front cover
Axe was an important artists' magazine that was edited by the Belgian artist & publisher Guy Schraenen (1941-2018) and came out in 3 issues between 1975-1976. Axe published artists who were working in the field of sound & visual poetry, as well as the work of other conceptually based artists. The periodical contained writings, postcards, cut-outs, fold-outs and each issue included a 17cm record.
This leporello was published at the time of the first issue of Axe in 1975 and would appear to serve as an advertisement for this issue as it features the names of artists published inside. A photograph from the Parisian bookstore (Didier Lecointre et Dominique Drouet) that is handling the artists' estate includes a photograph of the 3 issues of Axe that also includes this leporello (see below).
10 single-sided pages, individually 3" x 3", and when unfolded 2ft 9"
