Public ISBD 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 : 978-3-95905-104-0 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.
