A Year in Zines - 2024

Larry Wolf, A Year in Zines 2024 (2025)

I realized that most of these have not made it to my blog, so here's a very quick recap.

A Glimpse of History

Larry Wolf, March on Washington 1979 (2024)

After the 2024 election, I needed a reminder that I have lived in rough times. It's not new. So this zine of images from the 1979 March on Washington for LGBTQ Rights. Images from my archive. I was also there in 1987 and 1993. 

Within The Canon

For several months in 2024, Gallery 293 at the Art Institute was filled with works by queer artists who lived in New York in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. I learned of their cross-connections through my own research. These five zines, In Conversation, put me in dialogue with the artists: Greer Langton, David Wojnarowicz, Zoe Leonard, Martin Wong, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and others. There's a separate page about my explorations

Enfants Terribles

Arthur Rimbaud and David Wojnarowicz shook things up in their time and for decades after. They lived almost exactly 100 years apart. Now together in a zine (and this earlier blog post).

A Summer Afternoon

More from the archive and also a risograph version. We were young once, and in our hearts, always.

Dual Lens

Larry Wolf, Dual Lens 2024 (2025)

I've been exploring making images with a lens intended for 3D. I'm captivated by how the two lenses make a pair of overlapping images, the right and left sides similar and different. This is the first zine to hold those images. More are in the works (see also Dual Lens).
