2024 retro: Zines

Zine making become an important part of my creative practice over the last couple of years. Last February/March we organised the sixth edition of VOLUME. The subtitle onderzoek in oplage translates as research in circulation/edition. It still inspires to apply the many sides (hah!) of printmaking as image generator, incitement and theme -in-itself.

Still, not much zine work done this year. My entries for the VOLUME #6 exhibition were:

• Of the Common Linnet and the Sanderling. Notes on the design and printing process of two bird prints.
• Release 1. A printed catalogue, in an edition of just six copies, of this series of prints, which became part of the special edition of Print & Play. The Art of LEGO Letterpress.

Zines 2025

I’m especially looking forward to create a new edition in the Bildung zine series, using a similar approach as in the first edition. A collection of my own writings, sketchbook pages, project documumentation and inspirations from the last few years. This worked really well in Bildung 1, both as a retrospective of and a compass for my own work.

VOLUME #7 opens Sunday, January 2nd in Grafisch Atelier Hilversum.
