A pop-up artists' books and zines display organized by Marshall Korshak. End of Century was a chic boutique that heralded the gentrification of the Lower East Side. In this pop-up, zines are absorbed into the fashion-art scene, just like any other product such as dresses and handbags.
Death of Print, Collection I At End of Century 175 Rivington NY, NY 10002 endofcenturynyc.com facebook.com/deathofprint
April 3, 2011 - June 3, 2011.
Information sharing is in the midst of its greatest transformation since the advent of the printing press.
As the core of the media system shifts towards digital, independents and artists are reacting by creating a new wave of works on paper.
This re- found interest is what motivated Death of Print, a platform for artists to sell their independently published artist books, zines, and other printed media.
Collection I will be Death of Print’s first installation. It will be built at the Lower East Side concept store End of Century, an unconventional platform for creatives that is staged as showroom, store, salon, and exhibition space.
The space and its contents are fluid, where everything is impermanent and available for exchange.
