| Titre : | Under the Radar : Underground Zines and Self-Publications 1965-1975 | | Type de document : | texte imprimé | | Auteurs : | Jan-Frederik Bandel, Auteur ; Prill Vieceli, Maquettiste ; Bradley Schmidt, Traducteur | | Editeur : | Leipzig [Allemagne] : Spector Books | | Importance : | 1 vol. (368 p.) | | Présentation : | ill. en noir et en coul. | | Format : | 34 cm | | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-3-959051-04-0 | | Prix : | 38 EUR | | Langues : | Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Allemand (ger) | | Index. décimale : | EDI Edition | | Note de contenu : | The mid-1960s witnessed a boom in underground and selfpublished works. Hectographs, mimeographs, and offset printing not only allowed for the production of small, lowcost print runs but also promote a unique aesthetic: using wild mock-ups, »messianic amateurs« combined typescript aesthetics, handwriting, scribbled drawings, assemblages of collaged visuals, porn photos, snapshots, and comic strips. The typography consciously frees itself, in parallel to a liberalization of linguistic and visual forms of expression in the name of a new »sensibility«. This book (which appears in conjunction with an exhibition at the Weserburg in Bremen) is the first to present the underground and self-published works that came out of West Germany in such depth, while also showing the internationalcontext in which they emerged: not as an anecdotal history but as an attempt to tap into the aesthetic cosmos of a Do-It-Yourself rebellion, one that also challenges us to take a new look at the current boom in »independent publishing«, the risograph aesthetic, and so on. |
