Festival | Green Zine and Photo Book Fair


The term “green” is used as an adjective to describe someone to be inexperienced, fresh, brand-new. Zines are typically published with a sense of urgency — originally as a method to subvert glossy mainstream publications, zines have now become an alternative method of disseminating information outside of the internet. This fair will feature a selection of firsts, or “green” zinemakers, and emerging publications by both established and first time independent publishers. Landscape artist and activist Babbie Dunnington, in collaboration with a group of Teens, will produce the Green Reading Room as an attempt to foster independent publishing.

Opening Reception | Candice Lin: Spice


Spice resembles a shop that specializes in the sale of obscure packages of herbs. The installation reflects on the histories and peculiarities relating to fictions of authenticity in racial representation specific to the area surrounding the gallery space in the Lower East Side and Chinatown. Reaching back to theatrical tourism of staged opium dens in Chinatown in the 19th and early 20th century, Spice looks at how histories of colonialism correlate with prevailing assumptions of purity and intoxication. The exhibition questions how difference is created, consumed, and capitalized upon, inviting viewers to think through the structural inequalities embedded in such beliefs.
