Champ, not camp!
If you are in London, or Paris, this saturday, you have the option to witness the launch of issue 04 of Ala Champfest magazine… I don’t, as I’ll most likely be feasting on pulpo in Vigo. When in Rome…
Anyway, Ala Chamfest is a labor of love from Joanna and Monique Kawecki, covering many grounds and speading the gospel of making stuff. This new issue is once again stacking paper at 258 pages, and features pieces on subjects as varied as David Lachapelle or Aaron Bondaroff.
I was gladly asked to be in there, also, to discuss Le Cercle, and photography in general, which turned into a little portfolio and, even better, a chance to grace one of the covers created for this issue. Yes, for the first time, Ala Champfest will give you the choice of two covers, and the other one is done by Phil Frost, nonetheless! Can’t get much more exciting!
I still remember Phil doing backside smith slappys late at night in front of Alleged Gallery, on my very first trip to NYC. Yep, I’m old.
So, yeah, this saturday evening, Colette will be hosting the launch in Paris (213 RUE SAINT-HONORÉ 75001 PARIS), and the Idea Books Space will do so in London (Dover Street Market). Stop by, and check out the issue, if you’re around!
The photo is actually a portrait of Jason Dill in his old China Town appartment, shot a couple years ago. When I mentionned doing a little story on people, where they live and how they make a place theirs, Dill candidly showed me around, empty fridge, drawers full of polaroids and all.
What about Winnie The Pooh, then? Well, you can read about it in issue 04 of Ala Champfest!
