CURRENT MATTER

Thrilled to announce that All Right Is the Death of Life by Christian Thomsen @fjorsk , published by CURRENT MATTER, will be officially released in London during @offprint_projects London 2026. This publication brings together everything surrounding the pre-phase of a painting — artist sketches, references, scans, and residue pressed flat — fragments from an ongoing novel tracing ambient threat, pleasure seeking, concealment, and the social performance of survival. More a marginalia of the nervous system than a catalogue, the publication unfolds as a collection of evidence shaped by contemporary life. Join us at @180.studios during Offprint opening hours to pick up a copy: Friday, 15 May — 3–9 PM Saturday, 16 May — 12–8 PM Sunday, 17 May — 11 AM–6 PM This is a limited release of 50 copies. Pre-orders will be available from Monday, 18 May at 11 AM. Keep your eyes open for a special Berlin release in the coming days.

The tour continues: come and find us at Offprint London! 🇬🇧 Excited to share what we’ve been working on, don’t be shy say hi! 📈

¡Madrid, eres hermosa! Thank you for having us, @librosmutantes ! We loved meeting all of you and sharing our work with you. We will defintely see you next year! 🤍

“I just wish things weren’t so messed up ‘n’ confusing” A speculative sequel to Gregg Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, reimagined through early AI. Fragmented, violent, hyper-emotional—this zine dives into a digital hallucination of queer alienation, suburban apocalypse, and teenage desire. Part script, part zine, part glitch-dream. Not a reboot. A haunted remix. A new kind of teen meltdown for a new kind of future. 🖤 First edition 2022. Some copies still available—DM or visit our shop. Special thanks @carlrethmann

GOSSIP AS A TOOL is a publication that explores the social mechanics and cultural significance of gossip within queer zine communities. It investigates how gossip operates not merely as idle talk, but as a vital tool for connection, resistance, and survival among marginalised groups who often exist outside mainstream networks of representation and communication. Available in our shop, link in bio! 🤍

We’re excited to share the first issue of Souvenirs of Love — a new zine featuring 25 contributors who explore different notions of love by revealing the unseen object biographies of their personal “souvenirs.” Each souvenir becomes a vessel of meaning, holding memories of friendship, romance, cherished moments, heartbreak, and loss. Shaped by the contributors’ diverse experiences, these objects reveal personal insights that open up broader reflections on social dynamics, politics, identity, and belonging. Together, they form tangible links to the invisible threads that tie us to love in all its forms. The idea for the zine began during a trip to Milan and grew from our small ritual of collecting mementos while traveling — simple objects that became records of shared moments and emotions. What started playfully turned into a reflection on how things hold memory and meaning, and from there, Souvenirs of Love naturally took shape as a space to explore love through objects. We’re so happy to finally hold this publication in our hands. It wouldn’t have been possible without these wonderful contributors — thank you so much for sharing your stories. 🩷 @lisaroeingbaer @noemi.biasetton @lad_boo @aniacatherine @alyunkka @lisa__cipriano @zipporaeld @agf_hydra @stargir1z @diegograndry @joeyholder__ @_shamjaff @metamimosis @katkorb @kitschy.couture @mnlo0o @terez.novak @voidsushi @pe.trapp @charlotte__rohde @lollfgang @hannah.siecksmeier @zoespurg @_____slimfit @whitegauna @tomvolkaert
