Yin Yin Wong is a graphic designer and typographer based in Rotterdam. She has a Master’s Degree in Graphic Design from Werkplaats Typografie, ArtEZ, and is the Creative Director of Publication Studio Rotterdam.
PS Rotterdam was cofounded in 2015 by Yin Yin Wong and artist Micha Zweifel. At the time, it was housed in Het Nieuwe Instituut, the Museum of Design, Architecture and Digital Culture. While there, the studio functioned as an open workshop and publisher, generating titles and holding many events within the studio space at the museum. In January 2017, the studio moved to its own store front in Rotterdam North to focus more heavily on being a print-on-demand self-organised studio. The studio provides printing, design and editing services alongside commissioning its own titles, which primarily focus on working with artists who wouldn’t otherwise have the means to publish their work. Isabelle Sully has since joined the team as editor, and the studio has started to explore other concurrent forms of ‘publishing’, like exhibition making, public events, social sculptures and workshops, often working in collaboration with other arts organisations and institutions.
The SAAG is proud to be a partner of the University of Lethbridge’s Art NOW and Architecture & Design NOW lecture series, now streaming online over zoom. Encompassing presentations by artists, curators, critics, art historians, theorists, filmmakers, and more, these speaker series are of the largest and longest running programs in the country, having hosted more than 700 presenters over more than three decades. The SAAG contributes to the diverse spectrum of presenters by recommending our roster of contemporary practicing artists and curators as guests.
Supported by the Canada Council and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the course offers presentations from a wide array of arts professionals. Representing a wide range of contemporary practices, up to three different speakers each week discuss their ideas, working methods, and interests in the visual arts. With about 30 speakers per semester, Art NOW is an amazing resource for anyone interested in contemporary art. Best of all, the lectures are open to the public - everyone is welcome!
These events are hosted online over zoom, registration is through the University of Lethbridge.
We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. Nous remercions le Conseil des arts du Canada de son soutien.
