Floating

Numbered and signed giclée, size 60 x 40 cm.
Edition of 124 copies. Price € 200

"For the avant garde artists known as STUDIO DRIFT exhibiting in The Shed (the experimental art space in New York City), Dutch designer and cartoonist Joost Swarte conceived as a giclée print a personal interpretation of their work—what he refers to as “a gravity-neglecting concrete block.” Swarte merges the real and surreal city in a delightful fantasy.
The block is just one part of Fragile Future (on view Sept. 29–Dec. 19), in which multidisciplinary artists transform The Shed with sound, movement and film in experiential installations, that play on our senses and compel us to imagine alternative solutions for a positive future."

De Vierhoek

Since the successful involvement of Joost Swarte in the design of the Haarlem theater De Toneelschuur, he has been regularly asked to advise and contribute ideas to architectural projects. A recent example of this is the new construction project De Vierhoek in Haarlem: a housing plan, with a historical story and translated by HER architects and graphic designer and artist Joost Swarte into the present.

It also led to a new print. Part of the edition is intended for buyers of the new homes, but we also have copies for our own customers.
