I truly hate whoever came up with “overselling” in the sense of “i know you booked this travel method for an actual reason yet bear with us we also sold it to many other people so we don’t have it for you.”

On a basic level it’s wild no one thought “what if we photocopied the zines so people could read them.”

Yeah, it’s sad too because I had met with the original curator and there’s an alt timeline of the show that’s an interesting celebration of zines that moves more thoughtfully between zines as art object and zine making as political act. I took my students and they still got a lot out of it.

Joe Brainard first editions go for up to like 2500 though they’re technically I guess mini-comics, this is also the problem with things like the Brooklyn Museum zine show it gives people the idea zines are worth money. The very idea of a first edition zine is hilarious.
