background Publikation(1-90…) |
The starting-point for Publikation(1-90…) is simple journals in small editions like fanzines, texts from art shows, smaller art catalogues, manifests, artist books and manuals within the cultural sphere. Forms where the publishers traditionally do the work, print, and distribute the edition themselves. These types of journals are often spread in small circles of people and are not accessible to the public or at the libraries and in archives.
To achieve a greater variety of participants we have chosen a domino like method. We invited people from our network and colleagues in Sweden and abroad, and asked them to pass on the invitation.
One or more artists formed each issue and deal with a diversity of subject matters. We produced Publikation(1-90) in our "digital printing-office", with a color laser printer, a machine for bending and stitching and a cutting machine.
Publikation (1-90) is distributed at www.rollon.net. There you can order single copies and get information about content and the participants. Publikation(1-90) is also sold at the bookstore of Malmö Konsthall. The collector’s boxes you will find at the Royal Library of Stockholm and at the University Library of Lund.
Publikation(1-90) has been presented at the Panora in Malmö, the Center for Artists Books/Visual Research Center at Dundee Contemporary Arts in Scotland, Malmö Konsthall, the Skånes Konstförening together with the Swedish Archive of Artists Books, "Traveling Magazine Table", the Art in General in New York, the Art Museum in Ystad and at the "Publish and be Damned" in London.
Publikation(1-90) is run by the artists Susann Rönnerzt and Annelie Nilsson in Malmö and is made possible through the aid of the Swedish Art Council and AF Culture in Malmö and the Malmö Culture.
