Ov/Est Underground n5-(Self-Released-Fanzine-Italy-1999)

Number 5 of this incredible interesting fanzine, I have already posted the number 2 and number 6.

It was conceived to mix poetries and mail art, visual art and graphic works from the eastern and the western sides of the world. Publishing poetries translated into Russian/English and Italian, a very remarkable effort.

Also in this issue some great art-works, lots of poetries in various languages and some mail art. 

Enjoy it.

MicroCellulazione(Graphix-Poster-Italy-1988)

Microcellulazione  was a collective of @punx active on the end of the 80s in Naples(Southern Italy).

AMANO-Revista De Accion Estetica n5-(Magazine-Spain-1997)

Amano was a magazine printed and distributed by Industrias Mikerpo in Madrid(Spain) during the 90s.

There are lots of internet pages about this "anti art network" and they have their own blog,go here to read their archive 1994-1999,their blog is very well done and give  us  lots of infos about their activities and ideas yet about this zine there is only the cover sleeve.This is the number 5 of Amano,one of their publication and it has very interesting articles and contacts + includes Sign Zine,which was a visual art  zine dedicated to a different  artist on each number,on this one you`ll find art-works by Ego Abulico+reviews of fanzines,the art strike,Luther Blisset,Luis Navarro,Stewart Home,Vittore Baroni.

I am afraid all the webpages about it are in Spanish language and this zine too.

I posted the number 4 of this nice magazine,here that post.Enjoy it.

FRANZ - Il Morbo Di Franz - (Trash-c10-Italy-1989)

I already wrote on this blog about Vittore Baroni when I posted the tape trax 0185.
This is another project created and diffused by this multi-media artist.It was a series of short tapes dedicated to the culture of  Trash,on this one the leader of the garage beat band I Vigliacchi takes the name of  Franz singing low-fi b movies style songs about surf culture and myths.
The artwork is by the great Italian graphic artist Professor Bad trip,his real name was Gianluca Lerici and this is his FB page.
No idea how many copies of this tape were printed,I guess it`s not available any longer.Here few more info that I have found on discogs 
"Trash was a single comic book page written by Vittore Baroni and illustrated by Prof. Bad Trip (Gianluca Lerici), on the theme of B Music (meaning that as aural equivalent of B Movies). It was hosted from April to Dec 89 on music magazine Rockerilla, and from February 1991 on Urlo magazine. On June 89, the page announced the birth of a "ghost label", Trash, dedicated to "B-Music", whose first issue was "Il Morbo Di Franz" cassette, that could be ordered by sending 3000 lire cash (1.55 euro) to Baroni's E.O.N. archive. The page also included an open call to contribute to issue 2, named "Batmaniacs on the Loose", whereas the Dec 89 page included a call to contribute to issue 3, on the subject of trashy Film and Tv themes. That was the last tape, eventually released on summer 1990, "Soundtrekking For Mutants".
