Public Library

Public Library is an independent publishing house based in Santiago, Chile, that publishes the work of architects, artists, photographers and designers. It was founded in 2008 by architect Emilio Marin and graphic designer Diego Córdova. The output allows architects to experiment with printed matter including zines and posters.

DRIFT STATION - Bookstore & Show
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

March 2 – April 25, 2012
Opening: Friday, March 2  |  7:00-10:00pm

-

A temporary store of over 1,000 artist books, zines, & other unusual print publications

-

During March and April, Drift Station will become a temporary bookstore and reading library where the public can browse and purchase artworks. Bookstore is the result of an international open call for artist books, zines, comics, and other unusual publications.

Totaling over 1,000 printed works, Bookstore includes works ranging from handcrafted works to photocopied pamphlets to print-on-demand books from all across the world. This exhibition represents the uniqueness and idiosyncrasy that can exist in print, perhaps the most egalitarian and inclusive art forms.

-

All work will be for sale for under $30 or are free. Sales from Bookstore will go directly to the artist with a portion of the proceeds going towards future programming at Drift Station.

Panda & CL

If you haven't heared about PANDA, you're late!

Split featuring Combustione & Liberazione and fellow project Panda from Macerata (Italy). Macerata means 'Macerated' in english and Panda have here three monolithic ultrasaturated rotten raw tracks. Combustione & Liberazione adds a long one that starts with digital whips and ends in a long tail you can even psych-dance on. This fits all tastes.

Invisible Fields

Openning 14 october, 2011 at 7.00 p.m. | Laboratory

Trevor Paglen, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Thomas Ashcraft, Timo Arnall, Anthony DeVincenzi, Joyce Hinterding, Semiconductor, Job Ramos, Clara Boj and Diego Díaz, Matthew Biederman, Rasa Smite & Raitis Smits (RIXC), Irdial Records, Guifi.net, Plataforma Cero LABoral and Luthiers Drapaires.

Invisible Fields explores how our understanding of our world and our cosmos has been transformed by the study of radio waves. With the invention of telecommunication technology at the end of the 19th century, the radio spectrum became a tool for rethinking the world we live in.

Radio collapsed geographical distance, crossed borders and cultures, became a powerful catalyst for commerce and enabled scientists to study the cosmos in entirely new ways. Yet whilst the radio spectrum is the invisible infrastructure that enables the technologies of information and communication, most people are unaware of the way it works, how it is managed, and how it is has shaped our understanding of our lived environment.

Invisible Fields aims to shine a light on this enigmatic landscape. The exhibition differs from past explorations of these topics, in that it is conceived as an interdisciplinary blend of social-cultural analysis, science communication, and artistic practice.

A Mobile Library

26 November 2011 - 12 February 2012 in the Hirschfeld Gallery

Public space, carefully lit, where people go to look, to read, to be alone. To think thoughts too large for bedrooms and houses. To kill time before eating cake and digesting it later, to take shelter from the weather, to return and look again. Public galleries and libraries have a lot in common. In City Gallery the relationship is a more literal one: the Gallery's current building originally housed the Wellington Public Library, until 1991.[1] A Mobile Library recalls this history, adopting the function of a library while considering ways that publications, print media of all kinds, and the act of reading relate to contemporary art production.
This exhibition offers three different experiences of text: typographic design by Joseph Churchward and Kris Sowersby (in collaboration with graphic designer Duncan Forbes from The International Office); a reference library of loaned artists’ books and small press publications; a curated selection from graphic designer (and co-editor of The National Grid) Luke Wood’s library. Publications are essential to the way contemporary art is documented, circulated, promoted, and received. This exhibition suggests they represent a vital interface for contemporary art’s audience, and for its makers.
The library presented here is primarily sourced from individual’s collections. A widely circulated call requested the short term loan of publications (by or about artists and designers and produced, authored by, or focused on New Zealand makers) from the last six years. The resulting compilation includes contributions from a vast range of libraries, mobilised for an exhibition offering a cross-section of what this self-defining community of believers-in-print are reading, writing and making.
Design is fundamental to the narrative about publication and print. Here the relationship is explored in the publications themselves, in a series of posters by Sowersby and Forbes, and in samples of Churchward’s type design on the gallery’s end wall. The buoyancy and expressive punch of Churchward’s alphabets earned him international standing from the late 1960s, when he founded what became New Zealand’s largest typesetting firm, Churchward International Typefaces. Three typefaces—Churchward Brush, Churchward Design and Churchward Conserif—articulate statements from a prolific designer whose work continues to engage a wide audience of contemporary designers.

Sowersby and Forbes’ posters feature the ISBN and publishing information of design-related books instrumental within their respective practices. Eloquently re-presenting the coded and technical detail relating to a book’s production, cataloguing and distribution, these works intimate the role of design in crafting every element of a text, while suggesting an alternative categorisation of the book, as physical object, or unit of archived data.
The design of a space and its furniture plays no small part in our experience of reading and of the room. Candywhistle designer Holly Beal’s Gallons table, Print-rung bench seat and reading desks acknowledge and respond to the singular ways people like to read and occupy communal space. Temporarily encamped in a gallery, this library exists to be useful; please take time to handle the publications, to consider the architecture of letter forms, and to read.

Actor / Actress

A pornographic actor/actress or a porn star is a person who appears in pornographic film. Most actors appear nude in films (usually filmed in explicit sexual genres). Most genres have specialists who achieve most of their recognition in a specific niche market such as lesbian sex, bondage, strap-on sex, anal sex, double penetration, semen swallowing, teenage women, interracial or MILFs.
Some legal jurisdictions consider commercial pornography a form of prostitution, though most commercial sex film performers do not regard themselves as prostitutes for various reasons, but rather as actors or models.^{[citation needed]} Most notably these performers are not paid directly by their sexual partners for the sex, but both are paid through a studio or Talent Management Agency.

Canzine West Portrait: Aaron Read

Meet Aaron Read, artist extraordinaire from Burnaby B.C., who created this year’s Canzine West poster (above) along with Jaz Halloran. Aaron is currently in his final year of study at Emily Carr University where he’s working towards a degree in visual art with a specialization in drawing. His work focuses on what he calls “visual instancies:” the interaction that occurs between imaginative space and figurative interactions.


Aaron had this to say when Broken Pencil asked him what he was most excited for at Canzine West:
“I am looking forward to seeing all the wonderful publications and the wonderful people who make or are involved in their distribution. Canzine West is a good opportunity to see work that might not make its way to book stores, or something self published that only a friend of the maker would have access to. These rare little finds are often the gems that blow your head back and make you stare at paper for hours.”

You can see a full line-up of events at this year’s Canzine West page here.
