THE FIRST ISSUE OF KAYISI KENT A4 IS OUT!

Kayisi Kent A4 is a fanzine/zine-like-thing. Each issue will be made by a different artist and the fanzine will be copied and sold by mobile photocopiers in Istanbul. Apricot City A4 will attempt to survive on the street between February – December 2010. The first issue was prepared by Dilek Winchester. Subsequent issues will be made by artists including Evrim Kavcar, Nalan Yırtmaç, Delphine Rigaud, Stephan Kurr, Jorge Mendez Blake, Burak Bedenlier, Yasemin Özcan Kaya, Burak Delier and Antrepo.

A large number of these vendors are from Malatya; some of their vehicles are named Apricot Kent I, Apricot Kent II... Kayısı Kent A4 [Apricot City A4] derives its name from these inscriptions.

You may find Kayisi Kent A4 in Karaköy, Eminönü and Kadıköy, but then again you might not. Some of the vendors are stable, but most of them travel throughout the city.

In short, there is no address; merely a possibility.
