Thats all. Thanks everybody for the great time! Hope see you all soon!

Vietnam's reunification express

News, News! Some of you have seen the website with lot’s of new stuff. Vietnam’s Reunification Express is the first photozine we publish from the low cost photo-traveler Isma Monfort Vialcanet.

Born in Barcelona, and full time photographer and traveler. He has been always working in the audiovisuals sector, but now, he is enjoying traveling and explaining the experiences on the blog.

Fanzinant

Eneka Fernández and Sara Fernández where working together during five years, and all this time they discovered the passion of self-publishing, photography and fanzines.

Now, with all this experience during all this years, they created Fanzinant, a way to show their love for this world. They don’t only show the extensive collection they own (in a nice and clean website), they also write about them, they talk about some interesting fairs focused in self-publishing and cities where you can find nice shops to buy and have a look at this kind of stuff we love.

They have a Facebook fanpage, a like to their page could be something nice to do, no?

FLIA 2014: brief description.

The last October was eventful. The same weekend we were at the Vancouver Art/Book Fair, we were also at the second edition of FLIA. (See pictures of the last year here.)

The desk. With a flag from Slovakia as a tablecloth.

It was a very warm day, but thanks to the good faith of the girls from Lindero Libros (Noe Lavado and Helena Rovira) we could manage to fit under a sunshade. On the other side of the table we were nicely accompanied by Ignacio Navas, who was selling his last photozine «Yolanda». An amazing publication.

The girls that handdle Lindero Libros.

Overall, considering all the publishers who came and the people who attended the event, we think it’s right to think that FLIA has already become one of the major fairs to consider in the world of self-publishing.

And yes, there was some cool street music too. Thanks to all who made it possible.

Internet Romance 2

Last month we launched four fanzines, we didn't upload them all. Here is one of them, the second webcam-photo-collage zine curated by Sergi Serra, a great artist from Barcelona. You can but the zine here.

Crosta Brava

Crosta Brava is the name of the last photozine from Carles Palacio, a photographer from Girona we already work with in two previous zines: Capitalismo Barbarie and Agno3.

This work, relates to a summary of a previous long (and on-going) work of "shoots of the territory" with different atmospheres, climates and geographies. This one, specifically focused on Costa Brava, the north coast of Catalonia, a beautifull and also damaged coast, with two important natural parks: Cap de Creus and Illes Medes.

You will also notice another natural environment, located a little far from the coast but still in the same line of sight as the other images: the lake of banyoles.

The title is a pun. “Crosta” (Crust) and “Costa” (Coast) have practically the same pronunciation in catalan, but crosta sounds more forceful, unromantic and, sometimes, even rude. Brave Crust.

Juan Pablo Huércanos has been working hard for this exhibition, now available to see at the Centro Huarte (Huarte, Navarra). The exhibition/project has more than 300 self-published projects, which reflect the reality of a scene characterized by heterogeneity and agility, articulated in four key areas: hybrid books, publications related to photography and image edits, drawings / illustration and artzines accompanied, in some cases, with other complementary expressions.

Vancouver Art Book Fair review 2014

Views of the city from the Vancouver Lookout

Two weeks ago we were at the Vancouver Art/Book Fair, a event produced by Project Space that has completely consolidated as the most interesting fair on the NW Pacific coast.

Last year, we sent some photozines and this year, some of you could see them exhibited in one of the Vancouver Art Gallery floors, exactly at the New Understandings of Space. But we weren't satisfied, so this year we decided to go with all the available material (specially new stuff) and say hi to all the people in Vancouver! Here a photographic resume of the three days of exhibition.

The VA/BF archive: New understandings of Space

Thanks to everyone, specially to Tracy Stefanucci for the good job with the fair and Ted Feighan for the patience (he was my table-neighbor). Also to all the exhibitors that, at one point or another we exchanged some words (specially the last day at night :D)

The Outer Space Mobile gallery. Super good!

The desk.

Some people really interested in our stuff.

The VA/BF ended on The Cambie bar. A nice place.

October fairs: VA/BF & FLIA

Yes, October is going to start really nice. Two fairs at the same weekend: the fist one in Vancouver, were will be selling out all of the stuff, including the risograph posters from Robert Roura's exhibition at Fatbottom Bookstore.

The fair takes place the 4th and 5th of October at the Vancouver Art Gallery, 750 Hornby Street. Opening hours will be from 12:00 to 17:00 (12pm to 5pm). So, if you are from the west side of Canada or from Seattle (and surroundings) is a nice and unique chance to say hi and buy some of our photozines, comics and foils.

But if you are in Barcelona, or near, you MUST go to the FLIA, were you will find all the new stuff we have ready for you! We already been there the last year and was really interesting. A small cozy park in Vallcarca, at one minute from the subway (L3), and a very friendly neigbrhood.

FLIA is going take place only saturday 4th October from 10:00 (10am) untill... hehehe, next day maybe? Here some pictures from the past edition!
