Art of Zines 04

    Art of Zines 04 explored the creative and often subversive phenomenon of the zine, which is typically defined as a modest art book publication produced by an individual or small group. For the three years prior to this presentation, San Jose’s Anno Domini Gallery played a vital role in the zine community by organizing an annual zine exhibition. SJMA partnered with Anno Domini to mount Art of Zines 04.
