Fanzines
- Do It Yourself!
(Germany) | Ausstellungstour
vom 11.06. bis 27.06.2004. Die Ausstellung wird kombiniert mit Vorträgen
im Juni 2004 auf Deutschland-Tour sein. "Fanzines in Bierbüchsen
oder Filmdosen, eingenäht in aufwendige Stoffumschläge oder kunstvoll
bedruckt – die Vielfalt dieses Mediums scheint unerschöpflich. Ihre
Bezeichnung, die erstmals in den 1930er Jahren auftauchte, setzt sich aus den
englischen Begriffen „Fan“ und „Magazine“ zusammen. Das erklärt
bereits, um was es sich dabei handelt: Um selbst verlegte und vertriebene Publikationen
von Fans für Fans, die gemeinsame Interessen haben oder der gleichen Szene
angehören. Fanzines sind radikal subjektive Veröffentlichungen. In den
letzten zwanzig Jahren löste sich ein Teil dieser Medien vom Kontext der
Fankulturen, um noch stärker die eigenen Ansichten und Erlebnisse zum Thema
zu machen. Gemeinsam ist all diesen Heften, Video-, Kassetten- oder Online-Zines,
dass sie zuallererst aus Leidenschaft und nicht aus kommerziellen Gründen
produziert werden. Do It Yourself, das Prinzip des Selbermachens, ist die zentrale
Idee, die hinter diesen Medien steckt und sie zu einem autonomen Bereich der Presselandschaft
macht. Sie gründet auf dem Gedanken, dass man selbst am besten über
die Themen schreiben kann, die einen betreffen. „Fanzines
– Do It Yourself!“ - tourt als Ausstellung mit Vortrag durch siebzehn
deutsche Städte (Termine). Die kleine Fanzineschau wird die materielle und
gestalterische Vielfalt dieser Publikationen präsentieren. Ähnlich dem
Layout früherer Hefte wird der Vortrag verschiedene Schnipsel zusammentragen:
Geschichte der Fanzines, kulturelle und politische Dimensionen dieser Medien,
ihre veränderte Bedeutung in Zeiten des Internets, Fotos, Videos und O-Töne.
Die Tour möchte Fanzines dabei nicht nur ausstellen, sondern dazu auffordern,
selbst Initiative zu ergreifen und ein eigenes Heft heraus zu geben: Do It Yourself!

| Zine
Museum at Bumbershoot
(US) | An
upcoming zine exhibit at Bumbershoot, Seattle's annual arts festival (which takes
place Labor Day weekend, 2003). It is a pretty big event -- lots of nationally
known and more obscure bands, poets, artists, and other performers come together
and do their thing. This year (2003), the folks running Bumbershoot have given
us at ZAPP
(THE ZINE ARCHIVES & PUBLISHING PROJECT) an entire building to showcase zines
and zine creators. Along with spoken word performances, readings, and workshops,
we plan to have a small "zine
museum" up so folks can see the some
of the amazing creations zine publishers have made over the years.
