"Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists who Make Zines is the first expansive publication to explore the rich history of five decades of artist's zines produced in North America. It includes more than one hundred artists and artists' collaboratives and features over eight hundred zines and related artworks across collage, drawing, film, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, and video. With essays by exhibition curators Branden W. Joseph and Drew Sawyer, as well as specially commissioned texts by leading authors, critics, and academics, this book illuminates the vital importance of zines to artistic production today."
