Artist zine reprinted in facsimile. Beverly Buchanan is best known for her later work, her sculptures of shacks, her architectural fragmentations. But she always kept a practice deeply producing various forms of printed matter. Personal notebooks, journals, scrapbooks, artist statements, clippings, photographic materials, illustrations, business cards and various zines, all were integral in her multi-layered oeuvre and are essential in understanding how she navigated between the various elements of impermanence, control, and the monumental. They also show how she used wit and fragility as a method or even a force of emotion.

Produced on the occasion Vaginal Davis’s exhibition at Gropius Bau, Berlin, in 2025.

The artist Vaginal Davis certainly moves on dangerous ground with her transgressive shuffling of gender and genre boundaries. The self-described “sexual repulsive” co-founded several art/punk bands in her expansive 40-year-plus career, namely Afro Sisters, ¡Cholita!, Pedro, Muriel & Esther (PME), black fag and Tenderloin. As a writer and “Whoracle et Delphi”, Ms. Davis turns her quirky hairy eyeball to the collective practice of making music in the saucy underground scenes of Los Angeles and Berlin.
