Le Dernier Cri
Collective
French publisher specialising in rather disturbing serigraphs and comics with a very low print run. Based in Marseilles, Bolino and Sury run a silkscreening studio from which they’ve produced, through painstaking handmade effort, a decade’s worth of books, comics, monographs, print-medium objets d’art and their flagship magazine Hopital Brut.
“Our main aim is to help expose artists from the margins, whether they’re in contemporary art or comics.”
