• Since 2002, we have been making zines to share with you.

    What began as a cut, fold and staple affair has since grown to become something altogether more elaborate, something more akin to our artists’ books.

    Today, what we refer to as a zine straddles with ease the space between zine and artists’ book by way of small publication.

    Call them what you will, we ask only that you derive some joy from them.

    Upon last count, we have released 147 zine titles.

  • Our zines can be found in the collections of:

    Melbourne Museum; Monash University Library; National Library of Australia; State Library Victoria; State Library of New South Wales; State Library of Queensland; University of Melbourne Library; University of West England; Tate (UK); Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections, Ohio University; ACA Library of Savannah College of Art & Design; and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (USA).
