A small symposium will accompany the book launch of Uncorporate  
Identity by Metahaven. Swiss publisher Lars Müller, London-based  
design collective Brave New Alps, British designer John Morgan, and  
architecture historian and urbanist Wouter Vanstiphout will join the  
debate, together with theorist Marina Vishmidt and designers Vinca  
Kruk and Daniel van der Velden of Metahaven. In a series of  
provocative short lectures, the speakers will react to the book and  
its overall theme. The event is chaired by curator Huib Haye van der  
Werf. Music is provided by Laurenz Brunner.
A compendium of ideas and a source for debate, Uncorporate Identity is  
an ambitious collection of design projects around visual identity and  
politics. It presents the visual projects and writings of design  
studio Metahaven along with a host of contributing writers. Organized  
as a sequence of five chapters, each comprising case studies, notes  
and essays, it explores, visually and textually, the paradoxes of  
identity in a networked world.

Uncorporate Identity will be for sale at a discount price of 35 euro.
