    Markus Dressen, Germany (2004)

    Markus graduated from the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts & Graphic Design in 1999. Between 1999 and 2002 he taught at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts as an assistant lecturer. The collaborative project Spector was founded in 2000 and Markus is co-editor of its magazine outlet, cut+paste. What is Spector? It can be an office, a magazine, a network or even a temporary venue in Leipzig. Even so, work on publications on contemporary fine art is still at the core of Spector. Since 2004 he has been senior lecturer for first and second year graphic design at the Leipzig Academy. The Studio’s work includes book designs for contemporary artists. Clients include, among others, the Leipzig Museum of Contemporary Art, Leipzig Opera, Dresden Museum of Technology and the Arts Council of the Free State of Saxony. Markus has received numerous national and international awards for his design work, such as the Golden Letter in the competition for The World’s Best Designed Books 2004.
