Demanifest
Artist: Michael Spoljaric, Stephen Johnston
Editor: R. Klanten

Created and compiled by Michael Spoljaric (The Attik, Riot!) and Stephen Johnston, Demanifest is an anthology as determined, eclectic and ambitious as Kim Hiørthoy's Tree Weekend. With unrivalled artistic subtlety and a truly poetic touch, Demanifest skillfully combines a wealth of aspects and techniques: precise 3-D exercises (reminiscent of ultra-precise colour pickers), filigree works on canvas, tiny graffiti hidden underneath coarse brushstrokes, traditional Japanese imagery where mysterious, illuminated fantasy characters blend into hyper-realistic figurines, extremely reduced, skinny British fonts, two-tone posters, record sleeves, silkscreen prints and even surreal outings into preposterously fake photography. Employing the widest variety of stylistic aids, the designs in this carefully structured volume are to the point, subtle and by no means immediate. Demanifest announces a radical new alliance between art and graphic design - with a loveable, human and hand-crafted touch.
