but in the mean time... cleverhaus   friends   what?   benefits


Cleverhäus is the umbrella term for the diseased body of work I have created in collaboration with photographer/conceptuator Dan Bernard (cleverhaus@talk21.com), and Kenneth van der Leermaker (no fixed e-abode).

Our projects have included:

  • full catalogue of the work of wildman Hungarian art-photographer Portius Titan
  • a library of poems and images pertaining to Cleetus Thumb, the angry poet of yesteryear, whose style harks back to the Barnyard Poetry of the 1930s
  • guide to little known but quite good Great British Pubs
  • the re-unification of the umlaut.

Who are the Friends of cleverhäus?

   The Friends of Cleverhäus are a group of people who are interested in design and enjoy the maintenance of this historic design gruppe. Cleverhäus has been managed by its own charitable trust since 1988. The Trust’s Governing Committee consists of people from all walks of life including members of the original shadowy trio that founded Cleverhäus. It is they who make decisions on the restoration projects and control the day to day concept-birthing. Most recently they presided over the installation of The House Colour System (taupe was chosen for its honesty and integrity) which has fully modernised the entire corporate client-interface and courtesy keyfobs.


What on earth do you get up to?

   The Friends of cleverhäus operate independently, although an elected member does sit on the Governing Committee. An individual Friend can participate as much or as little as they like in the Conceptuating©, or just enjoy the benefits listed below.
   Whether living locally or in poorer parts of the British Isles or even further afield, by becoming a Friend you will be kept informed of the progress of the design ethic, and be part of what has been called one of the exciting and important things currently being undertaken in the U.K.
       So please sign up now and find yourself amongst some new Friends!
