About the lecture
The “13 z police” (13 from the Shelf) format is based on selecting and discussing books from one’s own library, focusing on their visual qualities. Graphic artist, designer and musician Pavol Čejka will present selected books and, in a performative format, explain what interests him about their illustrations, design, typography, materials, production techniques and conceptual approach. The books themselves will be present, followed by a discussion with students.
