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.

Alpine Star by Ron Jude

The source of the photographs in Alpine Star is the weekly newspaper from the artist’s hometown in Central Idaho. The poetic element of these images – that unnamed, abstract subtext found in every photograph – is inflated here through the process of subtle manipulation and nuanced sequencing. While offering a world of loss and isolation, the pictures also suggest the cross-pollination of personal history and collective memory.

Svart Metall by Grant Willing

Grant Willing’s ongoing photographic series Svart Metall is a meditation on the ineffable qualities of an unsubtle musical subculture, Black Metal. Though its sonic qualities are challenging even for some metalheads, its Nordic atmospherics and paganistic themes are arguably evocative for a diverse range of artists. The photographs are allusive of the themes black metal culture treats, and presented in a surprisingly informal way—printed on bleached newsprint stock. On this ephemeral paper, the photographs retain a stately quality but gain a more disorienting sense.

Modern Life of The Soul by Melanie Bonajo

Melanie Bonajo’s series of photographs Modern Life of The Soul, created in collaboration with Kinga Kielcynzska, make up this beautifully designed tabloid-format artist’s book. Depicting it’s characters in the depths of the polish woodland, the images are deep rooted in the idea of humankind’s return to nature. Through Bonajo’s recurring use of the body as part of obscure sculptures, the work is both haunting and beautiful and somehow gives a nod to religion along the way.
