President's Lectures and Forums
Autumn 2007
IRMA BOOM
Date: Tuesday 18 September 2007
Location: Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Irma Boom’s prolific work explores the creative boundaries of print and the imagination. She is not interested in precise typography or perfect print; it is the idea that always dominates.
Boom works internationally in both the cultural and commercial sectors. Since opening the Irma Boom Office in Amsterdam in 1991 she has designed scores of books, as well as teaching at Yale in the US and the Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. Her work for the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Ferrari, Camper, Vitra International and the United Nations is internationally renowned. ‘If there is something in common about my books, it is the roughness’, she says.
Boom was the youngest ever laureate to receive the prestigious Gutenberg Prize for her body of work and her design for ‘Weaving as Metaphor’ by American artist Sheila Hicks was rewarded as 'The Most Beautiful Book in the World’ at the Leipzig Book Fair.
Irma will be showing us through her work and guiding us around her imagination.
