[Untitled line-drawing] periodical,
No. 4, the Netherlands, 2011 (Compiled by Magda Lagerwerf)
The supplied documentation is a small horizontal assembling publication whose surviving cover gives no title but whose participant page is headed “No 4.” The issue contains individually numbered contributions; the participant list identifies pages 46–60 and records 15 participants from Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Estonia, the United States, Greece, Finland, Switzerland and Canada.
The back cover bears the imprint MAGD.FACTOR, Weenderstraat 23, 9551 TJ Sellingen, the Netherlands, while the participant page carries Lale Limited Editions with the same address. Independent sources confirm the relationship between these imprints and Magda Lagerwerf: a contemporary artist profile describes Lagerwerf as associated with “MAGd.factor & Lale Limited Editions” and as a printer, bookmaker, mail artist and publisher based in Sellingen. The Dutch register of private presses likewise lists “Lagerwerf Magd.factor [ook: Lale Limited Editions]”, Sellingen, under Magda Lagerwerf-van Willigen, beginning in 2000. A University of Iowa record independently documents a 2003 Mail Art Box by Magda Lagerwerf published in Sellingen by Lale Limited Editions. These sources substantiate the imprint attribution, although the supplied No. 4 itself does not explicitly label Lagerwerf as “editor” or “organizer.”
The exact publication date is not printed on the supplied pages. Individual contributions bear dates in 2011—including 10 January 2011, 26 February 2011, and a 2011 date on another contribution—but these are evidence for the dating of individual works, not automatically for the publication date of the assembling. Accordingly, the issue's publication date is only approximately.
The original title or series title is likewise not established. “No 4” confirms that the publication belongs to a numbered sequence, but neither the supplied documentation nor the external sources located in this research establish the series title, the dates of earlier issues, or how many numbers were ultimately produced. The exact date of the first project in this series is currently unknown. The phrase “A LINE IS A WORD!” appears within Darlene Altschul’s contribution on page 54 and therefore has not been adopted as the title of the entire project.
