Gem 10: This one is ‘in honour’ of printed matter itself — and its potential to travel. What you see — the very big fold-out — is the ‘Perfection/Speculation Explorer’ by artist Adam Peacock published in collaboration with PRAKSIS — We were happy to be part of this collaboration, starting during the pandemic and still going, and: Circulating. Shot last day of (BABF) 2026!!! 💚 Thank you so much ✨
🔮 Context: The weekend 11–12 April we joined Bergen Art Book Fair — a workshop, a booth, and a talk! We brought a recent publication with McKenzie Wark + an eminent book by w/ .club portaying q***r football players, fresh art to wear by Lucian Barbu .brb — and a lot more. Besides: Co-hosting another workshop chapter of ‘Poster JOY’, a Q***r artist culture network for Norway & Sápmi, and a presentation, too. In general: nonbinary content all over.*
