Mani di Forbice

Mani di Forbice è un progetto di autoproduzione editoriale che mira alla creazione di una rivista completamente autoprodotta che si occupi di arti visive a 360 gradi. La rivista è interamente da costruire: la redazione si formerà attraverso due workshop con Canecapovolto e Autoproduzioni Teiera, realtà di calibro internazionale attive nell'ambito dell'autoproduzione editoriale, attraverso la riscoperta e la valorizzazione di tecniche do it yourself e artigianali, come la stampa a fotocopiatrice, il printmaking e l'illustrazione. Al termine dei workshop, attraverso una serie di incontri stabiliti insieme, si procederà con la strutturazione del team editoriale per la creazione del numero Zero, che verrà lanciato ufficialmente a fine dicembre 2014.

A little thing for an Italian magazine that I squeezed between my innumerable BBB assignments. My solo show opens tomorrow at ZOO, so if you’re in Bologna, please come by!

Some photos from my various endeavors at BilBolBul in Bologna. The first week was marred by the worst jetlag I’ve ever had, but the last three days made it all worth it. Elena Orlandi (who also somehow managed to translate a bunch of my comics into Italian) organized an unbelievable exhibition of my stuff (these instagrams couldn’t do her work justice, there was a projected two-layer comfy sofa, a deconstructed strip, a house of Yellow Zines and even a shadow self). Then we had a talk with three brilliant ladies: Olimpia Zagnoli, Alexandra Zsigmond and Sarah Mazzetti, moderated by Steven Guarnaccia himself, and an intensely nostalgic afterparty with most of these people at Lokomotiv, a club for which Sarah had designed a bunch of beautiful posters. I also collaborated with Teiera again (the drawing of me on the bottom & the doges are by Giulia) and taught a two-day constrained comics workshop which produced some wonderfully diverse and inventive work, which further convinced me that willful suppression of self-expression inspires great art. Unfortunately, I barely had time to walk around, notice things and see other people’s exhibits, but maybe I’ll come again another time as a visitor. Most importantly, I met a lot of lovely warm people and we laughed a great deal.

Massive thanks to the Teiera girls and everyone else responsible, I will treasure these memories until my brain expires!

Print design. I’m going to make some more of those and make them into patterns.
