Book excerpt: After endlessly hearing that the Onomatopee publications had a tactility not often found in current art publications, director freek Lomme decided to create an exhibition and catalog addressing the issue of printing today. The result was the hugely successful, palm- sized book that was jam-packed with information and ideas on the subject. Quickly sold out this informative book is once again in print. Included are six contemporary artists and eight international academics and authors in the field of graphic design, materiality, theory, and art, exploring how, in the digital age, our daily interaction with physical materials is greatly altered and how this affects us as humans. Developed in the context of fine book publishing, the project includes in-depth discussions of past printing and reproduction processes, including silkscreen, etching, Risograph, linocut, lithography, and letterpress. Images are limited, but texts are diverse with small reproductions accompanying the art and artist interviews. It is a fresh and rigorous conversation about the process and the art of bookmaking in the twenty-first century.
