GL #01 is an independent, full-colored zine publication organized, edited, and published by Artists Caravan (AC), featuring 13 creatives, including artists, photographers, and illustrators. Our collaborators were invited to explore and curate the zine environment the way they would with a physical exhibition space. Genetic Landscape #01’s theme engaged our collaborators to explore and exchange ideas – to propose solutions to rethink, reinvent and recover the social and cultural aspects of land and bodies. We chose the zine as an environment for this initiative primarily for the roots and spirit that zines embody.

Synopsis:

The initial motivation to dwell on the topic of collective art-making by using Artists Caravan’s past projects as case studies derives from a narcissistic, pragmatic, and naive perspective to “know ourselves (Artists Caravan) better”. During our research and analysis, we raised such questions as how do we position ourselves as art practitioners such that we can effect significant contributions to the betterment of Arts and the wider community, physically and geographically? Additionally, with our working methods of nomadic, collective art-making in public spaces, there is a constant shift of roles, positions and concerns through the interaction with different communities and places. The development of these relationships is intertwined such that at the end of the day, we ask whose practice is it? Therefore, this paper explores Artists Caravan’s philosophy as an arts collective, employing Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of the body without organs (BwO) 1 as a means to explore our working paradigm of self, others, and place in everyday life.
