mat.zine #05 call for submissions
The theme which will frame the artistic, philosophical and poetical exploits for this next edition of mat.zine is a single word; views. The original group involved in mat.zine has now disbanded and ventured to different regions of our shrinking terra firma, as indeed has the greater cohort of DSA 2010 graduates. Most have before us new cities and towns, landscapes and vistas, or at least new awareness of the places we already know most intimately (ed. Dundee perhaps?).
The choice of media, method and motives are yours to each decide. Photography, writing and drawing are the obvious ones. All the editor asks is that you respond in some way to the word; seriously, profoundly, even ironically. Contribute as little or as much as you like-each person has at least one side of an a6; more if a greater ambition is pressing.
The submission deadline for this edition is the 1st September.
Content may be emailed to the editor or uploaded to the google docs folder-ask and I will invite!
The call for submissions is extended to anybody who might be interested. Architectural adventurers and intellectual pugilists alike, all are welcome under the infinite umbrella of mat.zine!

Ok my friends. So we have finished with all of that masters malarkey. Lets keep this zine ticking along nonetheless, and keep our collaborative efforts in sincere motion. In fact, lets welcome contributions from beyond the former material master’s group.
Therefore; a proposal is herein put to you each and all, princes, paupers, pencil-pushers and pedagogues;
- Each edition is built around a theme, as before.
- The theme is selected and the call for submissions announced by the editor, which alternates for each edition.
- All content is welcome; drawings, photographs, writing, and is uploaded to an online folder within three weeks of the initial call for submissions.
- The editor then formats the content as they desire. (Perhaps keeing to the A6 size, as before)
- The zine is then published one month from announcement of the theme, on this site, as an article and a formatted pdf which we can each print and enjoy.
- Alternatively, and in retro-printing fashion, the editor could print a number of copies which are posted, employing snail mail, to our addresses all over this earth!
To get the proverbial sphere rolling I will act as the editor for this next edition. To this effect I will post a call for submissions in the coming days. So watch this space, and subscribe promptly to keep updated.
Anyone interested in contributing to or editing an edition of mat.zine do let me know. I will then provide you with appropriate permissions for the google docs folder and this blog. And any suggestions with regard to amending the guidelines; do not hesitate to post them below.
Big ideas, small magazines…here here, here here!
