AN EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT
A zine by Gracia & Louise made especially for the IMPACT7 2011 Printmaking Conference, 27th – 30th September, 2011

Edition of 100
September, 2011

A 21cm X 30cm (folded to 7.5cm X 10.5cm in proportion), full-colour zine.

Copies of this zine were given to the first thirty people who attended the panel discussion, Reifying zines: a roundtable discussion of the relationship between ephemera and institutions, chaired by Anna Poletti at IMPACT7: Intersections & Counterpoints | International Multi-disciplinary Printmaking Conference hosted by Monash University. Copies were available at the mini zine fair held at MUMA, and are now available through our online store.

(The biennial IMPACT Conference originated at the Centre for Fine Print Research and was first hosted at the University of the West of England in 1999 in association with the Royal West of England Academy and the Southern Graphics Council USA.)

In addition to its IMPACT7 roots, this zine was made as Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet played. It, too, inspired the balance you see our characters attempting to hold. Having been fortunate enough to see Graeme Murphy's Romeo & Juliet performed twice in the month of September by The Australian Ballet, it is little wonder its inspiration carried over.
