REPLIKA PUBLISHING
As in a game of telephone, or a broken radio transistor, Ellipse is about passing information through a fragmented loop. Human relationships, in particular familial and marital, are explored through folding and rusting forms, the longing for connection with nature and urban spaces and the search for an art practice equivalent to a close friend’s embrace. The notion of a cyclical history of a precious material becoming commonplace. The female form retraced until almost all trace is lost. Mechanical attempts to counterfeit imagination.

REPLIKA PUBLISHING

GERMANY

Replika Publishing is an independent publishing house producing work under two main branches; Replika Volumes and Replika Artist Books. Influenced by ‘Fluxus’, we explore new methods of exhibition through printed matter and book arts. We seek to provide artists with a platform which is indiscriminate when it comes to place, gender, and career, and one which is able to focus purely on conceptual engagement. Replika Volumes are three dimensional artist periodicals featuring the works of a selection of international artists and Replika Artist Books are single artist publications produced in close collaboration with selected artists with a particular focus of photography.

BARTLEBOOTH

SPAIN

Bartlebooth is an editing and research platform that examines contemporary spatial practice, founded in 2013 and currently developed by Antonio Giráldez López and Pablo Ibáñez Ferrera.

Bartlebooth's recent publication, Learning to Live Together by Urtzi Grau & Guillermo Fernandez-Abascal, engages the space of the street as one for collective action and urban speculation. It invites the reader to culturally construct technology while joining public scientific demonstrations, but more importantly it aims to mobilize the imagination when it comes to reclaiming, redesigning and governing the street as common ownership - a shared space for collective gathering between kerbs, cars and humans.

Kim Taeryeong's artworks reflect personal life experience, feelings and thoughts - usually taking form in image journals.

The process involves capturing images from print and recontextualizing them with photography driven by subconscious. This allows to organize the imagery as a story. Although the story is personal, it alsoexplores a theme or broadcast a message to the world.

Kim Taeryeong is currently residing in Melbourne creating art and working on a new book, which will be released in March 2021.

The Ilam Press is a non-profit arts publishing project established by Aaron Beehre and Luke Wood in 2011. The press operates as a center for both teaching and research at the school, while also providing significant connections and working relationships with artists, designers, curators, and institutions in New Zealand and internationally.

Ilam Press' most recent publication, No Planet B, is by artist Jon Campbell about the virus that emerged from our stressed planet at this time added new expressions into the mix as the community worked to ‘flatten the curve’ and felt that ‘a breathing space between disasters would be good’.

For many years as a way of easing her apprehension with the lack of action on the unfolding climate crisis, Bronwyn Johnson kept a list of climate related expressions. These expressions focussed on ecological extinction, bushfire, water and heat.

Jon Campbell re-worked and edited these sayings into 15 paintings. Jon sent these designs to Aaron Beehre at Ilam Press in Christchurch, NZ who then worked his magic with the Risograph printer to produce this limited-edition artist book of stunning prints.

Keep a sharp eye out and you might find Dylan creeping around your neighbourhood taking an awkward photo of your driveway, or your neighbours gnome collection.

Mind Head is a ground-level publishing outlet. Our intention has always been to document and time capsule the seldom accessed – from core graffiti to off the beaten track travel stories. Data anxiety – fear of hard drive failure – gave impetus to our inaugural publication, Crunch Time. A six-part graffiti magazine series 2012-2016 which catalogues some of the most important players in Melbourne’s purist art movement. We followed it up with Lost On Earth, 2016-present – a road yarns and memoirs compilation. Within the first six issues you’ll find tales of jail, freight train hopping, boats sinking, enlightenment and more.

CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY

MELBOURNE

Exhibitions are restricted by time, but the exhibition catalogue lives on; both as a piece of design and “time capsule” representing the social, political, personal and cultural concerns formed within an art exhibition. The exhibition catalogue reflects the concerns of yesterday and today, which inevitably reframe tomorrow.

CCP presents a community of creatives — designer, artist, writer, editor, curator — involved in producing a selection of catalogues from its 35-year history, alongside our upcoming catalogue for photographer Ruth Maddison, to talk to the production process and concerns of these “multiple todays” and how they are vital for thinking about tomorrow.

ALICE OEHR
Recipes with Friends, 2020.

ALICE OEHR

MELBOURNE

Designer Alice Oehr took the year of the pandemic to indulge her fetish for printed matter after a career (and social life) spent dealing largely in pixels.

A long-time love project, Recipes with Friends, was brought to life as a thick, spiral-bound shrine to the art of the family recipe. More than 200 of them unite with Alice’s playful illustrations to liberate home chefs from the rigmarole of Insta-worthy dinners and guide them towards someone else’s grandma’s fish pie.

Produced entirely in lockdown and published as the first offering of Carte Blanche Editions, the book encapsulates the commercial artist's dream to run wild with nothing but an idea and a whole lot of je ne sais quoi.

Founded in 2013, Inflection is a home for provocative writing—a place to share ideas and engage with contemporary discourse.

Inflection Vol. 07 offers provocations to the discipline of architecture, which explore how borders, both tangible and intangible, are manifested in physical space. Through the diverse and valuable perspectives of authors from around the globe, Inflection Vol. 07 carefully addresses a multitude of issues. In a profession built on the promise of permanence, how can architecture accommodate the transient and those displaced by conflict and crisis? How might designers respond to existing and impending states of emergency? How can we assert local values within a system that routinely preferences global ambitions and universal aesthetics? Inflection Vol. 07 welcomes you to investigate the expansive power of boundaries, and its forms of control and exchange within its pages, and beyond.

Inflection is available as a paperback and as a digital flipbook — accessible via a special link and code which you will receive after purchase.

TERRAIN PROJECTS

TERRAIN PROJECTS

MELBOURNE

The TERRAIN Bookshelf emerged as a concept from the National Gallery of Victoria’s Art Book Fair in 2020, to illuminate the transformative power of art and design publishing for engaging critical dialogues across fields of ecology, technology and culture.

Through the power of art and thoughtful design, we can produce cultural frameworks that improve the way humans embrace their urban precinct as a habitat encompassing a positive and mutualistic relationship with the non-human world.

Recognising too, how technology has encroached upon our understanding of ‘life’ helps us come to terms not only with the technologies we have produced, but what it means to be human.

In a broader sense, this approach seeks to address wider ecological solutions continuously undermined by human (Homo Sapien) and more-than-human (human, atom, plant, machine, animal) separation - particularly during a time where printed words and images are seen as invaluable offline assets, outside of the virtual abyss that ensued with pandemic normativity.

The Bookshelf consists of a selection of publications, that individually utilise a unique language of design to communicate their stories across our key fields of interest. All of these stories held on the Bookshelf, when placed in association with one another, collectively share the vision of TERRAIN and the transformative effect non-fiction art forms can play in understanding our human-nature relatedness, as humans living in a more-than-human world.

Surpllus is also intended as an inquiry into contemporary publishing strategies — projects therefore differ in respect of form, print run and mode of distribution.

GAIL HASTINGS

MELBOURNE

Gail Hastings is a practising artist with over thirty years of exhibitions throughout Australia and overseas. Gail makes sculptural situations.

Ever since an art history lecture on Minimal Art in 1987, Gail has been dedicated to what she thought were, at the time, the work’s main precepts. By 1993, when Donald Judd wrote that this work had no history, no context nor terms with which people could grasp its spatial occurrence, Gail had already encountered this. Against the odds, then, Gail’s particular practice has enjoyed considerable attention. Forever dedicated, however, to the precepts that first prompted her thirty years ago, Gail continues to seek the terms with which others might grasp what is most extraordinary about this type of work.

WAYNE SMITH & CHRIS NORMAN

MELBOURNE

Creatives and Educators, 313RGB (Chris Norman) and Wayne Smith reflect on their international collaborative workshop and exhibition held in early 2020. Where participants collaborated using random image-making processes to provoke unexpected outcomes.

Open Collab: Global/Local, addresses the learnings from this workshop, with insights from Open Collab founder Patrick Thomas, interviews with participants and mentors and visual essays from photographers including Josh Robenstone.

Harnessing the programming language Processing, they have created a generative layout system which formulates chance. By combining randomisation with variable printing techniques, they produce a limited run of publications that are completely unique. An experiment in designer/algorithm collaboration.

Their book addresses critical and speculative ideas of collaboration, randomisation, design systems and the importance of play through design.
