Unfortunately, I didn't know Bob Grumman but, for those who did, please accept my sincere sympathy on his passing.,

I am very sorry to be the one to bring this sad news - but thought I should relay it - the great Bob Grumman has passed.

Bob Grumman is well known to those who have been involved in the network, vispo and zines - especially vispo. That extends to asemics as well. Bob is one of the great foundational theorists and reviewers of vispo. I have no doubt that as vispo continues to evolve, Bob will become equivalent to Aristotle. Bob was essential in creating and defining the current scene. He was also a fine writer and artist and a genuinely wonderful person.

Bob Grumman has many friends and fans, so I am sure much will be done to honor him and keep his work alive. In the meantime, RIP, Bob.

Is our IUOMA founder Ruud Janssen working in asemics? You decide. I received some very interesting language-centered work from him.

Christopher Skinner, thanks so much for sharing the info on the chapbook of asemic writing by Queaeau. That is major! I'm sure you'll find some interest in this group.

Dear friends,

We would like to announce the publication of a limited edition chapbook of the asemic writings by the French author Raymond Queneau (1903 – 1976). Queaneau founded the Ouvroir de littérature potentielle (OuLiPo) in 1960 and published many highly stylised and unconventional works, some of which have been adapted for film. He also published work in pictogram form, to which the work in this book is most closely related.

This chapbook is being published by Secret Books, a new collaboration between Tim Gaze (AUS) and Christopher Skinner (UK). The books will be digitally printed on quality paper and card stocks, and individually bound in a numbered edition of 100.

Measuring 143 x 108mm the chapbook is double covered with 12 printed pages, consisting of 9 enhanced reproductions by Queneau along with new artwork by Gaze and Skinner, both inspired by the Queneau pages, and an ink portrait of the artist as a young man.

'Raymond Queneau - Ecritures' will be available to purchase worldwide through Big Cartel at just £5.00 plus P&P.
You can see images of the chapbook in production at www.secretbookpublishing.wordpress.com

We hope that you can support our new collaborative venture by either purchasing a copy of this limited edition chapbook of visual material from one of France's most respected writers. Or even by spreading the word; forwarding this email or the attached PDF to others who you think may be interested, or by linking to our site from your blog, Tumblr or Twitter accounts. Please feel free to use any of the images from our site.

Kind regards,

Chris

Excuse the SSP (Shameless Self Promotion).

Thanks to liketelevisionsnow for being instrumental in making me the March featured artist in Redux International Arts Magazine. The work is mostly asemic vispo.
