Earlier this Month Tobias Rehberger was awarded the Golden Lion for best artist in curator Daniel Birnbaum’s Fare Mondi / Making Worlds art exhibition at the 53rd Venice Biennale.
Tobias Rehberger is a German conceptual artist with whom Warmenhoven & Venderbos cooperated during the Manifesta Biennale. Together they created the autonomous project called; Visitors of the Manifesta, a mixed media project which consisted out of a performance and a collection.
Tobias Rehberger designed the cafeteria at the Biennale pavilion (formerly known as Italian Pavilion). The jury stated: Tobias Rehberger is awarded the Golden Lion as best artist for taking us beyond the white cube, where past modes of exhibition are reinvented and the work of art turns into a cafeteria. In this shift social communication becomes aesthetic practice. La Biennale di Venezia 2009: Fare Mondi (Making Worlds).

WARMENHOVEN & VENDERBOS designed various official Olympic collections for The Olympic team from The Netherlands. These collections where designed for the brand Asics and the NOC-NSF.
These collections contained street wear-, Fashion sport as well as functional sportswear styles in order to make the garments functional during training and sports activities and perfectly suited as leisure wear in the off times the Athletes had during the Olympic games. Besides the garment collection, W&V also designed all accessories and special fan/supporter styles. Find more information about Design porjects on the WARMENHOVEN & VENDERBOS website
Inspiration for these Olympic collections came from various sources linked to the hosting countries and translated into shapes like for example technical body-lines or retro sports styles. Colours of the Olympic collections where based on the national flag of the Netherlands combined with the colour of the Royal Family; royal blue and orange combined with technical white. Also the combination orange and black was proposed, where black referred to clothing and portrait paintings of the Dutch Council of Regency in the Golden Age (17th century). The black orange combination gave a strong historical link to typical dutch cultural mentality and showed at the same time a parallel between the old Dutch masters of art and the contemporary Dutch olympic athletes.
For some members of the Official Olympic delegation of the Netherlands W&V developed Couture garments which where tailored and cut on their unique sizes and body-shapes; Sportswear Haute Couture.
The official Olympic “Tulip” logo which is used on all items and gear of the Netherlands Olympic team was also designed by Warmenhoven & Venderbos. It reflects the melting between a typical Dutch iconic flower: The Tulip which has been fused with the Olympic flame. The end result is a stylised powerful sub logo which shows the spirit of the Olympic Games and has a strong historical and traditional link with The Netherlands.
