DESCRIPTION
The vibrant and bustling 12 HR Zine Machine is a marathon exhibit for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche! Madeleine Co. challenges artist teams to create a handmade “zine” art book every hour of the festival. Zine content is inspired by ideas generated in real-time by audience members both in person and online. Curated artist teams represent a range of Canadian talent, including publisher Koyama Press and award-winning cartoonist Chester Brown. Nuit Blanche guests are invited into the colourful zine-making environment to create alongside the artists.
Zines will be distributed to Nuit Blanche guests throughout the evening and available to read online.
Curated by: Gladstone Hotel
Presented by: Scotiabank Nuit Blanche
