Description
RARE album by the Janfamily - a group of young artists who share a unique approach to life, explore the things that surround them, and together create alternatives to everyday routines. `Janfamily: Plans for Other Days`, their first book, is a manifesto of their philosophy; it is a "how-to" book, a list of proposals on how to relate to our own environment. By offering solutions to problems such as "How to soften a challenge" and "How to give and take" we are invited to revisit the simple things in life that are often ignored or unnoticed. Jan is a family of artists and designers working in a wide variety of forms. The work they produce is not media-specific but is tied together by a common approach based on personal fascinations. Projects take such different forms as songs, clothes, photography and films. Janfamily was founded in London in 2004 by Royal College of Art graduates Nina Jan Beier and Marie Jan Lund. They were later joined by Daniel Jan Mair, Chosil Jan Kil and Makin Jan Ma. Janfamily has self-published two book projects with great success and are currently producing a series of exhibitions in Tokyo, Milan, Hong Kong, London and Copenhagen. They have been received with immense enthusiasm in the press and magazines and their work has featured in numerous international magazines such as Portfolio, IDEA magazine, Graphic, Sexymachinery, This is a magazine and Textfield. 275x210mm. 224 pages. Illustrated Hardcover. Cover corners and spine edges bumped. Front cover corners and spine bottom edge tattered. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare, humorous yet touching presentation of an innovative way of looking at the world, is otherwise in very good condition.
