Karel Martens / 87

Save the date:
Karel Martens / Birthday Calendar at ENTER ENTER
Friday, 6th of March 5pm-8pm

During the preparation of the Unbound exhibition for the Stedelijk Museum, studio Martens&Martens discovered a calendar, hidden in a drawer. The calendar was designed by Karel in 1968, but was never produced.
We are excited to announce this calendar, 58 years later, is ready, and published by Roma Publications for Karel’s 87 birthday!

We will celebrate Karel’s birthday with beer and friets!
Feel free to join!
