Hi, Jack! Publishing
Description
Hi, Jack! Publishing is a publishing platform based in the Netherlands, founded in 2025, consisting of five artists from Amsterdam and The Hague: Bernice Nauta, G.C. Heemskerk, Kim David Bots, Shani Leseman, and David Kloosterboer. Within Hi, Jack!, methods such as bootlegging, hijacking, sampling, copying, restaging, and retelling are employed to create eclectic publications in small print runs. Ideas for publication projects arise from the diverse interests of the members. The publications consist of clippings, museum flyers, street finds, glitter, printed photos, stickers, scanned fabrics, scholarly texts, drawings, and stamps. They are not conclusions, but objects for reflection: tools to unravel, question, and reconfigure topics. The goal is not clarity or definitive statements, but to establish visual and textual connections that did not yet exist outside the context of the publication, thereby enabling new perspectives for both creators and readers in diverse contexts and situations.

We see urban markets as vibrant places where diverse cultures gather, becoming hubs for social interaction, community building, and cultural exchange. The street market is often based on small family or cooperative stalls and the forming of social solidarity between the stall owners. Part of the de Appel Kiosk’s endeavor is to reflect on practices of exchange and barter in market economies.
