UN ENORME EXERCICE
Les monotypes que ce livre rassemble et reproduit ont été réalisés en 2005 et 2006 dans l’atelier de Tito Honegger à Genève. Leur objet est d’inclure à leur technique et à leurs motifs des poèmes (ou morceaux de poèmes) que Jacques Jouet a composés in situ, dans l’atelier, au vu et au su du travail pictural. Ce sont des œuvres de collaboration. Au fur et à mesure, l’une réagit aux poèmes et se les approprie, l’autre a le loisir de commenter en direct les images qui deviennent visibles et le relancent pour de nouveaux poèmes.

Monotype : Mode de dessin ou de peinture exécuté sur une plaque de verre ou de plexiglas enduite d’une couche d’encre d’imprimerie. Le transfert sur papier est une impression à tirage unique.

Ces monotypes ont été exposés à Genève (Villa Bernasconi, Grand-Lancy) en mars et avril 2008.  Edition Un Enorme Excercise: 128 pages; 178 x 255 mm: CHF 54 / € 37.

Ricardo Bloch: Huckleberry Dick

Huckleberry Dick began as a collage work by Ricardo Bloch in 1995, and has now been published as a facsimile of the original, in a limited-edition of 250 copies, printed by Lalande Digital Art Press.

Copies are available directly from the author for only 15€ plus shipping.

Using the classic glue and scissors technique, during an obsessive spell in a cabin by Lake Superior in the summer of 1995, Ricardo blended Classics Illustrated adaptations of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Moby Dick. Starting with page one, and using two copies of each comic book, Ricardo advanced page by page until the climactic page 48. Images and/or fragments of text were cut and pasted to create a seemingly seamless hybrid story. The task was facilitated, or in fact made possible, because both Huckleberry Finn and Moby Dick are first person narratives that recount tales of personal discovery, of boats and water, and of a friendship with a man of color.

It may not completely surprise those that have read the books, that the coupling of the two stories has brought to light the subliminal homoerotic themes underlying their narratives.

The Wormton Cat : Bob Blackman

Two new one-page books from UK artist and writer, Bob Blackman. Here are The Soul Transference & Necromancer's Trade Association and The Wormton Cat. Download the PDFs and then print them out at your home, A4 size.

Bob Blackman writes about the One Page Books: "I was looking for a promotional item for my media pack and reckon One Page Books are a brilliant way of introducing people to print-on-demand and self-publishing.

"I've designed them so they match the look of my novels. There's An Introductory One Page Book to the Self-Regulating, Incorporeal Professional Body, The Soul Transference and Necromancer's Trade Association, which supports The Horsepower Whisperer, and The Wormton Cat, which serves as a taster for The Wormton Lamb. Each novel and its associated One Page Book features the same colour co-ordinated go faster stripe."

The one-page book is one of the most elegant and economical ways to produce an eight page book, in A4 or A3 sizes (or US letter and larger sizes), by simple folding and a single cut.  Perfect for artists, boutiques, and any sort of promotional efforts, a single one-sided print is all you need to create a fantastic piece for whatever you're doing – recipe books, agendas, product descriptions, catalogs, short stories, limited editions.  Get in touch if you're interested in producing your own One Page Book with Lalande Digital Art Press Paris.
