Printed Matter, New York, NY, June 20, 2024
“An Evening with Publicsfear” featured readings and presentations from publicsfear contributors Sean Landers and Kerri Scharlin. Landers read excerpts from Dear Publicsfear, his artist’s project from publicsfear 1 (1992) and Scharlin revisited—and updated—her Kerri: A Color/Activity Book project from publicsfear 3 (1993). I opened the evening with a brief introduction and tribute to Pamela A. Ivinski (1963–2018), the cofounder and coeditor of the art zine. A reception for the event, which related to the Printed Matter exhibition The Publicsfear Archive, followed.
