“Local Liar is the third issue created with a guest curator, this time in collaboration with the Dutch artist initiative FOULPLAY/SOMETIMESBAKERY, with curator Caz Egelie.
Local Liar (Lokale leugenaar) – a title taken from the name local newspapers have gotten in the vernacular. During a deep dive into a museum archive for a 2020 exhibition on local histories, Caz was introduced to the phenomenon of “Local Liar” for the first time - a local newspaper that spread local news. Fables, neighbourhood myths, news facts, and ads tumble over each other, all trying to convince the reader of their truth. For Wobby #39, the artists were invited to reflect on this theme, resulting in a collection of "local lies" that together transcend the local.”
A risograph-printed Dutch thematic magazine for illustration, comics and literature, this issue is co-curated by FOULPLAY/SOMETIMESBAKERY, with curator Caz Egelie and features contributions by Alix Aubert-Pérocheau, Ana Margarida Matos, Andrea Lukic, A.H.J. Dautzenberg, Boris de Leijer, Brieke Drost, Halla Einarsdóttir, Janek Koza, Josie Perry, Daphne Simons, Līga Spunde, Līva Kandevica, Nina van de Ven, Pieter Chanterie, Salim Bayri, Zebadiah Keneally, Jesse Strikwerda (cover image), and Tommy Smits (centrefold).
