Reading Sideways Press is thrilled to be working w Reading Sideways Press is thrilled to be working with designer-athlete Manolo Pierson to publish his book, <Run_A_Way>.
This book is a running book like no other. Manolo, as designer-athlete, sought to capture the experience of running in the design itself. Sometimes we move fast; sometimes we move slow. This happens too when reading through the book which can feel ‘heavy’ but also ‘light’. It is both poetic and theoretical.
Lindsey A Freeman, author of Running, writes in the introduction: “Today it is easy to think that our bodies could hide in plainsight as images of themselves or dissolve into data without nuance. Luckily, this book that you are holding in your hand will counter these horrible thoughts. What began as a thesis in search of a method to use high-intensity running to develop a new mode of discernment resulted in a text that gracefully escapes all the concessions to the genre of triumphant running books. Manolo Pierson shows us running doesn’t need to be about numb productivity, it can be a counter-rhythm, if you let it.
In his pursuit of resonance, through and with running, Pierson demonstrates how we can replace the stark experience of accelerationism (following the sociologist Harmut Rosa) with a more expansive feeling of being in time. This doesn’t mean we don’t still want to go fast. It means constant tracking and data dumps don’t keep us going. Even a time, our best time, isn’t enough for us for long. We are in pursuit to not simply be measured.”
<Run_A_Way> will be published in late-2025.
The price of the book will be approximately 30euros + shipping
.
<Run_A_Way> will be published as a strictly limited edition. To reserve your copy, please fill out this link:

Forensik Synthesis - Lintang Raditya . Metode pe Forensik Synthesis - Lintang Raditya 
. 
Metode penelitian yang dipakai Lintang untuk menulis buku “Forensik Synthesis: Catatan Awal Linimasa Synthesizer Indonesia  1973-1995” ini mengandalkan banyak kerja mendengar. Mengikuti  kerja mendengar yang dipakai sebagai landasan, karakter metode  penelitian menjadi intuitif. Daya intuisi yang bisa ditangkap dari  buku ini berasal dari pengalaman dan keterampilan mendengarkan  yang dimiliki oleh Lintang. Ia juga menunjukkan bahwa usaha  konseptualisasi di buku ini berbasis praktik. Lebih dari alat untuk  mendengar, telinga menjadi aktor tukang cerita. Bagi para intelektual  yang bekerja dalam lingkungan institusi pendidikan yang formal,  mungkin karya intelektual yang mengandalkan kerja mendengarkan  dianggap kurang teoretis, kurang ilmiah, atau kurang ketat. Bisa jadi  para intelek formal ini akan bertanya, “Apa metode penelitian yang  kamu pakai di buku ini? Teori-teori apa yang kamu gunakan untuk  mendukung argumentasimu?” 
Dalam konteks Lintang yang melakukan penelitian secara  independen, kesulitan muncul ketika beberapa figur kunci dalam  musik synthesizer terkesan tidak bersedia untuk ambil bagian  sebagai narasumber. Mungkin hal ini terjadi karena penelitian ini  dilakukan tidak atas nama institusi pendidikan tertentu. Tetapi  kesulitan ini ternyata menuju pada jalan-jalan alternatif untuk  menemukan figur-figur lain yang juga mampu membagikan cerita  dan pandangan seputar synthesizer dengan cara yang berbeda. 
Petunjuk kepada beragam pengetahuan dan informasi didapat  dari interaksi media sosial, wawancara, juga menyisir aneka koran,  majalah, aneka kaset, film, foto, dan juga video klip lama.

Save the date! Exhibition opening Underdeveloped by curators Reza Afisina and reinsert vane

Join us on Friday the 13th of September at 7 PM for the festive exhibition opening of Underdeveloped. Free entry!

Curators @afisina_reza and @ook_huis view an art-practice as one of building together instead of a focus on personal excellence. Through gatherings, re-modeling and collective working methods taking place live at @garagerotterdam from 14 September onwards, Afisina and Vanhoe aim to create a space where artists can connect their ideas and experiences with the input of visitors.

Their first exhibition at Garage Rotterdam, addresses social and cultural urgencies in Rotterdam, using the space of Garage Rotterdam and the online platform @lumbung.space as a digital living room and publishing tool for visitors to share both processes and outcomes with. Underdeveloped aims to build a connected chain of events, emphasizing community and development over definitions or conclusions.

Participating artists: @bellinaerby & @kyenting, @craterinvertido, Hassan Omar Ahmed, @deuitpluizers, @drawmama, ook_anders, @reading_sideways_press, @tomihilsee, Zoë Cochia, Vincent van Velzen.

Guided tour: No Filters Radio
. 
What is the meaning of signal leakage, sonic breakout, and escapes of knowledge? How do we interpret listening modes through plural, intertwined, reflected, intersticed, sustained and even amplified sound at certain locations? 
We would like to kindly invite you to participate in our guided tour, unfiltered Radio. The tour is imagined as a strategy in listening signs, navigation, and forces to a certain point through radio capture without filter or unlimited playback of signal reception. The unfiltered radio has been designed to scan various signals that might be ‘captured’ or ‘fleeted’ in certain locations. It animates other possibilities in accessibilities of knowledge. 
The guided tour will be divided into two sessions. First, the participants will be grouped and take roles of guides, operators and also harvesters. The tour will chart a sonic map that has been designated, in the surrounding area of exhibition venues. In the final session, the participants will be returning to the departure point and share their sonic experience, concluded through a jamming session as a collaborative event in recirculating their listening experience by reciting keywords while performing the radio instruments in the exhibition area.

Let’s become radio mechanics: On listening and circuit bending workshop 
. 
Workshop circuit bending intends to explore other ways of listening, accessing, and distributing the sound. During the workshop, the participants will learn how to critically bend the common means of listening, access, and distribution in a technological manner. 
Circuit bending implies a figurative meaning as an attempt to trace other sounds based on the existing sonic qualities on radio electronic architecture. It can be, indeed, imagined as an endeavour to chart other sonic paths under the rationale of hacking, experimenting, or outsmarting a fixed order. Moreover, ‘circuit bending’ to be grounded as a practice of examining, observing, and studying the structure of knowledge. 
The workshop will be divided into two main sessions. First, participants will be invited to dismantle radio devices and take some time to examine electronics traces through certain technical approaches. These approaches do not require previous electronics knowledge. The workshop will be equipped with various approaches in creating sounds. In the final session, participants are expected to share their circuit bending experience followed by a jamming session: demonstrating their bending constructions with other participants. 
Number of participants: 6 persons

Workshop: Book Bending
.
The workshop is dedicated to those who want to explore the complex dimensions of access and politics of knowledge. The workshop will be divided into two sessions. In the first session, using the morality discourse around copyright and piracy as a starting point, the participants will be invited to engage in a conversation around piracy, illegality, and illicit but licit. The discussion will be directed to reflect on the meanings of the wealth of knowledge (or the illusion of wealth), rare, difficult reading materials. In the second session, the participants will be invited to think about how to access a certain knowledge material differently. The participants are asked to think about what materials (essays, short stories, lyrics of certain songs, etc) that they want to learn. Some parts of the second session will be allocated to think and read about the impossibilities and possibilities of writing and giving spaces for other voices. The second session focuses on the employment of various tactile strategies to obtain knowledge: copying, translating, rewriting, scanning. The session will conclude with manually drawing out specific cover for the books that the participants want and wish to write.
Number of participants: 10 persons

Reading Sideways Press sees independent publishing as a means to nurture new thinking in contemporary art and culture. Our exhibition aims to show publishing as a tactic to articulate new voices, reclaim autonomy within a restrictive academic environment, and develop trans-local friendship and camaraderie. We showcase various art and cultural projects which convey critical thought and messages in ways that some academic structures cannot. We use it as a point of productive reflection to reimagine publishing differently, and by extension to exercise our utopian thinking.

 We form an alternative domain to take back a sense of identity, justice, and the rights to theorise, which have been marginalised by the gatekeeping mechanism of the art and academic world through writing, reading, making research, drawing, listening, workshopping, organising a collective lapak (pop-up shop), book bending, circuit bending and jamming.

 We collaborate with various groups of thinkers, activists, artists, community organisers, within the local Surabaya ecosystem. Our exhibition space will serve as a kind of unfiltered radio, or a night market, hosting diverse storytellers, voices and worlds. As we are sharing stories and listening to each other, our exhibition seeks to make these fleeting moments last for a long time.

Further details of exhibition programme will be updated soon

Berita Gunung Berapi: Politik Kebumian pada Zaman Berita Gunung Berapi: Politik Kebumian pada Zaman Vulkanik

In 1952, the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia published the Berita Gunung Berapi (Volcano News) amidst a condition of near civil war. Indonesia’s first president and revolutionary hero, Soekarno, was struggling to hold the fledgling Republic together. Factions of guerrilla armies and separatist movements were taking up arms to establish their own mini-states. Parts of west Java had been declared independent. The little magazine about volcanoes, which included a unique blend of poetry and profiles of scientists along with gas measurements and reports of trembling grounds, was a surprising appearance in this scene. The editor, Georges de Neve, born in the colony and of Dutch parentage—and likely one of the first European scientists to take up Indonesian citizenship—claimed in the editorial that the Berita Gunung Berapi was a contribution to the nationalist cause. Volcano science, he argued, could unite the post-colony.

Here, we are republishing the Berita. But we make it our own. We make it speak to our own confused and tumultuous moment. Consider it the Berita re-considered. Berita Gunung Berapi, again. In the pages that follow we think about what it meant to publish the first Berita, and what it means to publish the Berita now. We situate volcanoes and science in broader conversations about the relationship between politics, the earth, and its interior. We think about unstable geologies, catastrophes and postcolonial futures. Our contributors are interested in how volcanoes are our ancestors, how they are social history materialized and what it means when they are exploited. We are fascinated by the intersections of spiritual and scientific geographies and how they made each other. And ultimately, we wonder what a “cheery” volcanic politics might look like.
