It's April 1st! We're launching Iphgenia Baal's Black Skulls at Good Press tonight from 6.30 - free and unticketed!
Join us for the publication launch of Iphgenia Baal's Black Skulls, which makes up Season 1 of Glitches, a new series of hybrid publications at SPAM Press. You can now order online here!
A giant book that can be torn apart as posters, reassembled, reinvented and remixed. Written straight into inDesign, in this mash up text-visual playground, IB approaches all the BS, reaching out towards the ABCs that might have been. Start ripping!
Iphgenia will be joined by support readings from two Glasgow based artists and writers: Rosie Roberts and Isaac Harris.
iphgenia baal is a writer. she was born in london but now lives in scotland with her new family. she is the author of several books, the first being the hardy tree and the most recent being man hating psycho. she is a enthusiastic producer of print ephemera and collaborative work. she is currently working on a series of books for children, with artist fanny wickstrom.
Rosie Roberts is an artist, writer and editor. Her practice focuses on making space for divergent thinking and conversation. Collaboration is central to the work she produces, starting with a shared question that is then explored more deeply through talking, moving, research.
Recent projects—focusing on editing as mutual aid, the image of the factory roof in anti-colonial direct action documentation and collaborative sound works—engage with ideas of accessibility, resistance, humour and the power of information. This multiform practice renders a kind of patchwork of experiences and artworks documented in the form most relevant to the context.Rosie uses various tools such as: hanging out, collage, Bernadette Mayer's writing experiments; free association; experimental film techniques; sound recording, choreography, feminist archives and with the imaginary tactics of feminist science/speculative fiction. Often asking what it means to make artwork—given a state of poly crises—with integrity and feeling that moves beyond nihilism or cynicism.

That giant book/poster concept is wild lol. I can see why they’d want to launch something like this with live readings. @tag 2
The mix of writing and design sounds really fun.

This piece provides a fresh and compelling take on the subject. I appreciate the depth of research and clarity in your writing. pips game
What a unique book launch! I was incredibly impressed with the idea of "breaking down" the Black Skulls book into poster pieces to reassemble and creatively repurpose them. This interactive, playful, and experimental experience immediately reminded me of the captivating, lively, and fun experience of managing and arranging stalls in the monkey mart game. Wishing Iphgenia Baal and the artists a resounding success at their Good Press launch tonight!
