Lack-Lack
Lacquer is a type of varnish, a hard, shiny surface that is both adornment and protection. The German word, lack, is a homograph to the English lack - such as a lack of knowledge, or a lack of information.
Lack - the printed experiment of sic! Raum für Kunst - aims to question, to knock harder, do more than scratch the surface in a search of splinters, fissures and irregularities. Lack appears two to four times a year.
A different graphic designer is invited to design each issue.
Lack is published at Maniac Press.
