The Lecture Erik Kessels is a world-renowned Graphic Designer, Advertiser, Photographer, Curator and Artist. Theres nothing stereotypical about Kessels or the work of his Amsterdam/ London-based ad agency KesselsKramer. For many observers of the visual communication scene, KesselsKramer is one of only a handful of advertising agencies producing work that rises above the level of consumerist background noise, often witty, irreverent, almost anti-advertising. Erik will be sharing his experience and insight, as well as personal views and stories on his amazing body of work. Being the renaissance man, Erik will hopefully share a mix of the work of KesselsKramer alongside his various experiments, found photography, publishing and various other creative endeavours.
