Repertoire⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ A monochromatic publication that brings together a series of texts written and designed by graphic designer Maziyar Pahlevan. Educated in Iran and the Hague before obtaining his MFA from Yale, Pahlevan's work explores language, psychology, linguistics, letterforms, as well as free association. A dozen discrete pieces merge the political and the personal, balancing type play, drawn marks, and visually poetic constructions.⁣ ⁣ #MaziyarPahlevan #DrawDown #Repertoire #graphicdesign @printingplantartbookfair #Looiersgracht60 #Amsterdam #PrintingPlant #AmsterdamArtWeekend #ArtbookFair #PrintingPlantArtbookFair #ArtBooks #IndependentPublishing #contemporaryart #artistbooks #fair #arttalks (at Looiersgracht 60) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DEivInFpH/?igshid=w3giqzig3kpl

Hardcore Fanzine: Good and Plenty, 1989-1992⁣⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Focused on seven issues of Good and Plenty fanzine produced in the late 1980s/early 1990s, Hardcore Fanzine looks at the series through the lens of graphic design and typography, as a project that reflected and embodied technology of the period. Contributions from graphic designers, graphic design educators, and hardcore enthusiasts trace the history of zines and photoduplication; the idea of the body in punk and hardcore; how zine-making created community and alternative social space in a pre-Internet era; key typefaces used in straight edge iconography; and the importance of zines to successive generations of designers.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A text by Walter Schreifels—American musician, member of Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Quicksand, and many other bands—places G&P in historical context, outlining the context for individual issues and highlighting specific moments in the cultural and sonic landscape.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #DrawDown #graphicdesign @printingplantartbookfair #Looiersgracht60 #Amsterdam #PrintingPlant #AmsterdamArtWeekend #ArtbookFair #PrintingPlantArtbookFair #ArtBooks #IndependentPublishing #contemporaryart #artistbooks #fair #arttalks #straightedge (at Looiersgracht 60) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DH1XMHiw7/?igshid=10zj1klii0rm5

Goon Dok⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ "Until the whole world ends..." A series of playful sculptural assemblages and object photographs by Serious Makers. Plastic bobbles and doodads, kitchen implements and glaring eyeballs pair with unknown tools from the last aisle of the five and dime. The figures anthropomorphize themselves; each piece becomes an archetype drawn from the classic mythology of The Goonies.⁣ ⁣ #DrawDown #graphicdesign @printingplantartbookfair #Looiersgracht60 #Amsterdam #PrintingPlant #AmsterdamArtWeekend #ArtbookFair #PrintingPlantArtbookFair #ArtBooks #IndependentPublishing #contemporaryart #artistbooks #fair #arttalks (at Looiersgracht 60) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DFaIEnaFS/?igshid=1hfctpge9isz4
