SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS
Printed Matter presents QUEER ZINES, an inclusive survey of over 240 publications by international independent publishers, drawn from the collections of Philip Aarons and AA Bronson. QUEER ZINES is a historical survey of serial, independent publications with a queer sensibility, illustrating the trajectory of queer zine publishing from the early 70s to current day. Crossing traditional boundaries of race, class, and gender, these zines are often cheaply-produced and largely distributed by mail; their formal dynamism, their mixing of media, and their radical politics finding striking analogue in contemporaneous queer theory. The exhibition is accompanied by a curated booth of contemporary and out of print Queer Zines for purchase, as well as a weekend full of Queer Interventions by a number of Queer Zinemakers, and a conversation with Philip Aarons, Darin Klein and Raymond Cha.

Andrew Roth and PPP Editions is pleased to present a collaborative project created exclusively for the LA Art Book Fair by Leigh Ledare and Nicolas Guagnini. It consists of an intervention into 100 books on the social sciences: Marxism, psychoanalysis, linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, literary and art criticism, cultural studies, and literature. The intervention consists of circular holes filled with a variation of positions and possibilities within human sexual interaction.
