HAPHAZART! Contemporary Abstracts I Issue 02 I November 2009



FREAKS, FOOLS AND PRANKSTERS

Welcome to the second issue of HAPHAZART! - a magazine for and by the Haphazart! Contemporary Abstracts group on flickr.


IN THIS ISSUE

HAPHAZART! 2 suggested to the editors the idea of Haphazart Squared, which in turn led us to explore the images of contributors who work in square format photographs. That process turned up formal symmetries set off against bright colors. The galleries you will see in Haphazart! 2 are the results of those explorations in form and color.

Twenty-one artists present their images and talk about the importance of colour in their work.

We invited three long term members of Haphazart! who each work in square format to talk about their backgrounds, their photographic experiences, and their ideas about photography, form, color, and purpose. Ashley Holmes, Leonie Polah, and Jane Underwood come from three different continents, with divergent backgrounds and training, and different approaches their environments in producing urban abstracts for Haphazart!

We hope you enjoy the second issue of Haphazart! and invite you to visit us on flickr: www.flickr.com/groups/haphazart/

Best regards,
The Editors

HAPHAZART! Contemporary Abstracts I Issue 01 I May 2009



FREAKS, FOOLS AND PRANKSTERS!

Welcome to our first edition of HAPHAZART! - a magazine for and by the Haphazart! Contemporary Abstracts group on Flickr.

Where do we go from here?



This question was raised by some members at the start of 2009 after a two year stream of activity. Why not turn our wheels and go on a ride' with little knowledge, but a lust for adventure?

Why not produce a magazine?

But how to realize such a beast, given an unpredictable workload, different time zones and our limited experience, plus time restraints - since we all had jobs in the real world?

What followed was a four month journey for four of us: hundreds of comments in hundreds of threads, endless discussions and serious quarrels, reconciliations and laughter, and finally, the magazine we are now bringing to you.

We like to thank all artists who contributed their work, without you this magazine would not exist.
