'Agenda' is an ongoing project by the German graphic designer Manuel Raeder. The project focuses on questioning different methods of how people organize, in a personal or non-personal way, their time. Formats, sizes and distribution systems vary each year. Two white papers are always sitting on top of publications from the past, and small details and close-ups are peaking through with the reflection of the sun on the books. 'Popurri' comes with an extra long book mark. ---------- The word 'popurri' comes from the French 'pot-pourri,' which was the name for a Spanish stew with a wide variety of ingredients called 'olla podrida.' In English, 'potpourri' is often used to refer to any collection of miscellaneous or diverse items. ---------- In music this is a form of arrangement where the individual sections are simply juxtaposed with no strong connection or relationship, and organized by the principle of non-repetition. This is usually to be applied to a composition that consists of a string of favorite tunes, like a popurri based on either some popular opera, operetta, or a collection of songs, dances, etc. ---------- Manuel Raeder lives and works in Berlin. He studied at the London College of Printing and has completed a post-graduate at the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht. His main focus lies in close collaborations with artists, designers, curators, theorists, and musicians. His work has a wide range of formats from exhibitions, publications, type design to furniture design. Manuel Raeder has held workshops at the Ecole nationale sup�rieure des arts d�coratifs, Paris, and the Hochschule f�r bildende K�nste, Hamburg. ------------- Limited edition
