2022 marked the 25th anniversary of BLESS. Since 1997, Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag have been working together on numerous transdisciplinary projects. Dubbing themselves ‘situation designers,’ their products blend fashion, art, design, architecture, business, and social practice, always aiming to create an equilibrium between mental and physical exertion. Driven by the ambition to create objects for everyday use, BLESS defines her practice and products as a way of life—based on the firm belief that one can shape life today in a way that creates a future worth living in.

The third publication of the Paris and Berlin based designers is one of the three outcomes of the project A Year with… BLESS N° 72 BLESSlet, with which KW Institute for Contemporary Art honored the anniversary. The publication encompasses BLESS’s collection and projects from 2010 until 2022, with written reflections on their innovative and witty work by Douglas Fogle & Hanneke Skerath, Anna Gritz & Krist Gruijthuijsen, Nakako Hayashi, Tom McCarthy and Jeppe Ugelvig.

Based in Berlin and founded in 2011, BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE is a small independent publishing house — a community of artists, graphic designers, authors, curators, cultural workers, craftsmen and craftswomen; specialising in artist books that are conceptualised as a part of an artwork or as the artwork itself.  They attempt to play with the format of the book and reflect its medium;  all of their books are produced in close collaborations with the artists themselves. Working in the long-standing tradition of alternative publishing practises, their focus is on collaborations with younger, not yet established artists or artists from outside of North America and Western Europe; from outside of an eurocentric discourse.

BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE translates to ‘good day, good afternoon, good night’ in Portuguese. The name conveys the idea that books can become an integral part of our everyday life – regardless of the time of day.
