The second edition does not have a central theme either, but we would like to suggest possible avenues for exploration. This does not mean you cannot engage in pathways of your own choosing – our suggestions are only there as a guide. Our final selection of images will be governed by the way they work together – the dialogue they have with each other. We would like to explore together pure, distilled, visual narrative – that is, storytelling with imagery, without the use of a running written commentary. This is the only real condition of the brief. The idea is to create a narrative journey that is in a constant state of flux, joining together the viewpoints of different observers. You can submit single images or a series of images that exist in symbiosis. The stories do not have to be too structured, and they certainly do not have to have a beginning and end, but they should be open and stimulating to the imagination – both for the storyteller and the ‘reader’. Our suggestions for themes are as follows: life, mineral and natural; the dimensions hidden in everyday reality; silence; the journey; the microscopic and the infinite. All of the above suggestions can be interpreted as freely as you think appropriate. The deadline for receiving images is Sunday the 21st of July 2013. The final selection of images will take place over the summer months, with a view to publishing the magazine sometime in October 2013. All images should be black and white and be in either of the following dimensions: 190 mm x 260 mm (portrait) 380 mm x 260 mm (landscape (a double-page spread)) Images, or series of images, should be no longer than six pages. Please send compressed files to: petitneant@gmail.com Please feel free to ask further questions through the same email address. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Le premier numéro n’était pas thématique. Nous ne voulions rien imposer à l’imagination. Le deuxième numéro n'a pas de thème central. Mais nous voudrions suggérer des chemins à explorer. Vous pouvez, bien entendu, en explorer d'autres, notre choix sera guidé par la cohérence qu'auront les  dessins dans leur ensemble, par le dialogue qu'ils établiront entre eux.  Nous voudrions explorer la narration par l’image, sans texte. C'est la seule vraie condition. Nous vous invitons donc à expérimenter la force et l'ambigüité des images et la narration qui naît quand elles se "rencontrent". L'idée est de créer un flux narratif continu qui soit un "voyage" différent pour chaque lecteur. Vous pouvez envoyer des dessins ou de courtes histoires qui ne devront être ni trop structurées, ni nécessairement avoir un début et une fin. L’idée est qu'elles fonctionnent comme des stimuli pour l'imagination, et qu'elles permettent au lecteur (ou au spectateur) de créer sa propre narration.  Quelques suggestions thématiques (à prendre avec toute la liberté possible) : la vie minérale et la vie naturelle, les dimensions cachées dans la réalité quotidienne, le silence, le voyage, le microscopique et l’infini.  La date limite pour l’envoi des dessins est le dimanche 21 juillet. La sélection se fera pendant l’été et la publication sortira en octobre 2013 (date à confirmer) Envoyez nous des fichiers Jpeg légers en noir et blanc au format portrait (190mm x 260mm) ou paysage (380mm x 260mm) Les narrations par images seront de 6 pages (3 recto verso) maximum. Pour envoyer vos dessins ou pour toute information : petitneant@gmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Il primo numero non aveva tema. Non volevamo imporre nulla alla fantasia. Il secondo numero non ha un tema centrale. Quello che diamo sono dei suggerimenti, delle strade da esplorare. Ma potete esplorarne altre se volete; non sarà quello a guidare la nostra scelta. La nostra scelta sarà guidata dal senso e dalla coerenza che i lavori avranno assieme, dal dialogo che stabiliranno fra loro. Ci piacerebbe esplorare insieme la narrazione per immagini senza testi. Questa è l’unica vera condizione. Vi invitiamo a sperimentare la forza e l’ambiguità delle immagini e la narrazione che ne deriva quando si incontrano. L’idea è creare un flusso narrativo continuo che percorra il libro e che sia un “viaggio” diverso per ogni lettore. Potete inviare sia disegni singoli che brevi storie. Le storie non dovranno essere troppo strutturate, né avere per forza un inizio e una fine. Ma essere aperte, funzionare come “stimoli” visivi per la fantasia. Permettere quindi al lettore di creare la propria narrazione. I suggerimenti tematici sono: la vita minerale e quella naturale, le dimensioni nascoste nella realtà quotidiana, il silenzio, il viaggio, il microscopico e l’infinito. Sono spunti, questi, da prendere con tutta la libertà possibile. La dead line per ricevere i disegni è il 21 Luglio. La selezione verrà fatta durante l’estate e la rivista dovrebbe uscire a ottobre 2013. Mandate file leggeri in bianco e nero. Queste le dimensioni: 190 x 260 (formato ritratto) 380 x 260 (formato paesaggio) Disegni o brevi storie di 6 facciate al massimo Per mandare i disegni o per qualsiasi informazione: petitneant@gmail.com DOWNLOAD THE PDFS IN ENGLISH, FRENCH & ITALIAN DOWNLOAD THE PDFS IN ENGLISH, FRENCH & ITALIAN The first edition of Le Petit Néant did not have a theme – we did not want to... http://www.lepetitneant.com/buy-it http://www.lepetitneant.com/following/lepetitneant.com/buy-it Mon, 10 Dec 2012 06:20:26 +0000 Le Petit Néant 3965778 Buy online the first issue of Le Petit Néant!

Recensione di Francesco Boille Internazionale, 19-25 ottobre 2012 A Kaleidoscope on Paper A new publication is born. Unpredictable, unlike any other you've seen, not even the comics or illustration ones published in Europe. The editor and funder is Miguel Angel Valdivia, a young and talented artist. He's Italian but living in London. Even if Le Petit Néant is not a comic publication, some illustrations use their typical sequentiality, especially because illustration and comics authors are mixed. The continuous flow of drawings, single and full page, in sequence, turn this “little nothingness” into an abyss, a magma, of remarkable density. The 28 artists, from around the world (Europe is the most represented area) stand out for their ability, not only to express a strong idea in a single image (typical of illustration) but also to amplify this idea through the strong weaving of the stroke and the graphics (typical of comics). Unlike most contemporary illustration, satisfied by small concepts. Here we have visions. Those of the British Charlie Duck and Thomas Dowse, the Mexican Bayrol Jiménez or Gianluigi Toccafondo. Or the Belgian comic author Frédéric Coché and Giacomo Monti, Giacomo Nanni, Francesco Cattani and Brecht Vandenbroucke. You can also order this kaleidoscope through lepetitneant.com. <img src="http://payload98.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/4266877/Screen Shot 2012-10-19 at 1.29.25 AM.png" width="381" height="956" width_o="381" height_o="956" src_o="http://payload98.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/4266877/Screen Shot 2012-10-19 at 1.29.25 AM_o.png" data-mid="22610214" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload98.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/4266877/Internazionale-Low.jpg" width="286" height="389" width_o="286" height_o="389" src_o="http://payload98.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/4266877/Internazionale-Low_o.jpg" data-mid="22610458" border="0" align="left"/> Presentation of Le Petit Néant on Gli Asini n.14!

He has designed many posters for cultural institutions in Warsaw, Wroclaw, Opole and Lodz and collaborated with leading book publishers. He directed Dead Shadow, a short experimental film shown at international film festivals in Krakow and London (1981). On returning to the UK, he worked freelance for Faber & Faber, Penguin Books and The Guardian. He has been a recipient of many international prizes, including: The Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards for best film posters (Los Angeles 1977 and 1978), Campaign Silver Award for RSC theatre poster (1987), The Daily Telegraph Award for Excellence in press campaign for British Telecom (1988), DA&D Silver Award for a Royal Mail Millennium stamp (London 1999), V&A illustration Award for the graphic novel Horace Dorlan (2nd prize 2008), 12th International Biennale of Theatre Posters (Honorary mention, Rzeszow, Poland 2009). Andrzej Klimowski’s works are in public collections including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, National Museums in Warsaw and Poznan, Library of Congress in Washington D.C. He has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad (retrospective exhibitions in Villa Bottini in Lucca, Italy (2000), The National Theatre in London (2001–2), The National Museum of Photography, Film and TV in Bradford (2003) and the Arsenal Gallery in Poznan, Poland (2006). Narrative student projects (The Visual Editor) are informed by his own experimental work and recent lectures and workshops have been delivered in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Oxford, London, Moscow and Brno (Czech Republic), as part of literary festivals and graphic design biennales. ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/Miniatura Bayrol_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/Miniatura Bayrol_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18531115" border="0" align="left"/> Bayrol Jimenez Born 1984, Oaxaca, Mexico Lives and works in Oaxaca ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura cyopekaf_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura cyopekaf_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18531368" border="0" align="left"/> Cyop e Kaf Lonely but straight these two wanted artists (though more wanted by the police than by art collectors) follow their mission to spread abnormal, irritating even scary signs. With their desperate try to awake the overdosed mind of the Italian people – feeded with powdered milk and a dull TV programme, the works of cyop&kaf reach the remotest middle-class districts or really poor outlying districts, but also art galleries and most reactionary minds. They reveal themselves as a drop in the movement of our prevailing standardized uniform thoughts. In their point of view the listing of single or collective exhibitions of some artists -especially in recent times- is only a means to improve their income. Cyop&kaf however regard that it is quite poor to put everything on a reduced list documenting past times. That’s why they invite their audience to an open-air exhibition which is indeed open on 365 days a year admission free for everyone – this exhibition is permanently under construction between the city centre of Naples and the immense periphery just in order to say: ”Open your heart – but especially your eyes!” ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura paloma_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura paloma_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18533341" border="0" align="left"/> Kottie Paloma Kottie is an american artist.

On sent chez l’auteur une prédilection pour les vieux magazines de la ménagère réinterprétés dans un univers ou l’angoisse le partage à l’absurde. Son travail actuel tourne autour du rêve et des sensations, des climats qui en découlent. Il crée des lieux et des situations à partir d’images extraites ici et là de leur contextes originaux. Les souvenirs communs qu’induisent ces images recyclées entrent ici en collision proposant d’autres interprétations enfouies inconsciemment dans l’esprit du spectateur. ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura G.Monti_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura G.Monti_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18540752" border="0" align="left"/>Giacomo Monti Born in Cesena in 1975.

Sailing between humor, irony, and the creases of tributes, Alejandro García seems to be part of this idol worship generation of North American culture and the incoherences of our times. Passionate believer of decaying, depressive icons: rockstars, all those that plunged into drugs and killed themselves over love or something that looked very much like it, science fiction characters, who hid humansides full of mystery, porn stars, that if they used to be perceived like mere sexual objects, now get to become beings of cult and admiration… We create terrifying, extreme icons, trying to arouse in all of us a feeling of being alive. We are faithful followers of every being of darkness, because they help us, through their own forms of expression, to say to the world how our generation feels… Alejandro manages to get us disconcerted, he makes us question ourselves if his work is a constant criticism, or a show of respect, At the same time, he makes us see how everything is the same thing, how we all are equal, how death promises much more than life… Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura Firenze Lai_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura Firenze Lai_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18541074" border="0" align="left"/>Firenze Lai ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniature Schwartz_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniature Schwartz_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18541138" border="0" align="left"/>Barthélémy Schwartz ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura fuchs_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura fuchs_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18541419" border="0" align="left"/> Burnbjoern BBjoern, is an American actor and semi-retired professional wrestler, with a wave of wins in heavy-weight WWE championships.

Jusqu'en 2009, sous couvert d'exploration de différents aspects de la société russe (contes, icônes, banditisme), il a avant tout interrogé sa filiation à ce pays. Ses travaux actuels, via la réappropriation de documents divers de l'après-guerre, traitent en contrepoint de la réalisation de soi dans une société protéiforme. Né en 1978, Gabriel Leger est diplômé des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Il a participé à des expositions en France (Paris, Marseille), en Belgique (Bruxelles), en Russie (Winzavod, Moscou) et au Royaume-Uni (Cardiff); il a été sélectionné à des résidences artistiques au Brésil (FAAP, São Paulo) et en France (Fondation Jerome Hill, Cassis). - For several years, Gabriel Leger’s work has developed around the practice of drawing, its difficulties and its possibilities, through the use of various media (charcoal, carbon paper, graphite, on paper, fabric, prints, maps). Until 2009, under the guise of exploring various aspects of Russian society (tales, icons, banditry), he explored his own personal connection to the country. His current work, via the re-appropriation of various documents dating from the post-war period, serves as a counterpoint to the idea of self-realization in a protean society. Born in 1978, Gabriel Leger is a graduate of the Ecole nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He has participated in exhibitions in France (Paris, Marseilles), Belgium (Brussels), Russia (Winzavod, Moscow), and United Kingdom (Cardiff). He has been awarded grants for residencies in Brazil (FAAP, São Paulo) and in France (Jerome Hill Foundation, Cassis). ____________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura sam3_o.jpg" width="354" height="354" width_o="354" height_o="354" src_o="http://payload64.cargocollective.com/1/7/248855/3580897/miniatura sam3_o_o.jpg" data-mid="18542207" border="0" align="left"/>Sam 3 Sam 3 is an artist that paints big (and we mean big) as well as small shadows and silhouettes in his urban surroundings.

The art market is a global one, leading galleries have branches and affiliations throughout the world where their celebrity artists show regularly, positioning themselves on the ladder of success. Much of their work is self-referential and self-reverential. Art is about art. Parallel to this world lives the silent army of graphic artists who weave their pictorial narratives from their imagination. The content is rich in observation, psychology and the study of the human condition. Drawing is their common medium; it provides the fastest route to the mind, allowing artists to directly tap into the imagination inhabited by visions and dreams. These are often witty, absurd and surreal. They focus intensely on a scene or a drama. The artworks are both visual and literary. But where can we see the work of these draughtsmen and women? Unlike the gallery scene, their outlets are less defined. Some of them make their presence known in graphic novels, others through printmaking. A few may be lucky to find a gallery. Le Petit Néant offers us an insight into this rich world. Its editor, Miguel Angel Valdivia and designer, Giulia Garbin, have managed to group together the unusual visions of international artists that the reader may not know, but once seen, their images will not fail to intrigue.
