Renata and I are currently on our way to Urbino, Italy to participate in the 2011 Summer School :)
See you in 2 weeks, America.
In 2009 two schools, Werkplaats Typografie (ArtEZ), Arnhem, the Netherlands and ISIA Urbino, Italy, joined together to set up a Summer School in the Renaissance town of Urbino, Italy.
For the third year, the 2011 Summer School requires current students or practicing designers that are inspiring, non-conventional, with authentic and critical minds and who are eager to take risks.
The Summer School will take place at the only bachelor school solely devoted to graphic design. ISIA Urbino is set in a renaissance building in the centre of Urbino, a small and beautifully preserved renaissance town in the centre of Italy.
The workshop lasts for two weeks and participants will be guided on a daily basis by Karel Martens (Werkplaats Typografie), Armand Mevis (Werkplaats Typografie), Maureen Mooren (Werkplaats Typografie) and Leonardo Sonnoli (ISIA Urbino).
The Summer School is not a place where you will be told what to do, it is two weeks where you will have the time, space and freedom to reflect on your practice. In addition, the Summer School is also a potentially enriching environment to share experiences and ideas with the tutors and the other participants.

Halfway to Entropy
organized by Jacob C. Hammes
@ The Storefront
2606 N. California
Chicago, IL 60647
July/August 2011 - check calendar for specific dates and times.
During the remainder of summer 2011, The Storefront at 2606 N. California will be hosting an experimental hypnotherapy office under the direction of artist Jacob C. Hammes, providing free services for creative exploration through trance and altered-consciousness. During drop-in hours or by appointment, visitors to The Storefront are encouraged to collaborate on the development of customized hypnotic experiences for creativity and self-improvement.
The focus of these sessions is to explore the relationship between submission and control that develop within the specific parameters of an induced trance. The investigation seeks to strike a balance between the expression of ideas in a collaborative work and the power dynamics of the trance-inducing process. This situation, that is paradoxically both limiting and expansive, calls into question conventional notions of creative control and authorship. Exploring the dynamics of creative production through the heightened experience of sensory phenomenon is the central theme of Hammes’ residency and exhibition. Each session focuses on conjuring a unique experience using hypnotic suggestions customized for each participant. Services available include: memory enhancement, addiction treatment, synesthesia and sensory-modification, weight loss, astral projection, stress therapy, past-life regression, and various forms of focused visualization.
Hammes’ summer-long residency will end with an exhibition featuring the release of a publication entitled “Halfway Through Entropy” a software-generated text embodying “big picture” notions of infinity, randomness, and evolution. The Storefront will maintain a publicly-viewable online calendar that serves as a signup sheet for those interested in scheduling a hypnosis session. In addition, special hypnosis sessions will be held periodically with a roster of artists and musicians. All sessions are open to the public to observe. (Private sessions also available).
