ZINES + PRESS

BRAIN WAVES is the current cover photo on the Recession Art website, an unexpected surprise! And news to us is that one of our zines (Caroline Paquita's Womanimalistic) is featured as a feminist lit pick for the upcoming show at Recession Art CultureFix, Still Figuring it Out: a feminist coming of age, curated by RAC's own Ana Cecilia Alvarez. Which is exciting.

Additionally, The Wall Street Journal interviewed me about zine culture, as well as the Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection's grand unveiling last Tuesday, with the debut of Fold, Staple, Share. My comments didn't make it into the article, but For the Birds' zine So You Want to Start a Feminist Collective... did grace the cover of the Greater New York section.

At the Fold, Staple, Share opening, I read a newly edited version of "This is a Thank You Song," which originated as a piece on this blog. I plan on sharing the new version of that article here soon, as it focuses even more on the idea of creating safer spaces.

BRAIN WAVES: CLOSING TODAY

The BRAIN WAVES exhibition at RAC (Recession Art Culturefix) will be closing today, Sunday, July 1. Gallery hours are from 2pm-8pm.

We had a great opening on June 8. RAC was filled up with BRAIN WAVES artists, supporters, and tons of my favorite artists + zinesters from around New York.

First visitor of the night was the tireless Mr. Jason Andrew.

Madeleine Dahl is one of the 3 great RAC interns I've met during the span of the show.

Madeleine interviewed me in one of the most on-point and fun-to-answer interviews I've been asked to do.

You can find that on the RAC website,
along with an article of Madeleine's highlights from the show,
and a sweet hat-tip from RAC intern Erin Keane about ways to hang 3-dimensional art.

Jason Roy's print edition, April 15th-21st, Athens, Georgia.

Me & Melanie Kress, Curator of RAC and tons of other great projects (like Concrete Utopia and i am not a good enough feminist) celebrate after a successful opening.

Come visit us for our last day today, from 2pm-8pm.
