Debrutalising Brutalism



Debrutalising Brutalism
Mel Gale

Publishing Info:
Hereford, UK 2022
A5 saddle stitched 
12 pages laser printed in colour.

Description:
This zine is a series of illustrations that explores the idea of reinterpreting iconic brutalist buildings in a playful and light-hearted manner. The illustrations depict well-known structures such as the Unite d'habitation in Marseille and the Roihuvuori water tower in Helsinki as fairground rides, utilizing limited colours and a humorous tone to de-brutalise these architectural icons. This work serves as a commentary on the often divisive nature of brutalism, while also highlighting the potential for architectural forms to be reinterpreted in new and unexpected ways

Dead End Jobs

Helousie Banks; Mike Durell

Publishing Info:
Portsmouth, UK, 2012
20cm x 20cm zine, edition of 5
Screen printed in black and red.
Comes with a mini-version in and envelope with job survival kit. 

Description:
A collaborative zine that is elegant in appearance and beautifully produced. The large format is unusual and would probably sit fairly well in an artists’ book collection as well as a zine one. The dot monotone aesthetic is very eye-catching throughout and helps to unify all the different artistic styles, it even has patterned end papers. The little kit in brown envelope is fun addition and it’s great to see the group of artists have experimented with making a smaller cheaper version in addition to the large zine. Created as a group project for the Zines Unit, Illustration BA(HONS) Course at the University of Portsmouth 2012.
