BOOK

Due to a sudden hole in Time, I’ve finally started printing a small book with contributions of Ad de Jong (photos), Marc Bijl (works), Antoine Boute (‘Psychopathic Polar’ and drawings), Romeo Hoornaert (a special spread work), Fia Cielen (drawings), Gerrit Komrij (a new poem), Mauro Pawlowski (a handwritten ballade, with, er, notes), Jan Verpooten (a text on the origins of art), Jim Skuldt (graphic images), Kelly Schacht (a print of the documented installation ‘The Cover Mountain) and myself (drawings).

These are all homemade, high quality inktjetprints on different kinds of paper, mostly drawing paper. Every kind of paper absorbs the ink in another way. It will have 24 pages. Working title is still ‘The Cover Mountain’, which is the title of the work by Kelly Schacht, that is included.

Size: 18cm x 18cm (7″ vinyl single size)
Edition of 50 copies only, handmade, all slightly different (with ofcourse one or two minor mistakes probably) numbered
It will be presented at the Demian Bookstore – date shall be announced later – and the price will be around €25

Hmmm. Inks on papers.
