Motto in Vancouver
Zurich’s Motto store/distributor has set up in Vancouver for the next few weeks, with talks and workshops planned alongside displays of magazines, fanzines and books. It all takes place at Fillip, though there appears to be nothing on their site at present.
UPDATE: Thanks Ralph for the info that it takes place at the Artspeak Space. Full details on his site.
OK Festival
As promised, here are some pictures and captions giving an impression of the weekend’s OK Festival. Thanks to Luis Mendo for sending these.
Manzine 3
Manzine returns, not only pinker and funnier than ever, but available to buy online.
Celebrate The Tree (Manzine Design Classic No3); take a photographic tour round the former Iraqi embassy in East Berlin; learn bachelor cookery. There’s even a free colour print by Ralph Steadman. And days after Monocle claimed their tote bag sales had funded their new Hong Kong bureau, enjoy Manzine’s pop-up Berlin street store (after the jump) which rather than fund a new bureau was presumably diverted to pay for the free print.
Big brown envelope… must be Stack
This months’ delivery from Stack arrived last week. The package seems to get heavier every month, with four different pieces this time.
Manzine II
The long-promised issue two of my favourite post-Arena men’s title Manzine is now out, featuring a gorilla mask on the front cover as a nod towards the Phil Collins appreciation inside. And if you’re lucky you’ll get one of the special issues with 3D rolling eyes, above.
Music fanzines surviving well
Nice piece by music writer Simon Reynolds in The Guardian.
