The publishing practice of artist C Frew (@moongarbage). Small-run printed works, collaborative projects, & programming.

Post MdW Fair Haul -

I’ve tried to tag all the publishers but some aren’t on IG. If you’re interested, shoot me a msg and I can link you. I’ve also got a stack of approx. 250-350 prints to redistribute for free from artists all across the Midwest! All of these things will be living at @creaholland. Wanna thumb through some books or pick up a free print? LMK!

Join us at Nightjar Arts Collective this weekend for some afternoon zine workshops as part of Records of Rebellion: A History of Political Zines!

Come to either one (or both if you want) to play around with zine materials and how you can express your (yes, YOUR!) perspective in print.

Prompts, guidance, and basic supplies will be included, but you are welcome to bring any supplies or specific images you would like to include in your zine. We hope to see you there!

$this past year ive been reflecting a lot on Flatpack Publications, a publishing outfit originally named for the clean shippable modularity of furniture, of a machine for living, something slick and aspirational, designed as open-source, a clean-edged studio practice i can fit in my corolla. something where everything has been accounted for and every edge is known. in the 7+ years since i started writing out the press' infrastructure at a starbucks in seguin TX, the metaphor feels like its been refracted into something more vibrant: flat-pack not in the furniture sense but in the compost or earwax or sediment sense; a practice which isn't executed but accumulated. i started estrogen in october and its the best thing i have ever done for myself in my entire life. it feels like pouring tap beer down the side of a glass and watching the head foam up, like dripping sand slurry from your hand on the beach into little spires. i can feel it sticking to my body, like my future isn't executed but accumulated. i hate every bloated mushroom head bastard killing us and everything that we love, and i wont ever forgive the people who stand by while it happens, and they will die stupid and bastard and useless, and more than that i love lebanese makaroons and sending lewds to my love and riding my bike while listening to music at night and the feeling when someone whose work i like likes my work. i don't want the corolla anymore, i want a studio that goes from edge to edge, and love when the evening sunlight hits the page of my book while i read in the corner booth of a restaurant$
