OPEN CALL [1]
Deadline expired
For a new zine series, Unformed Informed (Publishing) is opening up its mailbox for proposals by artists/authors who explore language as an instrument and construct. With the series we want to create a space for small scale experiments with texts and/or images. Not to publish a definitive, immutable object, but to make a suggestion. One that is open to improvement, revision, call-and-response, iteration, or even a full negation. The work needs to be developed within the set framework:
● Size: 10,5 x 29,7 cm (Multiple ways to achieve this size︎︎︎)
● Number of pages: 12 - 32
● Printing method: b/w photocopy
● Edition: 100
Artists with the selected proposals will receive a modest fee of € 250,- and 5 copies of their publication. Artists/authors retain rights to their work. Design, editing, printing, and production is covered by Unformed Informed (Publishing).
Send the following to hello@unformedinformed.com:
● Your proposal for the zine (max. 250 words) in which you describe the concept of the work you would like to publish. Note: you do not need to have a full body of work or manuscript completed before applying.
● A short bio and portfolio (pdf. max. 10 pages).
If you are selected, the preparation and production of your publication will take place in 2023. The specifics will be determined together with the artist.
Question?
