An email from recent Illustration graduate, Zack Zezima:
I just finished up making a zine called “Theories in Death and Nature”…It’s about death (morbid, I know) and 7 of the many religious/spiritual beliefs around it.
You can grab your own copy of the zine online via Etsy or in person at Desert Island in Brooklyn.
Go Zack go!

THE NY ART BOOK FAIR presents
CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS BOOKS CONFERENCE
New York City | October 2-3 2009
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
In collaboration with Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair, the Art Libraries Society of New York (ARLIS/NY) announces a conference on contemporary artists’ books. The program will include speakers, panels, artists’ presentations, and receptions. The conference focuses on recent developments in artists’ books. Sessions this year focus on zines, data-oriented artists’ books, reprints, print on demand, and criticism. These and other themes are intended to encourage dialog amongst scholars, collectors, artists, and librarians.
The conference opens with a free preview of the NY Art Book Fair on Thursday, October 1, from 6-8 pm. Over 150 exhibitors from 20 countries present contemporary art books, art catalogs, artists’ books, art periodicals, and ‘zines. The featured exhibition is a survey of books, posters and ephemera by RICHARD PRINCE. Don’t miss project rooms by the legendary super-school Werkplaats Typographie (Netherlands), and artist/designers Dexter Sinister (New York), together with JAPANESE POP THEN AND NOW, presented by Gallery 360 (Tokyo). And FRIENDLY FIRE is a no-holds-barred curated zone of the young and the restless, independent artist-producers and artist-activists.
The conference continues on Friday and Saturday with a series of eight conference sessions, including:
Print On Demand First-Hand: Artist-professor Andrea Robbins (University of Florida) shows how a student project took advantage of POD’s unique characteristics. Robbins, librarian-historian Jennifer Tobias (MoMA Libraries), and another commentator will then discuss POD in the larger context of artists’ books.
Zines, Institutional Collecting: Zine collections, conferences, & culture are percolating into large institutional collections and onto the radar of institutional curators and administration. Are Zines representative of a broader institutional interest in small-scale craft and artisanal book forms? Are there political ramifications to the authorship and production of Zines that make them anathema to library collections? Ryan Haley of the NYPL speaks with Jenna Freedman (Barnard College Library), Alycia Sellie (Pratt Institute Library), and Susan Thomas (City University of New York).
Redux, Reuse, Recycle: Artists’ Books Reprints and Digitizations: What do File Magazine, Avalanche, Sophie Ristelhueber, Walker Evans, and Interview have in common? They’ve all been reprinted or digitized. In this session, re-publishers will discuss the trend, specifically regarding the market for and reception of these blasts from the past.
…and much, much more.
