About this Event
Compulsive Archive is an archive and long-term project based in Milan, Italy, aimed at rediscovering and enhancing the lesser-known punk publishing, that of feminist and queer fanzines produced between the 1990s and the 2000s.
Hundreds of fanzines, records, fetishes, bulletins, letters on paper and early emails represent the heart of Compulsive Archive, which intends to keep itself alive through different activities and moments of confrontation: talks, publications, exhibitions, artistic residencies, readings.
Starting from the idea of archive as living matter, able not only to tell the past but also to make people reflect on the present, Compulsive Archive has been included in the volume 'Out Of The Grid. Italian zine 1978–2006'. In the setting of SPRINT24, founder Giulia Vallicelli will show and comment on some originals of the fanzines mentioned in the book.
The date inaugurates the 12th edition of SPRINT @sprintmilano, whose annual Art Book Fair will take place on Saturday, Nov. 23 and Sunday, Nov. 24 (11AM–9PM) at Spazio Maiocchi (Via Maiocchi 5) and Regina Giovanna (Via Maiocchi 4), with the participation of more than 150 local and international Publishers. On Friday, Nov. 22 (6–10PM) at Spazio Maiocchi and Maiocchi 10 there will be the opening of all exhibitions related to SPRINT, with a special audio/video reading/performance that will play on a loop throughout the evening.
SPRINT is an artist-led project coordinated by the non-profit associations O' & GALATTICA @galattica.20131
