SOLIDARITY

Tuesday, June 4, 2013

THIS IS WATER

Friday, May 10, 2013

Now that the words by one David Foster Wallace have been tragically limited, we treasure each one of them, especially when they talk directly to us and about our lives (which they usually do anyway), as in his 2005 speech to a graduating class at Kenyon College. Prime Wallace with his pitch black humour that [...]

HUSTLE AND BUSTLE

Sunday, October 14, 2012

After being overwhelmed by Mike Nelson’s work in the newly discovered abandoned cabaret theater from 1920s in Berlin’s Gartenstrasse, bumping into Thames and Hudson’s new publication Berlin in the 20s was a nice coincidence.

PAPERWEIGHT

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

You might think jumping into independent publishing really is an insane idea, considering what must be overcome: non-existent profit margins, time constraints, onerous distribution terms, snooty shop owners, insane printing costs, etc. But, it seems, everyone is doing it. Why?
