SALFORD ZINE LIBRARY NOW FILMING!!!
I am out an about this and next week with the help of Luca Rudlin and his camera expertise interviewing for the Salford Zine Library film. If you live in the north west, self publish/make zines and want to participate then please get in contact. If you live further afield then you can still participate by sending a short talking head video of your self explaining why you choose to self publish and what you self publish.
Videos have been coming in from across the world and I thank all those who have contributed so far. One consideration when making the videos is sound.Your voice needs to come across clearly as possible and not too low in the mix or obscured by back ground noise. Picture is second to sound and if you have a mic then it's worth pluging it in to your computer and using it rather than an inbuilt mic. Camera wise anything will do from a webcam to an SLR. What you have to say is the most important part of this project.
Once again thank you for your help without it there would be no project.

Laura Braun, 2011
Digitally printed concertina book, hand finished in handmade, screen printed box, 11x9 cm, limited edition of 100, signed and numbered.
Many photographs have been taken on road trips, pictures of the towns and landscapes passed through without the pretence of a deeper analysis of them; images that tell not so much of the places visited as of the experience of being on the road. ’Trip’ is a collection of impressions of a journey, taken on Polaroid.
Knots
Edited by Melissa Castro Duarte and Laura Braun, 2004
Offset printed, A4 pamphlet / A1 poster, perforated
KNOTS was as a platform for the work of artists based around the world. A chain project, - pieces of thread joined by knots – the images are linked to each other by association, each one a trigger for the next, for a memory perhaps or an idea.
The first artist produced a work inspired by a found image. His work then travelled to the next artist to be in turn used as a point of departure for his work. This process was then repeated over and over.

Mandi Goodier: Call for appropriations.
Mandi Goodier is looking for people to participate in her latest project.
This is a call for appropriations.
How to participate....
I am inviting you to take ownership of the text. To write/mark upon the sheet of paper as you might do with a theoretical or academic writing. Creating a sort of map of your approach to the text. Interrogate it, change it, edit it, define it, critique it, re-write it, empathise with it... do whatever you like as long as you act upon the page. APPROPRIATE IT.
The result will be a rewriting of the original text in order to make it more complete through collective understanding/interpretations, or more flawed text as meaning may have all together deteriorated. The rewritten text will be generated by you, the reader who through reading, understanding and marking the sheet will become a part of the collective author.
The collated responses and rewritten text will then be reproduced in the form of a publication.
To participate simply download the attachment, print, digest the contents, appropriate the text and then return it to me via email/post (preferably post)
Please forward this email/photocopied version of the text (+ instructions) to anyone else who may be interested in participating.
(If emailing please cc usergeneration@gmail.com to help keep track of the project, I will not hound you with emails I promise)
Email: usergeneration@gmail.com for the text.
