Left is Best! We ❤️ ‘The Detroit Printing Co-op: The Politics of the Joy of Printing,’ Danielle Aubert's enlightening new book on the DIY Motor City printing cooperative founded by Fredy Perlman in 1969. Originally active under the name Revolutionary Printing Co-operative, the endeavor was formed to provide typesetting and printing "without censorship or pressure," to provide "a means of subsistence for individuals who refuse to accept the bureaucratic organization of a capitalist enterprise," and "to make available a small stock of means of production to a restless population's growing needs for self-expression." Aubert quotes one of the group's founding statements: "The printing coop is not its own goal. Attempting to survive within the capitalist carcass, its activity is restricted by the laws of capitalist commodity production. But survival within capitalism is not its aim (nor is this activity an efficient way to survive within capitalism). *Its aim is to contribute to the junking of the capitalist carcass, and thus of itself as an activity which survived within it.*" Published by @inventorypress #thedetroitprintingcoop #freddyperlman #lorraineperlman #danielleaubert #graphicdesign #printing #independentpublishing @interferencearchive @colloquium_unpopular_culture #detroitprintingcoop #diyprinting @auberdada https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VcP5upvxA/?igshid=g2nc8c91bxfa

Marking the Dispossessed / Available at www.draw-down.com / In her third artist book, graphic artist and designer Danielle Aubert reproduces the underlines, marginalia and bookmarks gathered from the pages of more than one hundred copies of Ursula K. Leguin’s 1974 science fiction novel, The Dispossessed. Leguin's tale of a physicist from an anarchist planet where the concept of private ownership does not exist, who travels to a sister world where he encounters things he hasn’t experienced before—class difference, gender hierarchy and everyday signs of excess—is sometimes subtitled “An Ambiguous Utopia.” In Aubert's edition, all original text has been removed so that the marks left by past book owners become the content. Includes an index to notes and marginalia; an essay which contextualizes the project; an index of the most heavily marked passages; full-color photographs of the covers of the individual copies that form the basis for this edition; and a collection of photographed ephemera “left in books.” The author of Sixteen Months Worth of Drawings in Microsoft Exceland a co-author of Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies, Aubert is a member of the graphic design group Clanada, which has presented work at PS1/MoMA, NY; Printed Matter, Motto, Berlin; and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. #graphicdesign #typography #DanielleAubert
