INCREDIBLY HOT SEX WITH HIDEOUS PEOPLE

The Book of the Zine

Bryce Galloway and Friends

With the greatest title ever – which has nothing to do with the book’s content – this is a greatest-hits collection from New Zealand artist/musician Bryce Galloway’s awesome, rough-edged fanzine. Over a decade of publishing, the zine served as Galloway’s personal graphic diary along with many of his very funny friends, chronicling his journey (and his horror thereof) from slacker, to adult art student, to father and homeowner. New Zealand’s progressive alternative music scene intersects in so many ways with the country’s contemporary art community. Resembling early blogs or the beginnings of Facebook, this engrossing book shows how the younger generation began to communicate in an underground, non-branded modality.

HASSAN KHAN

The Agreement: Five Stories

Five short stories in this new exhibition catalog by artist, writer, and musician Hassan Khan explore the margins at which a vernacular, be it linguistic or formal, attains its stature. Kahn engages the reader with very particular yet uncannily recognizable characters and occurrences. Published to accompany Kahn’s exhibition at Objectif Exhibitions in Antwerp, the stories are filtered through a specific cultural, aesthetic, and personal sensibility, accompanied by images of specifically produced sculptural objects, and based on the demotic style of popular kitsch ornaments. Through a series of narrative portraits and accompanying images of his recent sculptures, Khan’s seemingly ubiquitous tales are in fact an attempt to let a story tell itself.
