柏林Mono的日记_东京展

Kai von Rabenau是个让人觉得不可思议的人。自身的专业态度、对摄影的投入、制作杂志、创立服装品牌、平面设计工作室、举办各种活动… … 然而对我和Wei，对香蕉鱼来说最温暖的是他对我们的友好和帮助，他是一个非常热情亲切的人：发来问候的邮件、询问mono.kultur在中国地区的销售情况、担心我们的进货渠道、为香蕉鱼书店实体店做报道，以及对我们制作的第一本摄影书A r i a的喜欢。这一路的相伴让这段远距离的友情，随着我们希望在将来更坚定地做独立出版的梦想，更加难能可贵，如此珍惜。

我们很想能倾听他的故事，想现在就能飞到东京去参加他以及整个mono团队今天在Colorworks Palette的开幕展览和讲座。2012年对Kai和mono的头一件大事就是收到了东京Palette Gallery和Utrecht书店的邀请，将mono工作室自成立以来所做的项目以及创办人Kai个人摄影、平面作品布展陈列。

we will be showing an overview of mono.graphie’s photography practice, showcasing a selection of editorial, fashion and personal work, extracting a palette of colour and atmosphere from daily life; whereas our womenswear imprint mono.gramm will give a sneak peek into its playful light-handed approach to fashion design, and mono.kultur, of course, will display the first 30 issues of our uniquely popular interview format.

今天晚上6点的开幕活动，Kai和Utrecht书店店长及出版人Hiroshi Eguchi将有一次柏林-东京的对话，如果你在东京，就一定不要错过了哦。Dear Kai, we are so proud of you!!!

展览时间：03 – 17 February 2012
Opening / 03 February 2012 / 18 – 20 h Talk / 18 h 30 / Kai von Rabenau & Hiroshi Eguchi / Utrecht

Archizines米兰艺术书展

移动的Zine图书馆 (Travelling Zine Library)的项目理念类似于移动图书馆活移动书店，移动意味着与人、与物接触，移动代表着传播与推广。在世界范围内的艺术书籍杂志收藏与移动展览正在行动起来。伦敦巴黎两地奔跑的策展人及撰稿人Elias Redstone和他的Archizines就是其中一员，他的收藏品味集中在建筑上(Architure vs Zines)。Archizines.com 上可以比较清晰明了地知道他现在正在做的事情，这个世界到底有多少独立杂志和小册子正在关注建筑呢？建筑的诠释在Archizines中是广义上的，所以我们能看到喜爱的西班牙独立杂志Apartamento也列于其中；巴黎Preston is my Paris出版的同名摄影zine，以报纸的形式出刊也收录在内，去年11月份Archizines伦敦展上共有60种来自不同地区的Architecture Zines展出。

Elias Redstone策展的开放式图书馆(Open Zine Library)在伦敦的空间，以及现在正在米兰的艺术书展空间设计尤其让人印象深刻(图中所示)。如果你此时正在米兰，可以到现场去感受以及欣赏丰富的建筑Zine文化。

Archizines in Milan 时间：27 January – 23 February 2012

［文章推荐］独立刊物书店Perimeter采访

Perimeter - A New Hub of Curated Books and the Printed Form 文章来源：这里

位于澳大利亚维多利亚省的Thornbury市的Perimeter Books创办者之一Dan Rule接受采访，关于这家关注小型出版社和艺术家个人作品的书店的创办理念和未来书店发展规划的文章推荐给大家。划线部分为我个人作参考借鉴、喜欢的句子。

Like its name suggests, Perimeter is teetering on the edge, resting on the periphery and enticing lovers of books and the printed form. We spoke to co-owner, Dan Rule, about his recently opened book store in Thornbury.

Occupying a space formerly held by Modern Journal in the somewhat abandoned end of High Street, Perimeter is a beautifully curated shop of rare books and small press. It settled rather circumstantially, filling a gap that still sees the distributer operating from out the back, passing occasionally, as Dan puts it, “a goldmine of books through the separating curtain”.

Yet the majority of design books and small press are personally selected by Dan and his wife Justine before being sat, face out, on simple shelving that decorates the white canvas walls with an explosive hit of colour. Meanwhile, doors turned into contemporary desks displaying uncommon titles and a collection of potted plants that aims to bring warmth and “avoid that austere gallery feel”.

It’s minimal, but charming. Drawing upon a mix of Japanese aesthetics, Perimeter presents itself in a style that is “half architectural, half handmade and contemporary enough to let the books do the talking,” Dan explains. These books arrive from a range of local and international publishers, and include rarities from houses such as NoBrow (London), PostEditions (Rotterdam) and Nieves (Switzerland).

Dan highlights Bad Couples, by LA-based artist Nicola Pecoraro, as a personal favourite, describing it as “small press at its best”. This simple publication endears itself to you with its strikingly awkward and naively painted faces that are now in the hands of Perimeter’s first non-friend customer.

“These books would get lost in a mainstream bookstore,” Dan notes, speaking about what could almost be viewed as his personal library. I am informed of the visual and tactile beauty in each and every publication as he delicately turns the crisp pages, identifying the varying stocks and stitched bindings in a way that naturally hints at his other business venture: a small publishing company called And Collective, who publish the Erm Books imprint, which he runs with wife, Justine, and friend and illustrator, Marc Martin.

“We really believe in this form of design,” says Dan, backing up their self-confessed obsession with publishing, which leads nicely into their planned in-store exhibition space that will promote artists with a relationship to the printed form. Coming up we can expect to see temporary shows from talents such as Marc Martin, Unchalee Anantawat, Louis Porter, Oliver Mann and Oslo Davies. For now, close friend and photographer Michelle Tran graces the behind-the-counter wall space with her prominent tableau-style photos.

So what else can we expect from Perimeter? “We’d like to become almost like an inspirational hub: a place where people can gather, meet and enjoy this space,” Dan says.

It’s hard not to be humbled by his passion for the printed form. There’s no doubt that Dan has a distinct knack for selecting and curating books which, paired with his openness to discovering new artists and publications, will no doubt fuel the future direction for Perimeter and decorate many-a Melbourne coffee table with something just a bit more special and unique.

下北沢世代「ART BOOK PROJECT」

下北沢世代：http://zineart.tumblr.com/

據統計，光是美國境內一地，至少就有超過兩萬份的zine，以郵購方式進行流通，而像英國、瑞士、法國、德國甚至澳洲也都有很紮實的zine文化基礎。有感於台灣以往比較缺乏相關資訊來引進介紹，因此下北沢世代書店特地與今藝術雜誌，共同舉辦了「ART BOOK PROJECT」的線上徵選活動，公開對外募集zine的創作。讓鮮少接觸zine的人可以瞭解認識，並進一步實際參與zine的活動。

這次徵件不乏從美國、英國、德國、香港等地募集而來的zine作品，就連台灣也有遠自澎湖離島來的投件，參與者包括藝術家、美術老師、學生與品牌設計師等形形色色的創作者，實在是大出我們預期之外。2012年新改版的今藝術「ARTickle」將就入選的五位創作者及作品進行專題介紹。
