BaseDesign has been featured in “The Annual”, Creative Review magazine’s yearly issue profiling the 100 top design projects of the year. The project selected is our book-catalog for It’s Not Only Rock ’n’ Roll, Baby!, a 2008 exhibition staged in Brussels’ BOZAR that displayed artworks by artists better known for their musical talent. The show focused on the relationship between art and music through work from more than 20 icons of (not only!) rock including Yoko Ono, Patti Smith, Chicks on Speed, The Kills, Pete Doherty, Antony (Antony and the Johnsons), and Belgian rocker Bent Van Looy (Das Pop).
The catalog is conceived as a cross between an art publication and a rock ‘zine, with a dash of concert poster. It features many photographs of the work and exclusive interviews with the artists, each of whom is represented in a silhouetted icon. Bold black text on white with color images illustrate the contrast between music and art.
The exhibition was a collaboration between Bozar and the Rock Werchter festival, under the management of the curator Jérôme Sans.
It’s Not Only Rock ’n’ Roll, Baby! is available for purchase at BozarShop online.
