"Guy Schraenen (born 1941 in London; died 2018 in Paris) was the founder of the Galerie Kontakt, of the publishing house Guy Schraenen éditeur and of the Archive for Small Press & Communication (A.S.P.C.). He has also been an investigator and author of essays and various publications. His various projects focused primarily on the many forms of artist publications of the various international avant-garde and independent art movements of the late 1950s to 1980s. As a producer, publisher, distributor, collector, curator, and investigator, he was probably the only protagonist to deal with this genre of art in all possible roles - making him an important link between artists, institutions, and the public."
