THE ZINE SCENE IMPORTANT DATES Exhibition Dates: May 8 - May 26, 2018 Deadline for Online Registration: April 30 Delivery: All zines must be received at the gallery by May 5 ZINES! The interesting and wonderful world of DIY culture. What is a Zine you may ask? A Zine is a handmade and selfpublished magazine that can be reproduced in a cost effective manner and distributed to the public or traded with other zine creators and collectors. They can include many forms of printed matter, from limited-run artist books to cut-and-paste photocopy fanzines, and everything in between. ‘The Zine Scene’ exhibition explores the origins of zines from the original punk fanzines of the 1970’s, to the indie alternative zines of the 1990’s, and the evolution of what artists create today with a mix of various themes and ideas. Zines can be about anything, simple or complex, featuring culturally-loaded objects or themes, and even completely random things. Zines date back to the early 1930’s, but to this day continue to be vital in providing individuals with a means to share and express their ideas and opinions. This unique exhibition will highlight those viewpoints and promote the importance of self-publishing for all. We invite you to express your self and submit your best work to be featured within ‘The Zine Scene’ exhibition. SUBMISSION RULES This exhibition is open to all artists living in the US. Zines must not have been previously exhibited with TCAA. All zines must be ready for display.
