Art book, numbered edition of 45 copies 28 pages, 13.9 x 19.7cm

Hand bound with recycled cardboard and bookcloth, embossed logo on the back

Risoprint by drucken3000 in Berlin on uncoated paper, plus Japanese end paper

“A slow painful read” comes as a complement to our current exhibition at mi - so, “Affordance and Feedback Withdrawal” by Tim Tetzner, and shows a series of analogue / digital drawings, taking their origin in microscopic details extracted from the xeroxed cover artwork of Punk and Hardcore releases. Via collaging, redrawing and digitizing, the source material – mostly random fragments of counterculture folklore – leaves the realm of the physical drawing. And context, meaning, significance and attribution dissolve in a monochromatic abstraction of ruin-like beauty.

As a reference to D.I.Y publishing culture of the pre-digital era and paper aesthetic in general, Berlin visual artist Tim Tetzner pays tribute to the immersive drawing styles of Savage Pencil, Raymond Pettibon and Nick Blinko – but transfers their gestural outline into textural abstractions of zen-like formlessness, reminescent of Japanese Sumi-e drawing.

The book is printed with Risograph technique and comes hand bound in the typical Sonic Pieces style, using the same materials as on the record covers.

About — mi - so editions is an art book series that complements the record label Sonic Pieces. After working in the music industry for a decade and a half and running a physical store / gallery in Berlin since 2020, Monique Recknagel started the limited edition art book series in 2023. The publications usually relate to a music release or exhibition and often have a direct connection to music or are by artists who work both as musicians and in the visual arts. They feature photographs, collages, drawings, paintings or even graphic scores, and sometimes the visual elements are combined with small poems or quotes. The limited edition releases are handcrafted from locally sourced and recycled materials and printed in Berlin using the Risograph technique.
