Zines are a low-budget, accessible 'democracy of the multiple' form of artistic and written expression, usually centred around photocopier technology as an easy and immediate form of reproduction, the zine then being freely distributed at little or no cost. Zines are often difficult to define and it is this difficulty of defining zines that contributes to its ever-changing dynamics and freedom that encourage experimental and innovative art forms.

Steal a peek at our preparation for this exhibition both elsewhere and high up in the trees.


Our single cabinet featuring a watercoloured arctic landscape, twenty-one wooden animals, painted white with hand-drawn markings, and a single copy of each of our nineteen zines.
