Constructivist Forum. Seven Issues Vols. 2, 4–9 (1985-90)

Constructivist Forum was edited by Nathan Cohen and Tim Johnson from 1984 to 1990. Small editions of a total of nine issues were assembled by hand from a residential address in Camberwell Grove, London. The editors aimed “to provide a non partisan platform for debate within international systematic and constructive art practice, embracing the related disciplines of the sciences, architecture, linguistics and music.”

Issue 2 and issues 4 to 8 have a plastic acetate cover bound with a plastic spine bar. Volume nine is staple bound with card wrappers. All are illustrated in black and white. Size 30 x 22cm (12 x 8.5 inches). Very good condition with only minor wear. Issue 2 includes a letter to Alistair Grieve signed by the editors.
