It’s that time again. San Francisco Zine Fest at the County Fair building in SF during Labor Day weekend, Sept 4-5. Zines, comics, hand-made art and paper treasures of all kinds will be shown and sold. I’ve been attending this event and tabling since 2003. This year in addition to my typecritters, sketchbooks, and gift tags, and magnets I’ve got a new project. Inspired by the images from the educational book “The Mind,” published by Time Life in 1964, I want to remix the book, inviting others to collaborate, and show the work online.
Here’s the experiment: each artist gets a kit of 5-10 images from the book, a few pages of text, a page of textured art paper and a 5×7 mat board canvas to create a collage. The artist can add more ink, original drawing or other found images to their piece and once they’ve completed the collage, e-mail the final image to me to post here online. There have been 20 total kits created which will be for sale for $2.00 at my table at San Francisco Zine Fest on Sept 4-5, 2010. Each finished collage will be posted along with the artist’s name and link to their site once I receive it via e-mail.
I’m going to kick it off by posting my finished piece in the next few days. Stay tuned. Also, e-mail me (rani at ranigoel dot com) if you want to participate and can’t make it to Zinefest. We can arrange something.
