We bring you one last offering (for now). A handmade artist book that accompanies the zine that we also published within the exhibition over at Indecis Artist Run Space. A book of many books, it furthers the gifts presented in our last two exhibitions, the one at Indecis and the one in Ulična Galerija Belgrade. It shifts, stretches, and flips into a myriad of directions. Composed of original collaborative drawings, embroidery, cutouts, riso-and other high quality-prints all sewn together, 20 of these chimaeras are lovingly and patiently produced by us, LuciAna (Lucian Barbu and Ana Kun).
Table of contents:
Inside the book, there are several stand-alone pieces, like the zine “I touched the evil frog/from g” riso printed by Lucian at Matrijaršija, Belgrade, where the 2 posters made by Ana are also printed. There’s also a military envelope with the Romanian words for peace and liberation hand stitched by Ana, and two original collaborative drawings, one of which is about our fav0rite food (mashed potatoes) we also used to announce the communal lunch. The other drawing is made on a handmade paper we’ve made with our Balamuc colleagues and other friends. The original drawings were made by switching 20 pages between ourselves because this artist book is made in a series of 20. On the sides, there are 8+8 individual high-quality prints from the two series in our show. The cover is hand cut with a drawing by Lucian.
We express our gratitude to everyone who played a part in materializing this project :o)
You can get your hands on the book visiting Balamuc or stopping by our stand at future zine fairs.
