Compulsive Archive is an archive and long-term project based in Milan, Italy, aimed at rediscovering and enhancing the lesser-known punk publishing, produced between the 1990s and the 2000s. Hundreds of fanzines, records, fetishes, bulletins, letters on paper and early emails represent the heart of Compulsive Archive, which intends to keep itself alive through different activities and moments of confrontation: talks, publications, exhibitions, artistic residencies, readings.
Starting from the idea of archive as living matter, able not only to tell the past but also to make people reflect on the present, Compulsive Archive will host an informal meeting with artist Sergej Vutuc. In the setting of SPRINT25, founder Giulia Vallicelli will show and comment on some original fanzines along with contemporary ones.
ABOUT SERGEJ VUTUC: Born 1979 in Doboj, Yugoslavia - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sergej Vutuc’s growth reverberates the noise of some conflicted local history which uprooted him as far as Zagreb (Croatia) and Heilbronn (Germany) in his most formative years. Spontaneously driven towards D.I.Y. ethics and punk culture at large, he went on to explore, build and exchange around the world - skateboarding in particular being the key to many locks - prior to settling in Berlin, then Paris where his most recent enterprise consists in encouraging print and physical productions under the name A La Maison Printing.
