S01 EP10: From mistakes to ass-kick ideas with Erik Kessels

In conversation with Erik Kessels, Dutch artist, curator, communication designer and Creative Partner of KesselsKramer, Amsterdam.
In this episode, we discuss how to use and embrace all the mistakes and f***k ups within the creative process. As design software and tools have opened the doorway to perfectionism, sometimes it's ok to stick everything in a metaphoric washing machine and mix things up a little. A very engaging conversation packed full of inspiration, practical tools and how to master the art of looking sideways within the ideation process.

Erik Kessels is a Dutch artist, curator and communication designer, with great interest in photography. Since 1996, he has been the Creative Partner of communications agency KesselsKramer in Amsterdam/London and has created campaigns for national and international clients such as Nike, Diesel, J&B Whisky, Oxfam, Vitra, Citizen M, I amsterdam and The Hans Brinker Budget Hotel. Kessels has won many international awards with his communication work. Kessels has published over 75 books of his 're-appropriated' images, has taught at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (Amsterdam), Écal (Lausanne), Raffles (Milan) and at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture where he curated a celebration of amateurism. He has been called “a visual sorcerer” by Time Magazine and a “Modern Anthropologist” by Voque (Italia).
