Crass Goods is a two-part publication, a vibrating diversion, a mad passion and a way of not taking any important thing too seriously and taking some trivial matters much too seriously. There are many things we are obsessed with. In the first issue, we documented the renovation of a 48-year-old 4-story Taiwanese house (my late grandparents’ house).
The documentation consists of two parts, ‘Crass’ and ‘Goods’. The ‘Crass’ part is a long newspaper-like print of size 146mm x 500mm. It contains construction comics documented during the renovation. The ‘Goods’ part is a tiny book of size 65mm x 110mm. It is a catalog-like edition of over 100 household goods found in a 48-year-old, 4-story Taiwanese house.
The theme of the construction process was picked for the ‘Crass’ part of the first issue for its crude, unrefined, unprocessed nature.
