SSE #5
275c
Seoul, Korea: SSE Project. 2008
L.L.M.C. is fifth in SSE's series of zines showcasing the work of young Korean artists. Within its pages, 275c presents a series of colorful collages and drawings in which almost every figure dons his or her own Mexican wrestling mask. The masks, made with shiny silver fabric, leopard prints, and bold graphic appliques, transform the wearers into the heroic protagonists of their own dramas. Two texts, printed entirely in Korean, appear at the beginning and end of the book.

La Poudre D'Escampette : La Véritable Histoire d'Albert, Employé du Gaz, Chanteur, Fou Voyageur
4 Taxis: Michel Aphesbero and Danielle Colomine
Bordeaux, France: 4 Taxis. 2004
La Poudre D'Escampette (meaning "to leave quickly"), tells the story of Albert, lead singer of the rock band Memory Stick, as he hops on a train leaving Bordeaux to meet people and see places that he will not remember afterwards. Like Jean-Albert Dadas, who travelled from his home in Bordeaux in the 1800s to explore Europe on foot, Albert suffers from dromomania, a psychological condition in which people spontaneously depart their routine, travel long distances, and take up different identities and occupations. Albert's story is told through photographs arranged in a comic book format by 4 Taxis' Michel Aphesbero and Danielle Colomine. With text exclusively in French.

Juvenilia
Ole John Aandal
Oslo, Norway: Teknisk Industri. 2009
Juvenilia is a collection of photographic images originally taken by teenagers and uploaded to the Internet, where they caught the attention of artist Ole John Aandal. Printed as snapshot-sized color images, most have been enlarged, giving them a dreamlike blurriness or pixelation that suggests still images from television or film. As a group, they succinctly and poetically convey the short and incredibly fraught and fetishized liminality between child and adulthood. The images are accompanied by texts by Edy Poppy, Susan Bright, David Bate, Nathalie Herschdorfer, Eva Løveid Møster, and Ole John Aandal.

Plant etc.
Ryuta Abe
Kamakura, Japan: R. Abe. 2009

Separate
Ryuta Abe
Kamakura, Japan: R. Abe. 2009
With Separate, photographer Ryuta Abe presents 28 examples of object pairs found in and around the streets of Japan. Garbage cans, elastic-waist pants hung out on a stairwell to dry, vending machines, and walking pairs of identically-dressed men and women help make up Abe's inventory of doubles, which is printed with gray-toned ink on ivory paper, giving his subjects a soft and slightly hazy effect.

If This Is You, Please Don't Sue
Nick Abraham
Portland, OR: Container Corps. 2010
If the general mood of 2010 could be envisioned through the juvenile doltishness of Beavis and Butthead by way of Charles Addams' macabre imagery, it might look like the line drawings of Portland-based illustrator Nick Abraham. In his 16-page collection If This Is You, Please Don't Sue, Abraham "explores an iconography of cults, klans, conspiracy theories, subcultural fashion, and internet celebrity in a series of new drawings that use lowbrow imagery to express the physical and mental toll of a stressed public living under a failing government."

100 Pisama / 100 Letters
Marina Abramovic
Paris, France: Onestar Press. 2008
In this poignant investigation of the narratives created by personal correspondence, Marina Abramovic chronologically records the first sentence of every letter she received between 1965 and 1979 - from the first note from her mother up to the time she left her native Yugoslavia - without noting the name of the senders. Each sentence is typed in its original language (Serbian) on the right side of a two-page spread, and translated into English on the facing page, creating a condensed account of Abramovic’s life.
100 Pisama / 100 Letters positions Abramovic alongside other artists known for their idiosyncratic response to personal correspondence, from Marcel Duchamps, who burned every letter he received after reading and answering it, to Jean Tinguely, who never opened or answered letters and made a ritual of burning unopened envelopes.
