Synopsis

Excitingly engaged with the complex world of visual communication, the second issue of this UK-based journal includes pieces on the sound-film work of Daphne Oram and Geoffrey Jones; monuments to Kazimir Malevich, Rosa Luxemburg, and Walter Benjamin; the relocation of a defunct bookshop from Amsterdam to Epsom; and ''Agatha Christie smoking Asger Jorn s cigar.'' Picking up where BFTK 1 left off, this new issue pulls together amputated visual elements, short-form writing, distant sounds from the Lesser Antilles, and ''autobio-anecdotes [sic].'' Bound with signature-wrap prints bookending each eight-page section, the issue comes in a screen-printed PVC dust jacket complete with an inserted index and afterword. Still ''tentative, incomplete and inconsistent,'' still ''in flux and liable to crack,'' BFTK presents ''freed ... and fragmented archival material-''reordered, recontextualized, and reclassified.'' Contributors include Ryan Gerald Nelson, James Bulley, Mark Simmonds, Rose Gridneff and the Scandinavian Institute for Computational Vandalism.
