Approaching zine culture through the lens of experimental publishing and publishing as artistic practice.
Zine Club has collaborated with many artists, collectives, organizations and friends to create and re-interpret projects as print zines, digitally presented media and exhibition.
GenderFail Archive
For this presentation at the Vancouver Art Book Fair, Sylvana dAngelo visited our studio in Brooklyn, NY picking a section of over 65 titles from the GenderFail Archive. dAngelo focused mainly on our robust selection of zines. The zines are presented with sculptures made by New York based artist Gracie Whiteside along with screen printed pillow cases by myself. The Vancouver Art Book Fair reading room showcases an intersectional perspective of publishers, printing styles and subject matter representing queer, trans, non-binary artists, Indigenous artists, artists of color and even heteronormative cisgender white men.

Bibliocache at Vancouver Art Book Fair
To cache is to archive, stash, collect and store. This project pulls together work from artists based in British Columbia who have produced books, but may not use the format as their primary medium. Other artists were asked to produce books for the first time as a potential extension of their practices.
