Nandu News Reporter Xie Xiangnan On January 7, in the space with 24 sets, the "fake magazine" (Shenzhen) was officially completed, and this small yanxuan bookstore hopes to interact more deeply with readers in the Pearl River Delta in the long-term practice of Shenzhen and promote everyone's understanding of art books. Here, there is no shortage of albums by artists such as Moriyama Avenue, Masao Ishikawa, jonas Meccas, etc., and photography enthusiasts can see the more southern book selection preferences of "fake magazines", and even stumble upon works that have been sold out online between casual wanderings.
On the afternoon of January 7, in the 24th Yiwen Space located next to Shennan Avenue, the warm and warm winter sunshine of Shenzhen was projected through the huge boxed windows. The flat rectangular glass windows seem to freeze the images of the city: mountains, seas, towers of the Garden Expo Park, splendid China Gate near the Spring Festival, and shennan avenue with endless streams... It is a match for the selected secretaries on the "Fake Magazine (Shenzhen)" exhibition in a corner. This cultural institution focusing on contemporary photography has always been active in the Yangtze River Delta region, but has a large number of supporters across the country. The image is wordless, but it is all-encompassing, no words are needed, and those who understand it naturally understand. This tacit understanding also links the founder of the youji brand, Liu Suo, and the founder of the "fake magazine". Liu Suo loves photography, and in a chance acquaintance many years ago, he became acquainted with Yan You. Liu Suo's pure love and passion for the cause of literature and art eventually prompted the institution, which had been engaged in art publishing for 10 years, to agree to go out of the Yangtze River Delta for the first time and land in Shenzhen.
Speaking of how the "fake magazine" is willing to start the artistic practice in this city with youji 24 yu as an institution that "airborne", it is the urban characteristics of Shenzhen that deeply attract him. In Shenzhen, there is a large number of active designers and photography enthusiasts, which is a very worthy group to connect. At the same time, Yan Yu keenly found that Shenzhen's urban art has also developed rapidly in just a few years, and various literary and artistic activities, groups, exhibitions, and expositions are developing at a vigorous pace. The Shenzhen government is supporting the take-off of the cultural industry with unprecedented strength. At the same time, as a young, dedicated space for literature and art, 24 Yi has obviously always accepted all the beauty with an open embrace. Thus, the "Fake Magazine" (Shenzhen) officially and truly mutually with the city in the first week of 2022.
The event also invited Feng Junhua, the initiator of copy production, Peter Cat, the curator of Guangzhou Bookstore, Amy, the editor-in-chief of Water Elephant BWJ, and Chen Yifei, the editor of Thorn Paper, to discuss what independent publishing can do. What paper means to the public as a content carrier and how it connects us to our readers. Several publishers have also brought a wealth of unique recommended books.
The reporter learned that this year coincides with the tenth anniversary of the fake magazine publishing plan, and this space also brings the art books published by "fake magazines" in this decade, most of which are currently out of print. The exhibition will run until January 22, and interested citizens and readers can go to the exhibition to read books.
