book

     
This book is a collection of the monthly publications that we released between January and December 2009 in collaboration with Onafhankelijk Cultureel Centrum In It (OCCII) in Amsterdam.

During the year 2009 we had the opportunity to work with OCCII -- one of the oldest so-called “Vrijplaatsen” (independent self-organized squats) of Amsterdam and a venue for alternative and independent music. Together with the people involved with OCCII we set up an editorial board which gathered and produced content for a monthly publication with a twofold function: a documentation of current activities and a preview of the following month in the form of an agenda. Every month 1000 copies were produced of which 700 were distributed around the city of Amsterdam. The rest was saved in boxes at printshop ‘De Raddraaier’. After the December issue the saved newsletters were collected, bound together and cut down, forming the body of a book. A cover was printed and attached to the body. Now 300 copies of the book are ready for dispersion. You can order the book for the price of 15 euros (plus shipping costs: 2,20 euros to the Netherlands / 4,44 euros to Europe / 10,45 euros to all other countries). Read more about the project here.

This project has been made possible with the support of the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (Fonds BKVB).
