Heerlen, Amsterdam and Loenersloot: Cubic Construction Center, Stedelijk Museum and others, 1965?1971. Octavos (17.5 ? 17.5 cm.) and calendar boards measuring 35 ? 17.8 cm. Calendar boards somewhat toned, else good or better. William Graatsma and Gerrit Jan Slothouber had a formative influence on Dutch design in the post-war period. They first became known as designers for the Dutch chemical company DSM, for which they designed packaging, advertisements, and fonts, for example. Even then, they experimented with limiting themselves to the cube as a variable basic form. This concept aroused such interest that the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam organized an exhibition of their work in 1965 (the catalog is available here). Soon afterwards, they founded the "Cubic Construction Center" (CCC for short) in order to deepen their concept not only practically but also theoretically. For example, they studied Le Corbusier and the ideal basic dimension of 70 cm in order to develop variations of the basic module using preferably pure primary and secondary colors as well as transparent materials. The guiding principle for this project of strict limitation to the cube was the idea of using the economically simple and universally applicable cube to create an art form appropriate to the social requirements of a democratically organized industrial society. (Cf. Uta R?mer, AKL LIX, 2008, p. 481.) The group contains the following objects: (a) Cubic calendar 1970, [1969]. With the months of the year screen-printed on 6 thick cardboard sheets in black and silver. To be mounted as a cube with folding lines. (b) Original paper sleeve with 6 colored cardboard plates for model construction. No year.

Original printed self-wrappers; 38, [4] pp. with numerous illustrations and a color graphic. (d) Cubisch waarneembaar hexagon [Cubic observable hexagon]. Loenersloot: Galerie Mickery, 1969.
