Description
『展銷場』的不定期連載刊物《『目錄』》，最初作為一款行銷工具，用於介紹由展銷場發行網及其合作的「後勤」慢遞網絡所支持與分銷的「半自治」出版物。《『目錄』》將自身定位為用於傳播與宣傳其它形式知識的媒介，經數期發行，逐漸發展為一本涵蓋郵購目錄、讀者文摘、綜合期刊等多種形式的刊物，附帶刊展其上商品及軟文頁面，內容與其流通方式混為一體。
《『目錄』》第五期進一步擴展了展銷場對商業殘餘物的喜愛，這些殘餘物又被稱為「資本主義的脊梁骨」，或被稱為「店鋪式的結構」。透過對藝術家團體及社區主導實踐的訪談，包括 『班諾格 Baan Noorg』（菩澤村）、瓦卡利塢（坎帕拉）、Biquini Wax（墨西哥城）、ruruShop（雅加達）與 Take-a-Way（鹿特丹），本期深入探討了將「交易」作為一種創意與社會經濟實踐所進行的各種實驗。此外，與「不當教育學校」（日惹）和「團結經濟共學小組」（國際）成員進行的兩場對話，則聚焦於在動盪與不安中，關於生存、喜悅與技能的相關議題。
Display Distribute’s sporadic serial 『CATALOGUE』 began as a marketing tool, introducing ‘semi-autonomous’ publications that are supported and distributed by the Display Distribute distro and its partnering LIGHT LOGISTICS network. Appropriating itself as a medium for other forms of knowledge dissemination and propagandising, 『CATALOGUE』 has developed over the course of several issues to encompass a mail-order catalogue, readers’ digest, and variety journal, all featured together alongside posted wares and advertorial material. Content is conflated with its means of circulation.
The fifth issue of 『CATALOGUE』 expands Display Distribute’s affinity for the detritus of commerce, otherwise known as the ‘backbones of capitalism’, also otherwise known as ‘shop-like structures’. Interviews with artist collectives and community-led practices including Baan Noorg (Nongpo Village), Wakaliwood (Kampala), Biquini Wax (Mexico City), ruruShop (Jakarta) and Take-a-Way (Rotterdam) expand upon various ways of experimenting with the transaction as a form of creative, socioeconomic practice. Two additional conversations amidst members of the School of Improper Education (Yogyakarta) and the Solidarity Economics Study Group (international) hone in on accessory questions of survival, joy, and skill amidst precarity and unrest.
