Black
in current design is the lack of colour that has an almost sweltering presence
on all levels, from the natural quality of materials, via the inevitability
of phlegmatic acceptance of normality, to colour codes worn by self-appointed
bearers of culture. In Black Bazaar designer Ineke Hans and publicist Ed
van Hinte playfully and critically explore the puzzle of design considerations
in the context of black. It is the colour of ink and silhouettes and a metaphor
for conventions and the reason why certain design decisions occur. No colour
is just a colour, especially black. |
