Hey Future Shipwreck Tumblr friends! I know I haven’t been active in a long time, but I wanted to loop you in on my latest project. Queer Japan is a documentary I’m making about gender and sexuality in Japan, told through portraits of some of the most fascinating artists, activists, and community leaders in the Japanese LGBTQ+ community. 

Check out the trailer and the awesome rewards we have lined up on Kickstarter! And if you have any friends who might be interested in Queer Japan, please give them a head’s up. With only 5 days left, we need all the word of mouth we can get. Let’s spread the queer love!

Thanks!  <3 Graham

TEX  by Beau Rice Published by Penny-Ante Editions Release Date: 11/18/2014

Book trailer by Graham Kolbeins

In the twenty-first century, relationships have been transformed in unprecedented ways. Technology has birthed a paradoxical space between isolation and connectivity, profoundly expanding the possibilities for how and with whom we create intimacy.

An experiment between the epistolary and the ectype, Tex is a performance act in print. Featuring walk-ons by various interlocutors, this mnemonic outpour examines the potentiality of relationships in the digital age. Metonymic displacements, grammatical violations and verbal spillage form this rowdy non-narrative documenting one LA artist’s sexual exploits, an evolving attachment to Texas-based former fling, Matt G, and the determination and opportunism involved with the continually forthcoming publication of this, his first book.
