A great Trapartisan Review review
A great text about Trapartisan Review by Mikko A.
You can find the book right here:
https://store.trapart.net/details/00179
“Carl Abrahamsson advocates insider art to remain in stream of beautiful flow and realm of direct, unprocessed signal. Meaning that works should be eclectic, disparate and mysterious: If there is a story in here somewhere, it will only be the one you find in your own mind. This would be in firm opposition of prevailing approach where contemporary art must often take a stand, and for currently right things. Also that we are somehow entitled to demand explanation, as opposed to try to find it in our own minds.”

Trapartisan Radio – Episode 3
Carl Abrahamsson talks to American surrealist Steven Cline about his new book “AMOK!”, collage-making, mail art, playing games with Atlanta’s surrealist group, sources of inspiration and much more…
On “AMOK!”: In this collection of recent texts, American surrealist artist Steven Cline has opened the floodgates to his inner worlds, demanding that we take a look. When we do, we are irrevocably drawn in further by a force that resembles our very own curiosity. Is this a mirror or a windowpane? Are these mesmerising thoughts and short essays catapulted from an overarching Zeitgeist or from a very talented writer who desires to express himself? Or both? No matter what, once you have begun reading, you are in it for a thrill ride. Steven Cline is a compelling author, weaving surreal and sensual spells until all resistance is futile… You might as well step right in!

Photographic memories of Russia!
In 2007, I travelled in Russia and took a lot of photos. Some are now in my new book FREE OF THE DARKNESS. Street life, people, architecture, nature, amusement parks, and much more…
https://store.trapart.net/details/00182
“In this book are 136 photographs from Russia, displaying subjective intersections of time and space in an environment as fascinating and enchanting as it can be depressing and dangerous. Never a dull moment for those who dare roam the Russian spaces with an open mind and camera in hand… Street scenes, architecture, people, nature… all the facets of daily life flash by as we travel through a country as vast as it is mysterious; as emotionally honest and glamorous as it seems eternally hesitant to shake off the yoke of totalitarianism. Whether you look at Russia as a haunting spectre unable to leave its violent past behind or as a nation of immense creative potential, Carl Abrahamsson’s photographs provide you with personal, private and revealing glimpses of Russian life.”
“What we are attracted to and what we fear (sometimes they are one and the same), we must absolutely explore. When I was offered a Russian photo exhibition and a mini-tour for my musical project Cotton Ferox in 2007, I was overjoyed. For almost two weeks, I travelled to Moscow, St Petersburg and Yaroslavl. The work presented did not feel half as interesting to me as what I experienced and documented myself there and then. Russia is an insanely fascinating and brutally emotional culture, proudly flaunting both victories and defeats as if they were the same – essentially, a photographer’s and observer’s paradise.” – Carl Abrahamsson, from the introduction
