Under new management!

Hello,

I am very excited to be able to announce that myself (Steve Carlton) and Elizabeth Murray Jones are going to be taking over the running of Salford Zine Library. I am an actual qualified librarian and we both make zines under the name 'Young Explorer', so we reckon that we're well placed to continue Craig's excellent work and make the library an inspiring place to visit for as many people as possible.

We have loads of things we want to do but we're also keen to get the whole community involved. If you have any ideas or suggestions for improving the library, please get in touch. We're currently drawing up plans for exciting new stuff, so watch this space! In the mean time, if you have any zines that you would like to submit to the library, please note the change of address. There's no selection criteria - we accept anything as long as it is self published.

Many thanks,

Steve and Liz

Carl Gunhouse



Carl Gunhouse was born in 1976 in Boston, Massachusetts, but he spent his formative years in suburban New Jersey. Growing up, he developed a love/hate relationship with suburbia that led to the angst familiar to most suburban youth. With this unrest came the discovery of the anger and DIY ethics of hardcore punk rock. Yearning to be part of the hardcore scene, he started photographing bands, which began his love of photography.

Made in Arnhem


The Office of Mark Simmonds Newsletter started in Arnhem in March 2011. Each newsletter contains a single article which is typed directly onto an A4 sheet using an AEG Olympia Traveller De Luxe typewriter at the office. The original is then photocopied, folded and posted via snail mail to national and international subscribers. If away from the office, for example abroad, the newsletter is handwritten. Initially a fortnightly bulletin, as of January 2012 it is posted monthly. In July 2012, the then total of 25 newsletters were compiled for the first time to commemorate the office's imminent relocation from Arnhem to a then unknown destination.

"My first MA photography project explored social dimensions of modernity. By looking at the micro level we can deduct information about the social climate we live in. I also explored the notion that institutional constraint is always answered by individual acts of resistance."

Mr Spoqui + Giorgio di Palma = Ceramic Issue


Giorgio di Palma was born in Grottaglie, Taranto, Italy in the 1981. He has no experience to boast about art institutes and academies and studied Archaeology. His first job had nothing to do with the world of art, he worked as computer technician in Budapest. Giorgio loved painting his dog Lucky next to characters of his imagination. But one day, in the 2009, He is now working with ceramic, like his father and other people in Grottaglie do. He always avoids giving his objects a real function. In an age of waste and excess, He wants to create unusable handmade products.
