2022 has been a crazy year

and upon fin­ish­ing up grad­ing stu­dent works last week, I set out to craft a brand nü last-minute FLOMM cal­en­dar cel­e­brat­ing our 100th an­niver­sary, tied in to MY FATHER’S BDAY in 1923, same time as THE ORIG­I­NAL BAUHAUS EX­HI­BI­TION.

I gave my­self ONE WEEK to cre­ate some­thing chal­leng­ing – to get me out of teach­ing mode – of course, in­spired by the past, but I set out to be a bit dif­fer­ent than oth­er FLOMM materials. 

WAT could I do in ABOUT a WEEK?

I start­ed with DE STI­JL, threw in some BAUHAUS and end­ed up bounc­ing around the WEIMAR RE­PUB­LIC chan­nel­ing some pre-Hitler-banned GER­MAN EX­PRES­SION­ISM, with a sub­tle add of some fad­ed WWII pho­tog­ra­phy I re­cent­ly found of MY DAD do­ing his NAV­I­GA­TOR thing.

Nav­i­gat­ing through dates I de­cid­ed to turn around a bit – months are du­pli­cat­ed (lay­ered) and JAN­U­ARY is near the bottom. 

I’d no­ticed a lot of repet­i­tive pat­terns ap­pear when type­set­ting a cal­en­dar; this year, FEB­RU­ARY, MARCH and NO­VEM­BER have (most­ly) the same days. Turns out, a 2017 cal­en­dar can be reused for 2023 – tho it would be too easy to just reprint the FLOMM ’17 calendar. 

SO OUR 2023 lim­it­ed edi­tion is for any­one who doesn’t have a cal­en­dar up yet. 

And it’s for JON BUCK who asked me wat I’m do­ing for art these days and I re­spond­ed with “when I have time, I’m mak­ing our home liv­able, my work­space com­fort­able and throw­ing to­geth­er a last minute FLOMM cal­en­dar just in time for watch­ing the tape de­lay ball drop on the tee vee.”

OR­DER YOUR OWN NOW thru FLOMMHAUS !!

Your dol­lar sup­ports us so we can con­tin­ue to do weird chal­lenges like this one.
