Graphic Magazine #15: Printing Journal

This issue is a “Printing Journal”, presented as a magazine within a magazine. It explores the map of contemporary printing culture and how printing actually operates by visiting printers and seeing their work in person, by interviewing an eminent graphic designer and asking how his previous work relates to printing, by having a designer’s talk to present their varying interests in the printing culture, and by inviting a few designers to fill their own pages with print work.

Contributions by Calff & Meischke Drukkerij, Extrapool (Knust),  Veenman Drukkers,  Wyber Zeefdruk, Hans Gremmen,  Harmen Liemburg,  The Uses of Literacy,  Karel Martens, Kees Maas and Richard Niessen

Lying Freely, Ruth Buchanan

In her itinerant project ‘Lying Freely’, that has evolved in various locations since June 2009, Ruth Buchanan probes questions around the tension between private and public spheres by practicing a method that might be named after the project title, Lying Freely. This has involved Buchanan weaving stories by and about the public personas of three female writers Janet Frame, Virginia Woolf and Agatha Christie into her own speculative writings. The writing becomes scripts for manoeuvring through spaces of systemization and behavioural codification, such as an archive (The Hocken Collection), a hotel (Old Swan Hotel), a library (The British Library). These spaces, each associated with one of the authors, were reconfigured in a haptic choreography performed for and within different locations that hosted the project—a monumental house, a theatre, a gallery.

Co-published by Jan Van Eyck Academie Maastricht and Casco Office for Art, Design and Theory, Utrecht.

Wear, The Journal of Homeshop #2,
by Elaine W. Ho

Located in the centre of Beijing on one of its old hutong alleyways, HomeShop is a store space turned sleeping-working-living space which uses its window front as the beginning point from which to examine our ways of relaying between public and private, the commercial and pure exchange as such. That given, temporality is a crucial aspect to the work of HomeShop, whereby these relations (e.g., maker/audience, neighbour/friend, seller/buyer) involve processes, wearing in and, perhaps, a mere letting in. We are an open platform as such, seeking to explore the possibilities given the context outside of the creative clusters of Beijing’s art industry and 798, and within a neighbourhood of steadfast Beijingers who persist amidst the literal rising of change all around them.
