1:1:1 # 1 Eylem Aladogan Niessen and de Vries Drukkerij Mart. Spruijt

1:1:1 is a series of publications in which printing matter converges with the subject matter, the image with the text, the reproduction with the original and the designer and the printer with the client. An artist, designer or musician is the point of departure for each of the numbers in this series, and the subject of conversation is the basis for investigating graphic design and printing as a form of expression.

Epistle To Westphalia by Super A

In his newest book the Melanesian theorist and theologian SUPER A presents an insightful chronicle into the future of cargo cult. Extracted from the practices of his home island, New Hanover, SUPER A (formerly known as the alter ego of stunt legend Evil Knievel. ) elaborates on the basics of the cult and shows the difficult implications of simulation and over-identification today. While under the influence of US Army in the mid 40’s and 50’s the islanders of Melanesia developed an ostentatious practice mimicking the US culture, worshipping the wealth (cargo!) of the foreigners in the hope of its return. What became hereafter ridiculed by many for its naivety, the islanders cleared the indigenous forests, built faked airplanes and landing strips, even elected Lyndon Johnson to be their president, poses a challenge to the dialectics of economy and creativity, but is a model for marketing and political resistance, as Prof. Dr. Liebl shows in his epilogue. In this step-to-step manifesto the book draws from the rich heritage of cargo cult and shows its renewed promise for the 21st century. The book combines a richly illustrated part and an epistle to the land of Westphalia (Germany). For anyone involved directly or indirectly with cargo cult, this highly acclaimed book is essential reading.
