Season's readings....
Well with the on-and-off cultural offereings I felt like a fireman, getting called out of the couch just when the book became interesting - and then some, to also produce in theses circumstances, wondering if anyone will ready anyhow... but here is a (partial) rundown of some catalogs leaving imprssions...
carrier bag fiction, with essays on theory but also an interesting cover concept...DNA/HKW
Münters photographs, had it for a while but got it out of the shelf again for a project and rediscovered again how important it is... (Lembachhaus)
Lizène trew us for a loop again by disappearing so - his first tome follows or does not the inexistent first, or third or whichever... (Yellow Now)
Having tried to stay out of sight for ages we now take the opportunity to be amazed at the productivity we always suspected but never knew... LGP
Also an eye-opener cancerning a well-known name, but even now, a new slant - nice exhibition catalogeue by the Gulbranson Museum in Tegernsee...
Managed to get ip out there as a extra-thick magazine, the first of a projected series on our lost Jef Lambrecht as RVR 18
interesting brochure-catalog by Merzedes Sturm-Lie, who we think will still be going palces...
earlier / much earlier (summer) theme-brochures by Roel jacobs
on how apples are vandanlized by birds, various cuts (reminding me of a work with apples & chairs from way back) and Traces of plastic (and mirco-probable -) in the garden soils of us all..

Refurbish review
... busy with the refurbishment of the rear view review as well as La Jeune Avrill,
decided to still produce paper versions after all
so, a retroguard action is needed and underway
more soon!
in fact we've gone further, nr 11. 1 is out too
(this being a mock-up: we decided to try another printer and the electronics balked,
so that we now have a 'LJA/D 11.1' instead..
but:
as is (finally) another issue of the RVR
which has been dormant for ever so long - now in new & fitness shape... way to go

High time back again
ReVamp ReConsider
Yes it's been a very long time – and this site has been somewhat overlooked, not being in the main stream of activities of late, even though there might be references one could easily include here – take for instance the archival activities which have churned up some old prints – lithography from way back, and yes, if I may say so, surprisingly good – along with others that have been rolled up in the dark for ever so long.. time to get them out again and have a second look (der Zweite Eindruck – a really nice poster from Vienna I used to have on my wall...)
And then there were more performative projects which resulted in quite some text-documentation to which I in fact need to contribute more (there is a run-down on the site of the European Theatre of Operations... and a blurb in the upcoming 'Emergency Index' put out by Ugly Duckling Presse... but I will have to elaborate – some of this stuff was slowed down or altogether halted because of the Covid crisis and such...)
bundle of writing on the project at Chicago 'what remains' collated by I. Trinks (see ETO blog)
And then there are the own production which have been languishing – making a heroic attempt to get them back up to date and viable... more on that soon...
