The first issue of Bulletin B presents contributions by multimedia artist Kwon Heesoo, an essay by Zhou Ruixin, archival material from Halla Pai Huhm, and poems by Lee Hyemi, translated by Lee Joan.

Bulletin B is a bilingual editorial project gathering artistic and cultural productions from Korea and its diasporas, with a focus on queer and womxn voices. Borrowing the spirit of an unofficial newsletter, it surfaces when it needs to; assembling poetry, prose, and cultural fragments across time. 

Rooted in translation as a practice attentive to power, history, and silenced voices, Bulletin B reconstructs fragmented lineages and constellations of reference through irregular acts of dissemination and exchange, tracing how narratives move between languages, contexts, and material forms.

A fragmented reflection on movement, absence, and the unraveling of identity within the shifting landscapes of departure and return. Tarren Johnson explores the tension between private longing and public expression, where moments of love and vulnerability emerge in transient encounters.

Tarren Johnson grew up in North County San Diego, where she began dancing and writing as a child. She continued her studies at CalArts in Los Angeles before moving to Europe, where she built a decade-long career in the performing arts. Her debut book of poetry, We Don’t Live Here Anymore, also serves as the foundation for the stage work of the same title.

Following Giselle’s Books’ invitation of Inventory to its Marseille space for an exhibition in August 2021, we wanted to convey some of the junctures of our interest in their methodology through these conversations with two of its founders, Paul Claydon and Adam Scrivener. Their eminently important work is also crucial to understanding the ramifications of a discipline that shies away from uniformity and preconceptions. Through our questions, we have attempted to capture the central inquiries that they engage with as much in their eponymous journal as in their more recent works, such as the exhibition A Doctrine of Scattered Occasions. From loss to discovery, Giselle’s Books and Inventory follow the itinerary of singular journeys in the pages that follow.

Edition of 100. Each piece is unique.

Mario Melis lives and works in Paris. Their practice stems from a mixture of collected images, digital and analog drawings. This expanding archive spans various topics such as feminity, subcultures, and twisted shapes that they transform into tattoos, objects, paintings, clothes, and books. Mario is also publishing and will soon release the collected poems of Matthias Garcia, Anguilles.

Their bookmark is inspired by traditional bookmarks composed of materials from Mario’s archive, stickers, flowers, and original drawings.
