It came out of the idea that within certain disciplines, artistic and otherwise, various cross-references occur, both with individuals and the material of their particular interest. Rather than remaining isolated and apart, either through an unaware and uninformed (or aware and informed) malaise, there is a need to commingle arenas. zing has created an App, zingapp, where you will find the latest interviews along with daily recommendations for NY, LA, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Berlin, and London. If you're in search of a gallery, check out the gallery lists complete with contact information and maps. You can also browse city guides and an artist directory. Additionally, zing released its first digital edition in 2010, on the occasion of its 15th anniversary. This version of issue #22 is available for iPad, Mac, and PC via Zinio.com. It features the same format and content as the print edition, including projects by Raymond Pettibon, Elizabeth Peyton, Alex Katz, Fred Tomaselli, Lisa Kereszi, Enoc Perez, Misaki Kawai, Amanda Ross-Ho & Kirsten Stoltmann, Terence Koh, and many more.

One of her latest publications is ‘208 Non-Existing Countries and Areas’. This publication contains the right half image of 208 national flags, juxtaposed front and back, and bound into a book. The sequence of the original flags in the book goes from perfectly symmetrical to asymmetrical. When one flips towards the end of the book, one realizes the rules of the book (of only using the right half image of both sides of a flag), hence, the book showcases 208 flags of 208 non-existing countries.

The project is driven by its location, dedicated to developing critical art in the natural interstice the platform and incidental footfall of over 4,000 passengers a day provides. This is achieved by rush-hour opening times that attract commuters, and an open door policy maintained 6 days a week. The railways witnessed Britains transformation from agriculture to an industrial economy, as the increased efficiency demanded by the rapid developments in trade and labour during this period thoroughly homogenised time. Publishing, distribution, dissemination; the sharing of ideas, filter bubbles that then isolate us from each other again, the speeds of data we receive warping our time and attention, speak of our now, very everyday, post-industrial time. 'Un-publishing' (Julian Assange) accounts for the condition whereby online data is particularly susceptible to tampering, in that it is exceptionally easy to delete. No trace is evident of it ever having been there. You would have had to know it was there in the first place. Contrary to what we may suspect, traditional print media has a potentially longer shelf life, through the wide distribution of material: paper, that resists the censorious reach of corporations and authorities, (increasingly colluding), whether commercially or politically motivated. Un-Publish works are determined by these ideas of shifting time and labour relations that come of the site, and focus on the co-evolution of humans and technology, that bear witness to epigenetics that may come of these new conditions of time. Banner Repeater The emphasis on multiple points of dissemination, via pamphlets and posters published from the site, and the other free material distributed, via the inter-connected transport networks that serve to distribute these works throughout the city and further afield, and the siting of the archive of artists’ publications as a public library; a resource to be utilised by both local community and visitors, in a working station environment, remain key. www.un-publish.org www.bannerrepeater.org Un-Publish is a series of critical works published on paper, disseminated from Banner Repeater, a reading room dedicated to artists publications, and project space,... http://www.eshelf.info/U http://www.eshelf.info/following/eshelf.info/U Sat, 12 May 2012 02:24:22 +0000 eShelf 3342830 UbuWeb is a completely independent resource dedicated to all strains of the avant-garde, ethnopoetics, and outsider arts, founded in 1996 by poet Kenneth Goldsmith.
