Now you can buy our first three issues of the Shake Your Tree Edition online. Our website is up and running.

www.syt-edition.net

Every issue focuses on one upcoming German writer and one visual artist who present new work, exclusively created for the Shake Your Tree Edition. Our zines are handcrafted and screenprinted limited editions, every single one of them signed by the artists. Edition 2 comes with four original photo prints by Tanja Kernweiss.

This is how we started:

Edition Nr.1 – Frank Höhne & Juliane Liebert
Edition Nr.2 – Tanja Kernweiss & Ulrike Almut Sandig
Edition Nr.3 – Manuel Bürger & Jörg Albrecht

...and others will follow!

Do you remember when we anounced a new series of Shake Your Tree mgazines? Since then lots of things have happened – meeting, drawing, cooking, meeting, eating, calculating, writing – all together with many motivated and inspiring people. And now, finally, we are screen printing. Whilst you are watching the World Cup we are standing in the SDW in Neukölln, day and night, always together with our screen printer Louise Drubigny. The new handmade zines look amazing. Put the release party date 31st July in your diary and listen out for rumors.

Sebastian and I will give a talk about Shake Your Tree tomorrow at the .HBC in Berlin.

For the production start of our new edition of fanzines we will talk about Shake Your Tree’s future project as well as what happened til now. We are invited to the The Permanent Bookshop Salon Event at the .HBC. This is the final event of a series of salon events initiated by The Permanent Bookshop, focusing on independent publishing production and distribution. Also Sven Eggers (1:1) and Kai von Rabenau (mono.kultur) will present their publications which are quite worth seeing. And of course it is completely free.
