SLIME/SMILE Smile magazine was created by Stewart Home in 1984,'Smile encourages everybody to
start their own Smile magazine. Smile wants every magazine to be called Smile.
Smile stands for total unoriginality. Smile wants to be able to go unto Rough Trade and
find thousands of different Smile magazines by thousands of different Monty Cantsins.'
Inspired by Stewart Home's exhortions SLIME/SMILE echoes the contents, themes and
graphic design of Smile expanding upon and wryly satirising the concepts espoused.
Poems, texts, statements, projects, activity pages, certificates.
This magazine compiles SLIME made by Mark Pawson and Erica Smith in 1984 and
two SMILEs produced by Mark in 1984/5, originally photocopied in tiny quantities and circulated through the post.

Secondhand maps chopped down to A4 and then put through B&W laser printers
repeatedly, adding multiple layers of symbols, diagrams, text, numbers etc.
harvested from various sources, sometimes in planned
sequences, sometimes
randomly. Each page has been printed 5-6 times, in an effort to replicate early
photocopier experiments and utilise almost-empty toner cartridges.
This book
will be produced continually in small batches, evolving as it goes, with more
images, more layering, more overprinting, every copy is different.
MAPPING, Mark Pawson, 2016-2022, 20 x 14cm, 36pgs, stapled, laser print on used maps, title added on Jam Jar label.
