This exhibition at the legendary arts bookstore Printed Matter of materials from the archive of publicsfear, the art zine I cofounded and coedited with Pamela A. Ivinski in the early ’90s, featured production-related ephemera—including correspondence, mechanicals, mockups, to-do lists, and page layouts—as well as photographs of publicsfear events, original artworks, and collateral material I designed over the course of the publication’s three issues. Also presented were items related to a fourth issue of publicsfear that was never produced due to a lack of funding, including submissions by Doug Aitken, Sophie Calle, Glenn Ligon, Nan Goldin, Adrian Piper, and David Sedaris.

Archival titles and publicsfear issues were available for purchase at Printed Matter, alongside issues from and titles related to the output of Esopus.
