“Its varied vistas include panoramic views of the ocean, the mountains, the valley, and the canyons. While from an aerial photograph it may appear relatively level to anyone who has not had the pleasure of being there, the modern buildout has generally taken advantage of its varying elevations. Hilly terraces have become residential communities. Storied cliffs still surround the anchorage where its history began.” *
Mejor Vista General: West of Del Prado explores the photographic power to embower the viewer in a displacing illusion - both in the realm of photography and bookmaking in general. The arch of the project is based on a stereoscopic view made by the artist which pictures a particular cove in Southern California. In order to create a seemingly comprehensive document of this pictured location, additional photographs were created from a myriad of angles, culled from a myriad of sources (from a myriad of time periods). The glut of resulting repetitious imagery at once extends the canvas of the original vantage point to the brink of immersion while dissolving it to the verge of absurdity.

Canadian born-NYC based artist Ryan Foerster's newest publication is a compilation of writings, newspaper clippings, diary entries, emails and other communicative detritus.
Concurrently morbid and melancholic, absurd and voyeuristic, naive and contemplative, the publication finds Foerster in a particularly vulnerable light, albeit one not immediately known.

EXISTERS is a 21-minute long mini-album of brand-new songs by Lucky Dragons, produced in cooperation with artist / designer Jesse Hlebo of Swill Children. EXISTERS resist without intervening, subsist without consuming. They are everything about living except life, showing the effects of attention on a thing over time. EXISTERS harkens to all things slow, delicate, and sharp--music for drifters, onlookers, and aliens of the everyday. Following on 2011's SHAPE TAPE, which reduced music to pure harmonics--no concern for beginning, end, or time passing--lucky dragons begin the process of re-inserting the organic textures, playfully intricate handmade rhythms and repetitions that characterized their earlier work, such as 2008's Dream Island Laughing Language or 2006's Widows. By largely replacing the acoustic instrumentation and field-recorded sources of those records with the crackling pulse of modular synthesizer and alien sharpness of spectral processing, EXISTERS is both the wall and the push against it, a direct impression, a tribute to the boundary and how the boundary can be crossed.Purchase Here

"FERAL" / "FREE" EP A new musical collaboration between Cory Thomas Hanson of W-H-I-T-E, and Jesse Hlebo of Swill Children. Their first EP, "Feral" / "Free", was written in the summer of 2011.The project began as a space of exchange between Hlebo and Hanson who began trading mix tapes in early 2011. The tracks that were sent were based on their use of phrasing, emotional space, texture, cadence and sonic quality. Following Hanson's move to New York, the project took shape as a free form collaboration with no discernible direction.
Utilizing unformed W-H-I-T-E songs as a starting point, the two slowly built a new body of songs in the sweltering heat of the summer. The resulting album is one that is heavily influenced by D'Angelo, Brian Eno, Hot 97, Thelonious Monk, tall cans, Salem, Alan Lomax, the 'cool' of night, loud fans, and Gregorian chant.
White Fold is a project presenting two visual artists' interpretation of these eclectic sources through self-conscious sounds.
The "Feral" / "Free" publication includes a unique download code for the EP. Limited to an edition of 50!

THIS IS NOT A RE-PRINT, IT'S A REMIX
Taraka Larsons The Now Age examines contemporary conceptions of time in the context of music and its relationship to symbology, particularly in the transference from metaphor to kitsch. Taraka’s tone variates between an academic analysis to a tongue in cheek nod to rigidly ideological manifestos.
Taraka, along with her sister Nimai, perform as Prince Rama, a group that very much subscribes to the key points of The Now Age

Note: _ Quarterly Issue 9: Administrative Comments from the Chicago Office was released on 10 / 20 / 11 at Printed Matter in NYC. This was prior to the violent eviction of Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan on November 15th.Following the eviction, the press, and resulting documentation and vocalization of the movement, became a substantial highlight that was not present during the production of this issue.
An investigation of three revolutionary-based groups united at their essence in a fight against governmental and societal oppression. The institutions in question are specifically targeted due to their treatment and relationship with minority and non-upperclass citizens in the United States of America.
Administrative Comments from the Chicago Office, contains content acquired from original communiques from, and FBI files on, both the Weather Underground and The Black Panther Party. Content is also derived from the Occupy Wall Street Twitter, blog, and newspaper, as well as the NYPD's Twitter and YouTube accounts of the mass arrests during Occupy Wall Streets first month of existence in Lower Manhattan. Administrative Comments from the Chicago Office is an edition whose historically based content is both changing as it is solidifying, while it concurrently interprets the perceivably solidified.
Each copy of _ Quarterly Issue 9 is unique through the use of different misprints in each publication.
_ Quarterly, a publication based on obsolescence, is created by Jesse Hlebo and Justin Sloane, in Brooklyn, NY.
