Multicalendar Projekt - beyond calendar

Mission

Apart from the Gregorian calendar, each Multicalendar includes other calendars e.g. Mayan, Chinese, Indian ones, but also curiosities of a given year. Among others, those could be eclipses, moon phases and miscellaneous information such as constellations or the fourth dimension visualization.

Calendars are printed on materials of the highest quality: synthetic paper, foils or, as this year’s edition, premium class paper. It is all designed to ensure their longevity. Due to the fact that the Gregorian calendar repeats after 28 years (for leap years), it can be used multiple times. Additionally, thanks to its timeless design, it has a decorative function.

History

The first Multicalendar was created just before 2010.

In a wooden cottage on the border of large lakes and woods. It sounds like a fairy tale, but it is true. The project is intended for 28 years since the Gregorian calendar is repeated after that time.

Each Multicalendar contains a set of interesting information about the world or events occuring in the particular year. Multicalendars are printed in screen printing technology because it allows us to use papers and other materials of the highest quality. From the very beginning, Multicalendars have been issued in limited and manually numbered editions of 50 items what makes them additionally unique.

Paweł Piłat

I was born in 1982 in Gliwice. In 2009 I graduated from the University of Humanities and Economics (Visual Arts department) in Lodz. I participated in national and international exhibitions. In the years 2006 - 2009 I worked as an assistant in the departmental lab and photographic dark room of the university. Since 2010 I have run Venedi, my own creative agency and photographic studio. I live and work in Szczytno, Poland.
