(self)Publish or Perish
Books, Zines, Comics, Postcards, Pamphlets & Manifestos
curated by Jo Cook
February 6 – March 7, 2004
Opening: Friday, February 6, 8:00 p.m.
From February 6th to March 7th Open Space will be exhibiting work by over 130 national and international artists, graphics outlaws, and fanatic zinesters. Not an overview or even a survey show, this exhibition is another in the growing wave of regional and national book shows where theory books get parked at the door.
From full-colour comix by international art stars to photocopied grocery lists by Anonymous, zines are about personal obsessions and enthusiasms. The zines your mother collects (or self-publishes) are probably not the ones you would – and that’s the whole point.
