Nefarious Activities

«Issue # 2».

This number contain Interviews with:

Terror Cell Unit
Bacillus
Subklinik
- And a special feature with collage artwork by Paul Kerin of NYC label Fieldwork.

Nefarious Activities dives deep into the zeitgeist and mind of the enigmatic cultural terrorists — Terror Cell Unit — who with explicit insight discuss their unique reformative ideas and approach to contemporary urban militaristic music.
    Bacillus first public interview since 1993. The band map out its origin story, talks hands-on strategies re noise music-making before transcending to its engaged connection with biology, minute life and the pathogens that cause disease, pandemics - and god hope: Civilization collapse. A truly inspiring position and convoluted artist statement.  
    First Subklinik interview from this frontier moniker. Subklinik and Nefarious Activities charts a map of the band’s birth and artistic progression - and via the Marco Corbelli slash Slaughter Productions years - the exchange unveil an until now esoteric fresco that is Subklinik’s singular vision, legacy and way forward.

RESTOCK: Too Negative No. 5 May 1995.

Image censored for web purposes. Click link to stream the book in full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu3ykVSasqw



Too Negative, published by Tom Shobo 1994 - 2000, is a Japanese cult subculture photo magazine edited by legend publisher and gallery owner Kotaro Kobayashi.

The magazine’s format was an admixture of classic archival and curiosity magazine grafted with mondo, frontier contemporary art and fetishism - all wrapped in glossy vibrant fashion esthetics. Too Negative’s origin may be found in the concepts of ‘Eros’ and ‘Thanatos’ - a lineage it share with previous controversial prints such as: The Japanese 1920s erotic grotesque magazine Hentai Shiriou (Pervert Documents), Shibusawa Tasuhiko’s 1960s avant-garde journal Le Sang Et La Rose, to Fiction Inc’s Sale2 published from 1980 into the mid-’90s. But where Le Sang Et La Rose and Sale2 today may be described as subtle, clandestine or refined in intent; Too Negative was a visceral and visually explosive front that reflected the gory-depraved-beyond salvation-bad taste expressions visible in international subculture as well as the new evolving markets in contemporary art and home entertainment. Too Negative was solely curated by Kobayashi. The editoial consisted of themes such as: Medical/autopsy, grotesque and contemporary art, Japanese bondage - kinbaku, death journalism, erotica, war, crime scene photography, tattooing and the bizarro realm. Frequent collaborators and featured artist were: Trevor Brown, Kiyoshi Ikejiri, Kiyotaka Tsurisaki, Joel-Peter Witkin and Hiroshi Yokoi to site a few.

This issue features: ‘Crime museum’ by Chokudo Shibuya, photographer Kiyoshi Ikejiri, bizare humilation xxx, photographer Kiyotaka Tsurisaki death photograhy, artist Trevor Brown, medical and autopsy photography, artist Taga-Shin, piercing and body modifications, tattooing and much more.

Toshio Saeki

«Works».



Two copies available via WFR now - one with slipcase (left), one without - book only (right).

Stream browse video of the title in the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruAvOLdKEag&t=67s

Master artist Toshio Saeki (1945 - 2019) was born in South-east Japan, Miyazaki prefecture. At age four the family relocated to Osaka, where he graduated from college and started his illustration career in advertising. In 1969, Saeki moved to Tokyo with hopes of having his works published. Living and working in his studio, he continued to developed the now signature art fundamented on Japan’s wealthy traditions in ukiyo-e, shunga, ero-guro and folklore. Within the first year in the metropolis he self-published a 16 piece black & white print series «Collection of drawings by Toshio Saeki». Saeki also had one of his illustrations printed on the front cover of now cult journal series Black Magazine. After proposing his works to several publishing companies without luck, new talent magazine Heibon Punch published in 1970 a selection of his works. The art-feature was well received and brought attention from the public, media and culture personalities such as: Shûji Terayama, Maki Asakawa to Tatsuhiko Shibusawa of Le Sang Et La Rose. The sum of the experience enabled him to become a professional artist. His first artist book of identical title as the aforementioned self-publication was issued in 1970. The offer at hand - «Works» - was published in 1971, while the equal important artist monograph «Red Box» came in ’72. In addition to publishing several artist books and exhibiting internationally, Toshio Saeki was from 1970 a contributing illustrator for several counter-culture and adult magazines. Think: Erotica, Black Magazine, SM Select to S&M Sniper. Until he passed away in 2019 Toshio resided outside Tokyo in the mountains of Chiba prefecture.  

Toshio Saeki’s surgically precise drawings and prints showcase a distinct and unprecedented visual language. His late 1960s and early ’70s works often display monochrome and color representations with compositional shapes crossing over to abstractions. After settling in Tokyo, he quickly appropriated a color palette and artistic method that echoed Japan’s neon pop culture explosion and rich traditions in woodblock printmaking. In its core, Saeki’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in a multilevel suspension between Japan’s cultural and political heritage to the country’s rapid at-all-cost race into the contemporary as a leading economic and technological power. When we look at his coded dream-logic scenery, we see a collective subconscious that reminisce over its historical and psychological debris - in essence: The cycle of nature - life, death, conception - precise and elegant condensed into an ultimate distilled experience. Saeki always resisted the Western interpretation of his oeuvre as only being linked with concepts eros and erotica. These elements are certainly present, but the artist’s position is exceedingly complex and relates maybe more to Georges Bataille’s understanding of the subject matter as presented in his book «Erotism: Death and Sensuality» (1957). Writer and director Shūji Terayama formulated in 1969 his friend’s universe as a stab: «Toshio Saeki conjures death with a pen». In a later interview when discussing his work Toshio Saeki expressed: «Ero is the recipient of the life of the man. Through it, death is profiled. When I adapt myself to this ero, by making it the topic of my drawings, I feel neither constrained, nor hesitant».

Yukio Mishima



«Sun and Steel: Art, Action and Ritual Death» (1970).





Yukio Mishima was born in Tokyo January 14th 1925. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University’s School of Jurisprudence in 1947. His first published book, The Forest in Full Bloom, appeared in 1944, and he established himself as a major author with Confessions of a Mask (1949). From then until his death, he continued to publish novels, short stories, and plays each year such as «Temple of the Golden Pavilion» (1956). His crowning achievement, The Sea of Fertility tetralogy—which contains the novels Spring Snow (1969), Runaway Horses (1969), The Temple of Dawn (1970), and The Decay of the Angel (1971)—is considered one of the definitive works of twentieth-century Japanese fiction. In 1970, at the age of forty-five and the day after completing the last novel in the Fertility series, Mishima committed seppuku —a spectacular death that attracted worldwide attention — after a failed coup d'état November 25th 1970.



Offered here is the Japanese 1970 first edition - fourth printing - of «Sun and Steel: Art, Action and Ritual Death» - an autobiographical essay collection and memoir. The book recounts the Mishima’s experiences with, and reflections upon, his bodybuilding, martial arts training, the relationship with body and mind, and more. The book was first appeared in print in 1965 as a series of essays in literary magazine Criticism that ran over the course of three years.
