Ditigial SlideShow --- Brooklyn Museum • CopyMachine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines • Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines • Brooklyn Museum • I, anonymous at first, didn’t call IGT a zine either in the beginning. Underground rag maybe …reaching back to my counter culture roots and back further to the pamphleteer printers of old. But the zine scene in the early-mid 80's was happening - everywhere but in NYC . LoL! Hardcore post-Punk and the like. Zine was counter to any counter culture that was selling out… Wasn’t the 70's fan zine first a spoof on whatever rock and roll? And then there were accessible Xerox machines, the post-daDa mail-art Johnsons, gender bending pages and freak comics. This was the scene I was going to trade and identify with. The IGT had started as a parodic take on the new downtown “graffiti art “scene. A counter to the counter narrative. there were only a few spots - underground record and head shops plus anarchist bookstores. Surprisedly @printedmatterinc took a few those early $1 IGT pocket fold ups. In the 70’s Soho downtown establishments were pretty snobby. I had an “artist’s book” or two rejected but now in the early 80s it was an easy shoe-in. The IGTimes was bringing both downtown artists’ own children and inner-city kids into their store. The real twist was IGTimes’ main audience and contributors immediately became the inner-city artists themselves. In a couple years Phase2 joined the ranks and made the IGT more authentic with his “funky nous deco” design and more subversive in his counter narrative to the now popularly called “graffiti” art and culture. “Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists who make Zines” is a vast freak show - hundreds of zines from the 70s to our uncertain future. Perfect placement for the 2023/24 renderings of Aerosol Art Armada digital “slideshow” --catty corner to the 80s NYC film freaks. ”The zine” made sense to anyone chasing the “last of the film underground”. I was also known in that scene for doing “live cinema” slide shows in downtown clubs and abandon urban spaces. A museum’s corner projected as an open zine. • Props to @brooklynmuseum AV team.
