For each day of the year, Martens has created a unique arrangement, originally constructed using his signature method of printing letterpress monoprints from found metal forms, and then digitized to comprise 365 compositions in total. Every day is a new day! Karel Martens (born 1939) has been an influential figure in the visual culture of the Netherlands for many decades. Alongside his commissioned projects, Martens has maintained a commitment to this personal and iterative way of printing, which shows how creative practice often spans perceived disciplinary boundaries. For each day of this elegant 2027 calendar, Martens has created a unique abstracted form to serve as a number. The piece’s reference to the daily practice of art expresses Martens’ own approach as a designer and educator: “Every day is a new day!” Published by Roma Publications Softcover with tear-off sheets, 736 pages, full color, 6 × 8.25 inches ISBN: 978-9-46-446106-0
