#8: Familiensilber| Family Silver

Spring Magazin #8

by The Spring Collective, Almuth Ertl, Katharina Gschwendtner

Nicht alles, was man erbt, möchte man haben. Das trifft auf das wertvolle aber angelaufene Silberbesteck der Großmutter genau so zu wie auf die Veranlagung zu Übergewicht oder Müssiggang. Jede Familie hat unendlich viele Geschichten zu erzählen; zwölf davon sind in diesem Band versammelt. | You don't want everything you inherit. This applies to the valuable but tarnished silver cutlery of the grandmother as well as the predisposition to being overweight or idle. Every family has an infinite number of stories to tell; twelve of them are gathered in this volume.

About the author

SPRING magazine was founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 2004 by the same-named collective of women artists. Every year since then, the group has published a new monothematic issue of the anthology, which is an unusual combination of comics, illustration and free drawing, realised using a wide variety of visual narrative techniques.
SPRING is independent and non-commercial. Since its beginning, the group has consisted only of women and has become a solid and important network for women artists in Germany. A total of more than 40 artists from Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, New York and other cities around the world, have already demonstrated their abilities on various themes in SPRING magazine.
SPRING is represented at the book fairs in Frankfurt and Leipzig, as well as comic festivals in Erlangen, Angoulême, Linz and New York. In 2010, SPRING was awarded the Special Jury Prize for a Significant Comic Publication at the ICOM Independent Comic Prize. In 2016 spring was invited to india by Goethe institut, to develop issue #13 together with indian artists.
