(AXE is a multimedia magazine edited by Guy Schraenen between 1975 and 1976. It features artists such as Henri Chopin, Jean Degottex, Mirtha Dermisache, Françoise Dufrêne, Brion Gysin, John Giorno, Sten Hanson, Bernard Heidsieck, Françoise Mairey, Paul van Ostajen and many more, most of them not known at that time. Their interventions focus mainly on sound poetry, visual poetry and verbal poetry, but also on conceptual works. It contains writings, posters, postcards, cut-outs, fold-outs etc., printed in offset, typography and silkscreen on various types of paper. Each issue includes a 17 cm record. The first 10 numbers contain also a Super 8 film. AXE serves thus as an exhibition space on its own. But once unfolded outside the covers, the inserts can easily fill an entire exhibition space.
All together, three issues have been published. Available are single issues as well as the complete set of three issues in a slipcase: 30 x 21 x 4,5 cm (each issue: 30 x 21 x 1 cm), 500 copies. Special edition: with numbered and signed works by each artist).

Exemplaire en très bon état (discrètes traces d’usure sur la couverture) / Copy in very good condition (minor signs of wear on the cover).
