“BOX”, Anja Schori Book Launch
12.11.2010, 6pm
Motto Zürich Store

“Dynamik, Härte, Drama, Nostalgie, Schweiß, Geschichten von Helden und Niederlagen sowie ein Hauch von Verruchtheit – die Welt des Boxens lockt viele Fotografen, Literaten und die vermeintlich bessere Gesellschaft. Längst haben sich auch die Frauen in dieser Männerdomäne behauptet und erweitern das Boxen durch ihre eigene, feminine Note. Die Fotografin Anja Schori boxt selber und nimmt an Wettkämpfen teil. Da lag es nahe, sich dem eigenen Sport mit der Kamera zu nähern. Selbstbewusst betont sie in ihren Fotografien das Weibliche, mischt in ihrem Buch “Box” dokumentarische Boxszenen mit modischen Inszenierungen, Realität mit Fiktion, Schwarzweiß mit Farbe, Schärfe mit Unschärfe. Es geht um das Boxen, ja, aber das blaue Auge kann uns hier auch mal in Form einer Augenklappe begegnen, getragen von einer attraktiven Frau mit brünettem Haar”.
Das Buch erschienen im Seltmann+Söhne Verlag,

Little & Large Editions was set up to produce and distribute little and large editions. Our plan is to offer artists the opportunity to work with us on fabricating their ideas. We want to work with both little and large artists, the hope is that the large artists will help pay for the little artists and occasionally vice versa. Our goal is to realise things and make these things available.
Our aim is to run this company as a non profit organisation.
We want to make money for artists who need money and some for those who do not.

We’d like to offer editions that we would like to own and ones that you will want to buy. Any profits, both little and large, will go directly back into running the company.

We are proud to present our first edition with Dave Allen –
It swung back and forth, back and forth until forever. Then it stopped and howled endlessly.
A 12″ vinyl record with printed sleeve will be played and for sale at Motto or through our website www.littleandlargeeditions.com

Drinks will be served – dress accordingly

Correct me if I’m critical

DISCUSSION 5 October 2010 @ Motto
Critical Imagination Against State Control

17:00 Ida Börjel and Andrzej Tichý “Citizens without Boundaries”

18.00 Perihan Mağden

As part of the the multi-venue and platform exhibition program correct me if i’m critical the discussion event “Critical imagination against state control” is based on the idea of imagines Motto, the bookstore as a place for imagination. Being composed of two reading sessions, and inviting two different practices, it aims to open a discussion about how state control and political representations are controlling public imagination, and how critical imagination is possible today in terms of activism and literature.

What is the role of literature, political fiction, and activism today in order to create a collectively conscious memory against mainstream culture and uniformity?

Adnan Yıldız will moderate the session after updating the audience with the coming publication of “correct me if i’m critical” as well as introducing the web project from Florian Zeyfang (www.florian-zeyfang.de).
