Artzines No. 10 explores ten zines from ten selected zine makers and enthusiasts, each contributing a unique perspective on a method of making and distributing with deep historical roots and contrastingly minimal material restrictions. Printed Matter’s Director Max Schumann presents a selection of zines from his personal collection and from the store’s inventory; his essay provides a historical analysis of zinemaking as it stands informed by literary traditions stemming from the 16th century and through phases of textual, conceptual, and transgressive applications.
India Menuez from 8-Ball Community Press, Pat McCarthy from Born to Kill, Sandeep Salter from Picture Room and several other authoritative voices on zine production come together in this informative expose on the most arguably communicative form of artists’ book.
