The Session is a collective of eight international designers and artists, all graduates of the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam that makes a thematic, interdisciplinary fanzine since September '07. This special edition around the theme Endism is not only a publication, but also takes the form of an exhibition and a release party with cinema, bands and performances among other events.
The Session does not work with a standard form or a recurrent basic theme, but produces on the basis of a regular process. Per session, one of the eight artists and designers determine the theme. This time Flemish-American curator Jan Van Woensel fulfils this role.
Dozens of Flemish, Dutch and international artists, designers, performers, film makers and authors contribute to The Last Session.
The Session is: Jens Schildt, Staffan Björk, Monica Tormell, Tomas Adolfs, Tarja Szaraniec, Matthias Kreutzer, Kalle Mattsson en Orpheu De Jong
