From the publisher: OOF ISSUE 9 is here and it bloody HATES football. David Shrigley hates football, he says so in one of his drawings. Maria Lassnig wasn't a fan. Émile-Samory Fofana has issues with it, Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy thinks it’s violent, A.S. Velasca reckon it’s lost all its emotion and Ithell Colquhoun didn’t much care for it either (Luke Burton quite likes it, though). Despite this shared contempt, each of the artists in issue nine has created a deep, passionate body of work with football at its beating heart. That’s what this issue is all about - how football can be used to reflect the maddening frustration and pressures of modern life. Like Shrigley says: football, I wish I could ignore it, but I cannot ignore it. --- 16 x 24 cm Paperback 82 pages 2022 English 9772516089008
