New beginnings: proun press

#1

Hello!

Omar Akrouche and I are starting a label called “Proun Press”

Here is a statement about the label:

“Proun press is founded upon the idea of creative construction of form through economic construction of transformed material. Proun is a movement along the stations of creative concreteness but not comprehension or the explanation of life. The path of proun press is pure experienced action.” (excerpts from el lissitzky’s proun manifesto)

”Headlands" by Gianni Andreatta will be available for pre-order on the Proun Press bandcamp tomorrow. The official release will be on 3/1. We will be sharing the album’s first track, “Garfield” alongside a hand-processed super 8 film by Nolan Barry.

More to come! If you use instagram, here is where you can find us there!
