Hectographs, mimeographs, and offset printing not only allowed for the production of small, low cost print runs but also promote a unique aesthetic: using wild mock-ups, messianic amateurs combined typescript aesthetics, handwriting, scribbled drawings, assemblages of collaged visuals, porn photos, snapshots, and comic strips. The typography consciously frees itself, in parallel to a liberalization of linguistic and visual forms of expression in the name of a new sensibility. This book (which appears in conjunction with an exhibition at the Weserburg in Bremen) is the first to present the underground and self-published works that came out of West Germany in such depth, while also showing the international context in which they emerged: not as an anecdotal history but as an attempt to tap into the aesthetic cosmos of a Do-It-Yourself rebellion, one that also challenges us to take a new look at the current boom in independent publishing, the risograph aesthetic, and so on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donlon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58319487664502,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/7340\/files\/981.jpg?v=1784720588","url":"https:\/\/donlonbooks.com\/products\/under-the-radar-underground-zines-and-self-publications-1965-1976","provider":"Donlon Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
