NEW YORK - GUESS WHAT? WE FOUND ANOTHER ZINE WE LIKE

By viceland

So this art zine Article showed up in the office, a strange and chubby little thing that’s packaged in a sweet double cassette case with a killer mix tape that spans Silent Barn’s lesser-known shows to Nigeria’s populist politics, each one dubbed by hand one at a time. And apparently all the art in the magazine is printed at size, meaning nothing is blown up or shrunk down (though come on! how about including some good writing, zine makers of today?), which makes this whole thing a laborious project that harkens back to the kind of shit that made the 90s an exciting time for publishing. Honcho Nicholas Chatfield-Taylor said he started Article because he’s tired of looking at art on a computer screen all day, which is funny because the zine actually kinda feels like the internet, like how you process the previous thing while looking at the next. It makes more sense by turning the page. What happens when you get to the last page then, you ask? The world stops making sense and you die, the end.
