Words

Swiss art book publisher, and subject of a feature in Issue 10 of our magazine, Nieves, has released six new photocopied zines. The two that stand out to me are Bartworks, by frequent Yaeca illustrator Ken Kagami, and Pep, by Brooklyn-based artist James Ulmer. The other four offered are sure to have something appealing about them for those that love similar primitive, outsider illustration and at $8 are easily purchased from change found amongst your couch cushions.

Call Ampersand Response

—01. By Michael Dumontier and Micah Lexier.

Words

The art work presented in Call Ampersand Response features a unique interaction between two Canadian artists, co-published by Neives and Artexte."Over a period of several months, Dumontier and Lexier sustained an image-based correspondence by sending each other scans of book covers, found objects, drawings and illustrations belonging to each artist’s respective collection. The project is based on the idea that their collections speak of their shared artistic affinities while informing their practices. Two rules dictated their conduct: each image was to function as a 'call' seeking a 'response' from the other artist, and the dialogue was to end when an image recalling the project’s opening image emerged, thereby constituting a narrative loop."
