Fold is art book and zine show featuring over 60 bookmakers working at the intersection of art and text. This traveling exhibition/community library highlights the incredible range of publishing happening across the Midwest, while also making connections to national and international practices and projects.
Taking its cues from the collaborative nature of zines and artist-publishing, the Fold library comes to The Weather Station from stop-gap projects, an artist-run project space based in Columbia, MO (where the first iteration of the project initially debuted). As the collection moves to different artist-run spaces, Fold is reimagined and re-curated to fit each new space and vision.
For this special exhibition, The Weather Station is converted into both a library and an archive, bringing together 100+ artworks, each of which reimagines what a book can be. Please join us for an opening reception on Saturday, August 23rd, from 6-8pm. To view Fold during gallery hours, visit The Weather Station on Fridays or Saturdays from 12-4pm. The Weather Station is located at 658 Main Street, upstairs in Suite 212., in Downtown Lafayette, Indiana.
