4 x 4 - Issue 3

With contributions by Matevž Lovšin, Weronika Wojda, Raphaël Massart, Mariana Escobar.

4/4 is a magazine based on a simple calculation: 4 contributors, 8 pages each. We arrived at this formula partly by instinct—because we cut the pie into 4 pieces (we didn’t think we could eat 8)—and partly because 2 is a company, 3 is a crowd, but 4 is a party. There’s also the vague memory of someone once saying that one of the last freedoms to defend is that 2+2=4.

Reproduced Images

by Jim Klok

In Reproduced Images, Jim Klok brings together a selection of works through the act of reproduction, using similar methods in which the works were originally made.
The act of reproducing documentation of (temporarily existing) work serves as a way to reactivate and recontextualize this work, resulting in a multilayered publication merging images and drawings.

Monograph for K.Budrys

by Augustinas Milkus

Monograph for K. Budrys presents a body of illustrations by Kęstas Budrys, a little-documented artist whose work appeared in Naglis, the first Lithuanian gay magazine, published from 1993 to 1997. Budrys’ drawings range from photorealistic, dot-based renderings of homoerotic imagery to irreverent cartoon figures and comic strips, moving between eroticism, awkwardness, humour, and sentiment.
