Paper Cuts

Center for Books Arts: Paper Cuts examines twenty-five years of independent publishing in the United States through a collection of more than 600 zines and small-press publications gathered and researched by Christopher Kardambikis over the past decade. Developed through extensive travel, studio visits, and sustained conversations with artists and publishers across the country, the project documents a distributed and largely self-organized field of artistic production operating outside commercial and institutional publishing structures.
