repetition, repetition, by Anni's

repetition, repetition, is a publication compiled, edited and designed by *Anni’s. The process started as a study on how the grid – as a system, structure or blank space – operates as a phenomenon: how it persists and utilises constellations within craft-making, art, architecture and design. First initiated in 2016, the publication has manifested to a self-reflexive, rigorous journey on the inner workings of a graphic designer. **While researching the book, Anni’s visited various specialist libraries in Europe, as well as the book shelves and archives of friends.

*Anni’s (founded in 2002) is a moniker for graphic designer Anni Vestergaard, who is based in Copenhagen and specialises in art books and printed matter.

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.
