Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines

Phaidon

Copy Machine Manifestos: Artists Who Make Zines is the definitive guide to the history and cultural impact of artist-created zines in North America. This beautifully illustrated book explores five decades of zine-making as a vital artistic practice, featuring hundreds of zine covers, interiors, and related artwork from over 100 influential zine artists including Miranda July, Raymond Pettibon, and Kandis Williams. Why we love it: This is the first comprehensive publication dedicated to artists' zines, celebrating how independent creators have used the medium to build community and push the boundaries of visual art. Whether you're interested in zine culture, independent publishing, DIY art movements, or the history of alternative media, this book reveals the thriving aesthetic practice behind one of contemporary art's most dynamic forms. Perfect for artists, designers, collectors, and anyone passionate about independent art, zine history, and creative expression. Accompanying a major Brooklyn Museum exhibition, this paperback edition with jacket is an essential resource for understanding how zines have transformed artistic practice across painting, photography, film, video, and performance since 1970.
