That's it for #CutCopyPaste2023! Everything came together so late for us that there wasn’t time to make a proper post ahead of it – even this was meant to go out on Sunday morning, but here we are, such is life.

Thanks to the trust and openness of Thing Books (@thingbooks.shop) and Shrub (@shrub.0128), we got a rare invitation to bring a selection of zines and other printed matter out to share at this first edition of the spun-off zine fair. Pitched as “a little otherwise”, it was a modest intervention into a hectic marketplace that often seems to only say “everything's fine”, presenting dwelling place to read, rest, or be challenged. Hopefully it demonstrates in a small way varied potentials of print and self-publishing, and how that intersects with autonomous, liberatory networks for collective learning, healing, organising, joy, care, action, and much more.

wares and thorns at the art book fair

wares infoshop library is going to be at the Singapore Art Book Fair.

We will be launching and selling our first two publications: one, an artist's book on the oversight and preclusion of fugitive histories, and another, an essay zine continuing from #NAWartweek, directly addressing the art world and its entanglements with capital.

[[EDIT: this turns out not to be true; it turns out editing this essay and making a zine takes way longer than you'd expect, sorry! We have an excerpt and a preview cover if you'd like to take a look and comment, but we are only launching one publication – though we've got a couple of others from friends, as well as stickers, flyers, and selections from the library!]]

Details, excerpts and images follow in the discussion section, but if you can, come on through and say hello!

There may be more, and there is room for more. We'd love for you to get involved, let's make stickers, pamphlets, posters, and plans together.

"One publishes to find comrades!"
