"This project collects in one volume for the first time a selection of zines by Marcopoulos, many never before released, providing a unique insight and overview into an essential part of this influential artist's daily practice. Often self-published or created in collaboration with boutique and independent publishers like ROMA, Dashwood Books, and PPP Editions, these informal, DIY-aesthetic creations function as sketchbook, diary, installation space, and a means of processing Marcopoulos's daily practice of photographing his life, his family, his neighborhood, and the rarified cultural milieu in which he operates. This collection showcases an impressive array of printed zines, exploring each as an artistic object through an engaging layout. Beginning in 2015 and presented chronologically per year, key zines are featured--including some made during the pandemic, when Marcopoulos worked primarily on the screen, making PDF zines--and punctuated by individual images presented full scale. An interview with Hamza Walker underscores the role of zines as an essential part of Marcopoulos's artistic practice, emphasizing the personal, diaristic element within the work, while an essay from Maggie Nelson meditates on the work's position within a wider social and cultural context. Ari Marcopoulos: Zines is a must-have for anyone interested in this prolific artist's personal practice and zine culture.." -- Aperture website, accessed May 30 2023. https://aperture.org/books/ari-marcopoulos-zines-closed-zinelaunch-edition/
