In this edition of Archive Explorations, we take a look at examples of the 'blueprint experiment' and discuss the cross-disciplinary relationships between design and artistic practice and photography then and now. With contributions by Susanna Brown, Carolin Lange, Harm te Velde and Hetty Berens. The evening will be moderated by Ellen Smit.

Many post-war design drawings, pamphlets and posters in Het Nieuwe Instituut's archives incorporate rub-down lettering or brightly coloured self-adhesive plastic foils. During this edition of Archive Explorations, experts on architecture, animated films and 1970s protest culture explore the possibilities and use of these materials from historical and contemporary perspectives.
