This extra issue of Fandangos is on the ‘World’s First T.V. Convention’.
A copy is in the collection of Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
‘Why a World’s T.V. Convention? This has been the most asked question of the week in business and diplomatic circles, especially after the convention’s unexpected developments during the past two days.
Neither ex-president Nixon, nor any of the Mad Enterprises Inc., Videoheads or Fanfangos officials expected these results from what was originally conceived as a profit making projectas well as attracting tourists to Amsterdam and giving Mr. Nixon front page exposure.’ p.6
‘The Sets
The first appearance of the rock and roll band ‘The Sets’ on the strike day at the convention, was their most successful gig in their two-and-a-half years of working together. The group is made up of four P.V.M. 200’s and is between punk and new wave. Their record released on the strike day reached the sales record of one million dollars in less than 24 hours. ‘The Sets’ presence was kept secret until the last moment, although they had been heard rehearsing on the third day of the convention during a coffee break. No explanation was offered. The group will be touring in Europe for the next 3 months and are expected to release their new L.P. in a few weeks.
While discussions, arguments, demonstrations, suicide and a kidnapping took place at the convention, a group that began smaal but eventually grew into one of the strongest groups of the event, was the one led by ‘thelight from India’, as 3820 was called by his disciples from the very first day. p.8
JEAN-MARIE FAHY, Just visiting, 2019
29,7 x 21 cm
offset, artist’s book, 166 pp.
edition 550
2 versions: one with original print on foil and one without foil / signed
published by the artist
The artist’s book “Just visiting” is about conversations Jean-Marie Fahy mainly had on Grindr and Tinder, and was made after various trips between Lebanon and Israel-Palestine. Also meetings with boys in museums, pubs and on terraces have been recorded or transcripted. The first page of the book leaves no doubt about the core of the conversations: ‘Fuck capitalism and straightism (and soberism)’.
«The Middle East. It’s the Middle for who ? The people of the East and for the people of the West? It’s a frustration. It’s always problematic. The three concepts are pro- blematic, so whatever you say, it’s wrong. So let’s just say nowhere’s land.»
Each year, the city of Geneva in Switzerland invite artists from Geneva to apply for one of the bursaries offered by the Berthoud, Lissignol-Chevalier and Galland Funds of the City of Geneva. Jean-Marie Fahy was chosen as winner of the Bourses de la Ville de Genève 2019 of Applied Arts and Coline Mir as winner in the Visual Arts.
One copy is still sealed and comes with a screen print on foil, the other one has been opened and is signed with felt pen ink.

JONATHAN MONK, Another copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay-1965, 2015
14.5 x 10.3 cm
offset, 12 parts
edition 40 + 10 AP
each set is signed with initials, numbered
condition: splendid, although several cards may have some light postal scuffing
published by More Publishers, Brussels, Belgium
inv.JMon 125-pr
This is a series of 12 postcards, after a copy of Richard Hamilton’s original hand colored postcard ‘Whitley Bay’. Each postcard is a reproduction of the previous card and was sent by mail monthly in 2015.
The first card shows a reproduction of the original hand coloured card by Hamilton, hence titled ‘A copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay, 1965’. To make a copy has been pushed by Jonathan Monk to an extreme by making copies of copies. Each following card (entitled ‘Another copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay 1965’) is reproduced from the previous one. Due to reproduction processes in printeries a printer’s boarder trimming of a 3 mm margin (bleed) each time was applied in order to get a clean cut of the print during each print run. By repeating this chopping process 12 times, each reproduction of the previous card has become more and more a closer close up.

CORINNE VIONNET, Souvenirs d’un glacier, 2019
22 x 33 cm
offset, cover and pages of thick cardboard, 12 pp.
Lumbeck binding
edition 200
published by RRose Editions, Paris, France
Over the years, Corinne Vionnet has collected postcards of the Rhône glacier, spanning almost of century of images. The pictures have all been shot from the same perspective, from an “ideal” spot that reveals the glacier in its archetypal form and the roads that takes visitors there – as is often the case with touristic attractions. It is a pattern of repetition and superposition that Corinne Vionnet explored for instance in her Photo Opportunities series.
