About Hocus Bogus
Hocus Bogus is a publishing project initiated and run by Dennis Munoz Espadina, in 2015. Hocus Bogus was created to share artistic “B-side” material in the form of printed matter. Munoz’s own artistic practice would often incorporate print, connecting to performative interventions or larger projects. In its early years HBP dealt mostly with the distribution of zines and fringe artistic content. There was no proper printing equipment and we could only make sporadic use of wonky Xerox or stencil duplication machines. Still, friends and fellow artists would often ask us if we could publish their 16 page zine. By going to zine and art book fairs to sell and often trade publications, HBP started reaching an audience ,and making friends in this small art print world. Over the years this misfit network of fellow zinesters, small press printers and DIY publishers grew steadily, as did our catalog of publications.
About Chris Nelck
Chris Nelck (NL) grew up immersed in art, attending museums from a young age. He got admitted to the Willem de Kooning Academy at 15, initially studying photography before shifting to fine arts. His work is influenced by his Trans and Queer identity, which permeates his practice. Nelck has also studied at Kunsthøgskolen in Oslo and is known for integrating writing into his projects, often publishing texts alongside his artworks.
