AZURAZIA, «Lowering the Mediterranean, irrigating the Sahara»: the first volume of “original soundtracks produced for film which doesn’t exist yet”. Produced in Morocco during the summer of 2011, this record contains tracks made out of local music in North Africa and field recordings, transformed and remixed. Welcome to the Azurazian world, along the lowered Mediterranea by the Gibraltar dam, and follow the adventures of Ghazi Van Keering, searching to learn the new Daseinphilosophy in wasted landscapes. A print art work is included with the record.

South Magazine #1 . Summer 2012,

SOUTH magazine a new collaboration / co- publication of LifO and Kunsthalle Athena

SOUTH is an arts and culture magazine published in Athens and distributed internationally. Possessed by a spirit of absurd authority, we will try to contaminate the prevailing culture with ideas that derive from southern mythologies such as the “perfect climate”, “easy living”, “chaos”, “corruption”, and the “dramatic temperament”, among others. Through our twisted – and “southern” – attitude…, expressed through critical essays, artist projects, interviews and features, we would like to give form to the concept of the South as a “state of mind” rather than a set of fixed places on the map. People from different – literal or metaphorical – ‘Souths’ will renegotiate the southern attitude, partly to define it and partly to invent it, within the post-crisis world. Opening up an unexpected dialogue among neighbourhoods, cities, regions and approaches, SOUTH will be both a magazine and a meeting point for shared intensities.

DIA Issue Nr. 2 – bedrucktes Papier in Zeiten der Print-Krise. Launch @ Motto Zurich, 11.05.2012

DIA Issue Nr. 2: Launch @ Motto Zürich, May 11th, 7pm.

Das DIA-Issue ist eine Print-Publikation in kleiner Auflage, die viermal jährlich erscheint und im Kontrast zur herrschenden Online-Euphorie steht. Die Faltbroschüre ist einerseits als Zeitschrift zu lesen, andererseits soll es aber auch Artefakt-Charakter haben und als Poster aufhängbar sein – die Produzenten nennen die Form dieser Publikation Feuilleton-Poster. In jeder Ausgabe werden Essays zu einem Thema abgedruckt, die von einem offenen Redaktionsteam erarbeitet werden. Diese Texte werden von einer Selektion von Dias illustrativ begleitet, wobei die Aufnahmen so ausgewählt werden, dass diese zwar sehr wohl das Ausgabenthema bebildern, sich aber ein direkter Bezug zwischen Essay und Illustration nicht zwingend sofort aufdrängt.
Die Idee für DIA-Issue entstammt dem Verlangen den fotografischen Nachlass des Herrn Dr. Rudolf Becks würdigend zu verwerten. Herr Dr. Rudolf Beck war ab 1950 für das Unternehmen Shell tätig und bereiste in deren Auftrag die ganze Welt. Er hinterliess einen überaus umfangreichen Fundus von Fotografien und Dias, die während seinen Reisen entstanden.

Cine Qua Non #4

Bilingual Arts Magazine – Winter/Spring 2011 #4

Cine Qua Non is an arts magazine of the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (ULICES) built up by movements in written form that freely crisscross reflections, reviews or essays; movements that relate music to visual arts, dance to theatre, cinema to literature. This publication intends to submit its readers to a unique editorial approach that gathers artists, researchers and teaching staff, Portuguese or foreign, proposing texts of different nature about diverse artistic expressions. Cine Qua Non is, since its first printed issue, an entirely bilingual publication (Portuguese/English) that is presented in both versions: an online edition and a printed one.

Lietuva. Stories of Everyday, Paul Paper

Only now, when I‘m abroad, I can make a book about Lithuania. It is personal and subjective (like everything I do) and not about how my country is or how it looks like. For that, check tourist leaflets. It’s about growing up in a young country full of new enthusiasm. As someone born in a nation that doesn’t exist (Soviet Union), I feel strange roots carving me and my creativity. In dialogue with tradition of romantic depiction of Lithuania, this small tribute tries to avoid telling highly-coloured visual stories of places that don’t look so nice once you actually visit them. It is here rather, through objects and moments of everyday, evoke clues and insights about land that is not easy to find on the map. – Paul Paper
