Abstract or Description

E.A.R.F., Self-published pamphlets, A5 colour, 15 in total, 2017 - ongoing

“The series transposes original fictionalised biographies that aim to dramatise instances in which disparate subjectivities appear, relate, contradict, and attempt to coexist, to form a picture of the fallout, failures and flatulence of global capitalism. The pamphlets themselves are the index of specific political, aesthetic and biographical (dis)continuities, which then become the material for works and exhibitions.”

The series has been presented and sold at the Artists Self Publish Fair 1-8, London and at Miss Read Berlin. It was also included in the Bibliothek der Stadtgalerie in Bern in 2023.

Print runs and writing have been commissioned on occasion by The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Montez Press and Piper keys.

Item Type:	Artist's Book
Additional Information:	E.A.R.F. series of pamphlets, 15 in total, are included in the Stadtgalerie library. "From 2023 to 2024, the Stadtgalerie library dedicated itself to publishing as a site of artistic production. It housed an incomplete, constantly growing, and constantly changing collection of books, zines, and booklets by artists or collectives who consider this format an integral part of their artistic practice. These publications transcend the boundaries between genres: art, poetry, literature, comics, science fiction, and theory, among others. The exploration of the expanding collection of books as a practice also allowed for various open formats for using this space and display over the course of this year."
