Motto Storefront @ Artspeak, Vancouver.

May 15 – July 22, 2010

Organized by Artspeak and Fillip, with Motto.

Motto Storefront transforms Artspeak into a temporary space for the sale, presentation, and discussion of contemporary art publishing. The selection of printed matter for the store has been made by Motto, a Berlin and Zürich-based bookstore and distributor specializing in experimental, small run, and self-published artist books, magazines, and fanzines.

Talks and Workshops: Saturdays at 2pm
Motto Storefront provides the context for a series of related public programming intended to create a sustained dialogue within Vancouver on issues related to the production and consumption of art publishing. Formed around an ongoing, ad hoc residency program with international publishers, designers, artists, and booksellers, this series will take the form of weekly talks, workshops, and launches investigating alternative retail models, self-initiated design practices, and small scale publishing initiatives.

Participants will include Alexis Zavialoff (Motto, Berlin); Stuart Bailey (Dexter Sinister, New York); Rob Giampietro (Project Projects, New York); Matthew Stadler and Patricia No (Publication Studio, Portland); Wendy Yao (Ooga Booga, Los Angeles); Andjeas Ejiksson (Geist, Sweden); Stand Up Comedy (Portland); Primary Information (New York); and Abi Huynh and Ross Milne (Working Format, Vancouver), amongst others.

Upcoming Events
May 15: Opening and talk by Alexis Zavialoff at 2pm
May 22: Talk by Stuart Bailey at 2pm
May 29: Talk by Rob Giampietro at 2pm

Nieves Zine Library
As a compliment to Motto Storefront, Artspeak and Fillip are very pleased to present the Nieves Zine Library, a selection of 100 zines published by Nieves, Zürich between 2004 and 2010. Photocopied in editions of only a hundred or a hundred and fifty, and almost all long since out of print, the Nieves Zine Library includes publications by Ari Marcopoulos, Stefan Marx, Olga Prader, Mark DeLong, and many others.

Forms of Stand Up Comedy
For this project, Stand Up Comedy, Portland, has programmed a series of video documentation of lectures, presentations, and conversations conducted by other people. The topics relate to books, and are interpreted by reading, reproduction, and performance. The selections discuss artifact and style as refractive and unreliable measures, and the technique of talking about people by talking about things. Runs daily.

Kasino Creative Annual
The first edition of the KASINO CREATIVE ANNUAL is published May 1st, 2010. It is a series of stand-alone publications each of which offers an engaging point-of-view on one specific topic. KASINO CREATIVE STUDIO together with chosen members of its TALENT POOL created the KASINO CREATIVE ANNUAL — ABOUT HAIR, which focuses on the aesthetic, biological and cultural aspects of hair, revealing insights into human nature, the general way we are and, essentially, creativity. The topic is really grabbed by the proverbial short hairs!

HOME #6 – SUN MAY 9TH 2010 – JACKI TERRASSE + OPEN BBQ

ALEX BARCK – JAZZANOVA
& DIRK RUMPFF – OFFTRACK
PLAY A WILD COMBINATION

special guests:
DIRK LEYERS live – GABOM / KLANG
RICCIO – SUPER VALUE – ITALY

We are very pleased to announce that after the sudden
closing of WMF we have found a new HOME for the summer:
Jacki Terasse. Located on the riverside next to Maria, we
are looking forward to chill, grill and thrill you into the night.

For the premiere, your hosts Julie, Alex and Dirk invited two
illustrious guests to deliver the cream for the musical pie:

First, we welcome homie DIRK LEYERS, who will play a
special live set of his past, present and future endeavors.
The musical journey has led him to remixes and collaborations
with Matias Aguayo, Whirlpool Productions, Alter Ego and
Angie Reed just to name a few.

Credit to the edit is due when it comes to Riccio of SUPER
VALUE fame. The italian disco and boogie maestro is not
riding the wave of the current „cut up and go“ extravaganza
but may have caused it. Based on the idea that “value
embodies consciousness before price”, he wishes to
celebrate the many producers and musicians that became
prophets of a timeless sound.

We expect some friends, late and early birds,
a small BBQ to share, the sun & you.

JACKI TERRASSE – AN DER SCHILLINGBRÜCKE – BERLIN

Jacki opens at 15:00
Program starts at 18:00

if you live in berlin, please mail your address to d@homeberlin.net
and you might receive a mixtape & poster from your friendly mailman

POINTS OF VIEW. Forms of Contemporary Publishing
7th & 8th of May 2010
School of Fine Arts of Lyon
Les Subsistances.
8 bis quai Saint-Vincent.
69001 Lyon

POINTS OF VIEW aims to show contemporary practices that question and redefine the conventional distribution of functions and roles within the editorial process.
In its inaugural year, POINTS OF VIEW intends to highlight the school’s role in the exploration of new editorial modalities as well as in the blurring of the boundaries between disciplines.
In the context of the development of digital forms of publishing, these new critical positions — particularly through the economic models they adopt — reflect points of view that invite a new and forward‑looking approach to printed forms of contemporary publishing.
With the participation of: Revue 2.0.1, BAT, 4 Taxis, Architectural Association Publications / Bedford Press, B42, castillo/corrales / Paraguay Press, Éditions cent pages, Cneai, Occasional Papers, Dent-De-Leone, Ink, Will Holder, Hyphen Press, Motto, Revue Parade, Les Prairies ordinaires, Rietveld Academie, Roma, Rosa B.
