PROLONGED READING NOT APPRECIATED

Post Punk zines, small press publications and artefacts from the Field Study Archive

On display are a selection of publications from alternative groups, zines by individuals, examples of network culture, visual poetry, eccentric and radical writings and disinformation produced in the UK, USA and Australia during the 80s and 90s.

These publications emerged from the DIY counter culture of the post punk era and employ tactics including anonymity, an anti-copyright stance, exploit the availability of photocopiers for self publishing and explore an anti-aesthetic and anti-consumerist visual style.
