WE ARE OFF TO MONTREAL!
The Lonely Coast by Neil Fenton and curated by LB opens this THURSDAY at Coatcheck Gallery, 5-9pm.
Did we mention there is also a Lonely Coast zine? Those of you at the opening will be getting the first peek at our first official LB publication.
Ben Freedman is a Toronto-based photographer currently exploring zine making. His two most recent zines explore his immediate surroundings. Using black and white 35mm snapshot imagery, the zines track his mood during the winter months in Toronto like a visual diary. They explore themes of isolation, stillness and self reflection using grainy, emotive images.
With the weather in Toronto warming up and people venturing outdoors again, we are curious to see how this might be reflected in future zines.
Second Zine. Third one on the way.
Jimmy Limit is an OCAD artist who experiments with photocopies in his zine making. He has had exhibitions in Toronto including at the extinct 107 Shaw Gallery.
Girls on Film is a contemporary photography zine edited by Igor Termenon which showcases portraits taken with film cameras.
New zine “Friend Zone” from Blood of The Young looks amazing.
Yup. Friend Zone, homies! We sifted through the few hundred (?!) submissions and narrowed it down to an even thirty. We have lots of our long-standing pals mixed in with new, exciting names and… well, we’re really stoked on this.
