VOLUMES 2015 27- 28/11/2015 Kunstraum Walcheturm, Zürich

Leben statt Arbeit - Ekstase statt Disziplin - Umarmung statt Distanz.

Wir suchen aus der kollektiven Mitte ein Schreiben gegen die Einsamkeit der Vereinzelung in der Erwerbsarbeit. Dazu begeben wir uns aus der kalten Arbeitsknastzelle in das einladende Kabinett, das rettende Hospiz. Wir gliedern uns nicht in das politische Spektrum ein, sondern schaffen in unserer Praxis selbst einen Zwischenraum des Politischen. Wir wollen gegen ein lineares Verständnis von Rezeption eine Kartographie des kollektiven Begehrens und Wahnsinns erstellen. Wir finden den Rausch des Gemeinsamen in der Schreibbewegung, damit alles was darin Platz nimmt, das Entstehen neuer Ströme fördert. In dieser Praxis wird deutlich, was Schreiben eigentlich sein sollte: Leben statt Arbeit, Ekstase statt Disziplin, Umarmung statt Distanz.

This collection is a snapshot of the international self-publishing scene. Every year, zinesters and artists are invited to give one publication towards our yearly exhibition. The publication then joins our ongoing archive.

VOLUMES 2015 will feature a uniqe exhibition entitled «FOCVS ON ITALY», curated by this year's special guest BOLO PAPER, who will present a selection of current independent publications from the buzzing Italian scene.

Roland Roos was awarded The Manor Kunstpreis in 2014. For the exhibition, Roland was building up a factory like production center in which six people worked during the entire show duration. In this factory small kid books were created with the content of Roland’s work – they function therefore as his first publication. One of this publications was shown at VOLUMES 2015.

VOLUMES 2015 will feature a uniqe exhibition entitled «FOCVS ON ITALY», curated by this year's special guest BOLO PAPER, who will present a selection of current independent publications from the buzzing Italian scene.

Amongst the participants and visitors, one woman with a typewriter was documenting our Independent Publishing Fair in an unusual way.

Roland Roos was awarded The Manor Kunstpreis in 2014. For the exhibition, Roland was building up a factory like production center in which six people worked during the entire show duration. In this factory small kid books were created with the content of Roland’s work – they function therefore as his first publication. One of this publications was shown at VOLUMES 2015.
