Two Heads

I’ve just been pointed to this new project by Wes White of the excellent and lavishly praised Attack!!! magazine. For Two Heads, Wes teams up with another person each month to produce characteristically visual, inventive writing. The first issue, with Benn Platts-Mills was inspired by the Roman god Janus and riffed on the process of electronic collaboration, leaving the whole process bare. The current issue, beautifully illustrated by Llyr Pierce is “inspired by bicycles and by the effects that people unknown to us can have on our lives”.

Take a look here to see the work and find out more about future issues.

Also worth checking out, while you’re there, is Attack!!! Wes’ semi-regular magazine of art, music and writing. Full of ideas and hyperactively inventive, it’s definitely worth getting to know. To give a taste of the breadth of content, one early issue took it’s direction from Thomas Nagel’s seminal Philosophy of mind paper “What is it Like to Be a Bat”, while subsequent issues have asking contributors to memorialise an event, or respond in any form to a particular piece of writing. Aside from the resltess curiosity, the main theme seems to be the fetishisation of words writing and printing, which has seen the mag take in woodcuts, Steve McCaffery-esque concrete and 80s Zine aesthetics.
