More about Zines - What they are and History
"The early twentieth century was littered with journals and gazettes created by artists to serve as soapboxes for their quirky ideas. Futurist, Dadaist, and Surrealist art provocateurs wrote dissonant poetry, composed asymmetric typography, pasted expressive collages, and printed it all in crudely produced publications. Each movement, in its own way, proffered the Modernist notion that art was a total experience. These art and culture periodicals, or “zines,” were weapons of cultural warfare, attacking convention." - AVANT-GARDE ZINES IDEA NO41: Magazines as laboratory for artistic experiment from 100 Ideas that Changed Graphic Design
