Experimental Jetset at TypeSHED11


I have been lucky enough to see this Dutch trio on a couple of occasions and they never fail to amuse and inspire. They focused on their influences this time; the things that they saw that got them where they are. Like how an anarchic backwards 'a' inspired them to turn their text upside down, or how the jewelry in an exhibition was only viewable from outside the gallery, leaving the inside virtually empty, and how the language of two-tone, and Prince inspired their punk minimalism. And how this led to other things.
