Following the release of Bricolage Magazine #1 in November 2009, Tom Sachs presents the next limited edition zine in the series. The D.I.Y aesthetic of the magazine, photocopied and staple bound, is recognizable from the artist’s previous installation work and other print-based projects. Like much of Sachs’ work, the magazine takes its cue from various hallmarks of contemporary culture, re-tooling familiar imagery through bricolage to shift meaning and find a new sort of critical syntax.

Bricolage Magazine #2 –“STREET WOOD”—is built up from appropriated images and text that have been degraded, reproduced, cut up and roughly taped together. For Sachs, process is clearly integral to the final object, and here as elsewhere, his work retains the visible traces of its making, a record of the labor spent. Whether constructing an elaborate full-scale model of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, or hand-assembling magazines, the artist’s keen sense of materiality and assured craftsmanship is apparent. This special edition is printed in full color on card stock.
