Hüseyin Serbes – Presentation //  Post-Photocopy: Rethinking the Fanzine in the Age of Digital Production

17:30-18:00 

HSERBES-pdf

Fanzines were born before the electronic revolution. However, it did not take long for the connections made with ink and paper to overflow onto keyboards and screens. The path from letters to editors and readers to discussion forums or from pen to keyboard resulted in the evolution of the fanzine into the webzine. In this presentation, researchers reflecting on fanzines discuss a challenging PhD thesis journey. The talk will discuss a field study on fanzines and zinesters in Türkiye, and will include ethnographic notes from in-depth interviews with thirty zinesters, thus attempting to put fanzines back on the operating table in the age of digital

production.

Zine Reading & Talk: “DEAREST TRAUDE, BELOVED KIKI“ with Isabella Sedlak & Evi Pribyl

18:15 -18:45 

Evi pribyl

In their very first zine graphic designer Evi Pribyl and theater maker Isabella Sedlak embark in a search of clues about the life of the unknown Teddy. A collection of nine love postcards from 1941/42 in which he writes to his two big loves Kiki and Traude in Vienna was the impetus of an entertaining, deep and honest investigation from a feminist perspective. In their reading they present a few dialogues with the absent character, which creates an exciting oscillation between the past and the present.

A zine is an independently published collection of materials, a self-created and self-reproduced publication. In the workshop we receive a short introduction to the past and present of fanzines and self-publishing. Under the guidance of Deniz Beser, we will learn the basics of creating a zine, such as preparing a page layout, and will be privy to a number of folding tricks. After the step-by-step demo and introduction, you can create your own zine.

Writing Workshop: Editionen von Kunsthalle Below + AG Minimales Reisen → Parallelprotokolle:partizipative Erforschung + Archivierung des Alltäglichen

18:30 – 19:30 

writing workshop

In each mobile writing workshop, we create a parallel record, a text in which a place is described collectively. 2-5 participants from various contexts document the surrounding events and what comes to mind for 20 minutes. This results in multi-voiced texts, numbered chronologically. In practice, this means: Each parallel record is a performative writing workshop and at the same time a studio for the real-time production of contemporary history. The texts are published in editions sorted by theme.

Book Presentation & Reading: Black Grotesque poems follow the morning star and are ultimately minimally illuminated. Poetry and Reading: Bernd Remsing 

17:45 – 18:30 

Bernd Remsing

The new Palmström is refreshingly different from what one usually knows and expects from contemporary poetry. In addition to wit and rhyme, there is a third aspect of extraordinariness: the narrative element. It is true, many contemporary poems can be subsumed under the collective term “narrative”, but in Bernd Remsing’s work, storytelling takes on entirely different forms, as his poems feature proper characters who then also come into conflict with a narrator figure, interrupted by interjections from the esteemed readership, etc., which one might know from novels, but hardly from poems.

The illustrations by Michael Oskar Wlaschitz always respond to the poems and pick up on details from them, such as the blank payment slip at the beginning, a portable radio, the chainsaw with the clothes dryer Eugen (which also adorn the cover), or the poor plastic bag that got stuck towards the end.
