Artimo is pleased to present:

One time glossy edition of Z-Magazine:
portraits of homeless Z-vendors in Amsterdam
by 30 photographers and writers

Tuesday June 25th at 5 pm a one time glossy edition of Z Magazine will be
presented at Pompoen Theatre, Spuistraat 2 in Amsterdam. This special
edition features the vendors of Z magazine, the newspaper for and distri-
buted by the homeless in Amsterdam.

Portraits of Z vendors have been made especially for this occasion by thirty
prominent photographers and writers. The result is a probing report of the
daily life of the homeless newspaper vendors in Amsterdam. The special
edition, published in separate Dutch and English editions, will be accompa-
nied by an exhibition. From June 25 till July 9 a selection of the portraits will
be on display in the various shop windows in the Spuistraat in Amsterdam.
This exhibition will travel to London later this year.

The project - the glossy magazine, the exhibition and the publicity campaign
around the events - was initiated and produced by communications agency
Gummo from Amsterdam, and intends to generate publicity for Z Magazine.
The theme of the project is the 'pride' of the homeless Z vendors. They sell
their newspapers on the streets and have been confronted lately with
strongly decreasing sales figures. The project is meant to encourage them
and to promote the sales of their newspaper. This one time glossy edition is
available at bookshops and newsstands, and will also be sold by the Z
vendors themselves. It has 88 pages printed full colour and costs ¤ 7,50.
All sales will benefit Z Foundation.
