AA Bronson / ISP residency at OCA

During his ISP residency at OCA, AA Bronson presents a lecture, a workshop and a project focusing on DIY publishing, FILE magazine and queer zines.Project: QUEER ZINESOpening Wednesday 27 January 2010QUEER ZINES presents a survey of serial, independent publications with a queer sensibility, spanning from the early 1970s to today, from Straight to Hell, Boyd McDonald’s ground-breaking, filthy, oft-times political, sex zine of the 1970s, to BUTT Magazine, the Dutch mainstream super-zine still circulating today. Among these seminal publications, the project includes an explosion of punk zines, perhaps best epitomized by the mythic JDs – zines that crossed the traditional boundaries of race, class, gender; cheaply produced and largely distributed by mail. Their formal dynamism, mixed media and radical politics find a striking analogue in contemporaneous queer theory.Lecture: AA Bronson: My Life in BooksWednesday 27 January 2010AA Bronson will present images and reflections on his life in art as seen through publications, beginning with the underground newspapers of the 1960s, and continuing with his involvement with artists’ books and periodicals from the early 1970s to the present.Workshop: Queer Zines, Queer StrategiesFriday 29 January 2010AA Bronson will lead a discussion about self-publishing and the fanzine, considering the history of General Idea, FILE magazine, the phenomenon of queer zines, and today’s technologies of YouTube and on-demand publishing.den Artikel auf Manystuff (en) lesen
