Join us for a talk with curator and historian Jordan Strom, presented in conversation with the exhibition "Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines." Strom’s presentation will focus on British Columbia–based art zines, produced in the 1990s and 2000s, that featured collaborative drawing and collective collage.
This talk will examine the shared visual language of a number of these zines, their creators and the larger underground scene where they circulated on the West Coast. It will consider how these collaboratively drawn books created exchange economies that were not only responding to and connecting with broader art zine communities in central Canada and south of the border, but also reacting to major changes taking place in media culture and the new digital economy at the start of the new century.
This event will be hosted by Jared Wiercinski, Head Librarian of the Vancouver Art Gallery Library and Archives.
Capacity is limited. Registration required.
WHEN: June 14, 4 to 5 PM
