Zine/Dot

Zineswap are preparing themselves for an amazing showcase/exhibition of contemporary zine publishing, starting next week.

Since setting up Zineswap several years ago, Robert Peart and Gordon Armstrong have been offering a resource and opportunity for different artists and individuals to share their own zine creations, whilst themselves, slowly building a vast archive of contemporary Zine publishing. For the month of June the Orange Dot Gallery is proud to announce an exciting exhibition from zineswap, which brings you the rare opportunity to view their vast archive collection of contemporary zine publishing in a very special installation.

The whole archive collection will be showcased in specially designed shelving created by Paul Teigh, with his work-partner Martin Russell. Based on the lo-fi, mass-production aesthetic of zines, the shelving will utilise a similar language, allowing the zines to be shown off by cover, and also to be flicked through as if they were in a comic shop.  These specially designed units will be available for purchase through a month long silent auction.

In conjunction with the ongoing exhibition a live and interactive screen printing event on 17th June (from 6-9pm) will be brought to you by the very talented people at Waste Yourself.  Spaces for this are limited so get in now.

Zine/Dot is running from Monday 7th June - Friday 25th June at The Orange Dot, 54 Tavistock Place, Bloomsbury, London.
