From the exhibit:

Independent Variables
Contemporary Zine Publications

Zines represent the power afforded self-publishers and demonstrate the liberating effects associated with democratic methods of distribution. Publications from a variety of artists populate this interactive celebration of independent voices.

This exhibition and another on the second floor are presented in conjunction with Minnesota Book Arts’ July 25, 2009 Book Art Biennial, Mature Content: The Artist’s Book as Advocate, a daylong exploration of art’s power as a tool of social change. Visit www.mnbookarts.org for more information.

For more independent thinking, visit Zinefest, the area’s premiere DIY craft, culture and self-publishing event, July 11 and 12, 2009 at Stevens Square Center for the Arts, 1905 3rd Ave. South, Minneapolis. Visit www.zinefest.org for a schedule of events.
