  zingmagazine
    zingmagazine came out of the idea that within certain disciplines, artistic and otherwise, various cross-references occur, both with individuals and the material of their particular interest. Rather than remaining isolated and apart, either through an unaware and uninformed (or aware and informed) malaise, there is a need to commingle arenas. By establishing a forum of collaborative exchange, zingmagazine examines points of both similar and dissimilar articulations. Like sets and subsets in a mathematical diagram, having similar and opposite properties, parts of the exchange will share epiphanies while others will securely diverge. But in the examination of these current issues, born out of the curatorial collaborative spirit, zingmagazine reaches for the crossing point, and it is from this “crossing”—where fiction meets poetry for lunch, theorists mingle with artists over which they are, and while we all assume new boundaries with an excess of technology in the modern world—that we find our inspiration. Likewise, it is from this crossing that the title is honed.

  a collection in progress | RELATING TO JAMES JOYCE
    A collection of books and objects, relating to James Joyce, which, broadly speaking, ranges from books whose text and illustrations are in dialogue, to objets d'art which take the book as an object as a starting point.

All books / objects are unique, specially made by the artist for this collection. As a bibliophile I wanted to start a new collection, and with my interest in Joyce I had the idea to assemble livres d'artiste with reference to his work and started to commission artists close to five years ago.
