. Always driven by curiosity and experimentation, Joop leaves an impressive body of work that we’ve perpetuated in a boxset. Seven hardcover books show the wide variety of work and tell stories of his personal life and the state of art in post-war Netherlands.

You can buy the book through www.joopkruip.nl or by dropping us a line!

Learn about the vortex of music that is on heavy rotation in Indigo's headphones. We enjoyed working with her as the brand manager of Wetlands International, an organisation dedicated to the conservation and restoration of wetlands on our planet. She, her boyfriend and her dog are now driving their Defender to Mongolia in search of good food, friendly people and adventure. Fair enough!

After a winter full of rehearsing Schweigman& and DOX team up for the sensual play Eros. In a contemporary ritual, the performers search for the power and pleasure of their sensuality. All taboos and clichés are swept away and female energy runs wild to the sound of drums and percussion by band members of The EX. A total experience beyond the ordinary!

Sometimes, when we’re at a loss for words, we call in the expertise of Marlijn to help us express ourselves better. Marlijn is editor-in-chief at the Dierenbescherming, but she finds the time to help us out verbally every now and then! Curious to find out if she can teach us something new on a musical level as well! Enjoy!

The Social Design Lobby is once again part of the Dutch Design Week! Come and visit the 'Scheurkalender Fabriek' where you can buy the block-calender. This calender provides an overview of the many different designers who run a social design practice in the Netherlands. Get a copy for your daily dose of design inspiration in 2022.

We met Friso Visser while working together on various projects for Innofest. Besides being the 'man-behind-the-method' at Innofest, Friso is also head honcho and creative change leader at Brain Fuel. A brainstorm method which he describes as: the fastest, easiest and funniest method to help you solve problems and find opportunities.

Working with Friso is always a nice balance between great focus and having serious fun! We think you can hear all that in this episode of Work Songs. Hit that play button and enjoy!

In our on-demand society, we increasingly meet, date and love online. A future in which algorithms, deep-fakes, avatars, robots and artificial intelligence determine our romantic experiences does not seem so far away. The upcoming IMPAKT Festival is all about Modern Love!

What steps do we take to reach our end results? Our website clearly describes the thoughts and process behind each individual case. Read all about a new case: Arcam

Alex Slagter is, together with Britta Moller, one half of design studio Maslow. They started in the nineties and have worked with a dazzling amount of clients in the world of electronic music. He's responsible for the outstanding design and art direction of the Amsterdam Dance Event, which led him to develop the identity of an electronic music museum experience. It was inevitable for us to bump into Alex at some point but we didn't expect it to be the ambitious collaboration that is Our House. We are currently working on their brand new website which made us curious about his current favourite tracks. Enjoy this versatile list!
