The eighth volume of the Latvian Benji Knewman comes in a new format of nine booklets wrapped in a soft 140 * 200 mm cover. Themed “art is hard”, this issue contains an email correspondence between Benji Knewman founder Agnese Kleina, author Oleg Sivun, and Esthere Kajema entitled “Post-Soviet Man. A Year of Understanding.” Also included:
- “A French Mirror”, a piece critically observing an exhibition at the Musée D’Orsay in Paris called “Savage souls: Symbolism in the art of the Baltic states”, insomuch as “symbolism” is considered the “least satisfactory of the -isms”.
- Turbo: the chronicles of a teenager’s memoirs growing up in the USSR, told around the then hard to get item of luxury: the chewing gum.
