Curated by Christopher Kardambikis

An exhibition of individual artists and collectives who focus on do-it-yourself publishing and print projects. Employing alternative methods of production and distribution to create books, zines, and video work, the exhibiting artists work with a variety of themes to actively engage a wide audience.
  
Bettie Breitweiser, The Institute of Extraterrestrial Sexuality and Encyclopedia Destructica, Juliacks, Justseeds, Darin Klein, Ed Luce, Ed Piskor, Louis M. Schmidt, Tom Scioli, Mary Tremonte, and Unicorn Mountain

As a satellite to the exhibition, Double Break Gallery (located at 1821 5th Avenue in Bankers Hill) will be showing new zines by: Josh Atlas, Jessica Greenfield, Ben Hernstrom, Jennifer Murray, and Jessica Vaughn.  

Darin Klein & Friends dig deep into the archive to create two fantastic installations for the exhibition Do Anything. One is a new wallpaper specially produced for the showcasing reproductions of highlights from my collection of queer publications. The other is a handmade vitrine (thanks, Jimmy!) containing a pretty astounding array of tiny artists’ publications and multiples from my collection that measure under a quarter page in size.
