Metahaven (Vinca Kruk, Daniel van der Velden) is a studio for critical graphic design with a focus on visual identity. From research projects, such as the Sealand Identity Project (2004), Museum of Conflict (2006), and Quaero (2007), the group has moved into installation making and speculative design projects, such as Affiche Frontière (CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, 2008), Stadtstaat (Künstlerhaus Stuttgart and Casco Utrecht, 2009) and Manifesta 8 (Murcia and Cartagena, 2010). Metahaven also produces commissioned work for clients, such as the Antennae paperback series for publishing house Valiz. Metahaven’s work has been included in various group exhibitions. Their book Uncorporate Identity was published in 2010 by Lars Müller.
